Outside the museum (goodness knows what happens on cold wet days) we had to line up with military precision or like prisoners in a camp and wait for our allotted time for entry came. Then the assistance inside the Belvedere barked at us about putting bags in the lockers which was causing a problem as there was great kerfuffles over not having the right change for the lockers. The wonderfully curated art more than made up for these petty indignities. A thrill to see these paintings some of the very famous close up and see the brush work almost like seeing the artist at work. The narrative of late nineteenth century western art and the explosion of creativity the beginning of the twentieth century was palpably laid out. Wow...

Upper palace is amazing, staff are helpful and polite. Well worth the visit. Fabulous architecture. The ceilings inside are gorgeous ( big fan of looking up). Paintings galore and some fab sculpture. Spent hours there. Dont bother with the lower palace. Some of the staff are outright rude and frankly theres not much to see. One corridor of paintings, 2 rooms and some medieval art in the stables. Thats all. Not worth the entry fee or the walk, but must say the fountains en route are lovely so the walk wasnt a total loss.

Absolutely must-visit art gallery, beautiful complex and garden. I purchased the ticket for the upper fine view. The only downside was that it seemed from the ticket that the audio guide was included, instead once you got there they were to be purchased separately for a cost of 5 euros each. I recommend that you take them to better benefit from the visit.

If you're into experiencing traditional practices then this classic training and grooming of the Lipizzaner stallions at the Spanish riding school is a perfect choice.

The centuries-old training between the rider and the horses moving synchronously to the rhythm of Viennese music is a treat for any equestrian.

Enter directly to the Upper Belvedere and be amazed by the display of artworks around you by artists like Gustav Klimt, Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and other renowned artists.

Find intricate artworks on different mediums and themes, decorated Gothic altars, and more prominent works at the exhibition display.

Did you know that The Kiss is a controversial artwork owing to the criticism it received on unveiling but public fundraising brought it back as a national treasure?

Seeing The Kiss with my own eyes, while watching the faces of the crowd light up with the same emotion I felt, was truly magical. Looking out over the palace gardens from the windows was equally unforgettable — a moment of beauty that felt invaluable.

The Belvedere Palace was amazing. Gustav Klimt exhibit was absolutely beautiful. Having museum greeters on each floor was very helpful if you had questions. The grounds were magnificent. Truly enjoyed our visit.

I enjoyed the self guided audio tour and walking the grounds. I didn't realize it was mostly artwork on display. It would have been great to explore more of the castle.

Thoroughly enjoyable to see both the architecture, together with the history and survey of artwork from pre-Renaissance Austria to Gustav Klimt's work - a must see!
