The Upper Belvedere Castle is well worth seeing. In addition to the well-kept interior and jordium, extraordinary works by Klimt (including The Kiss) and others are admired. Easily reached by streetcar.

Man, woman, their relationship to each other, their different gender, runs through the entire exhibition and the life's work of RENATE BERTLMANN, performance artist with a political message, sympathetic, courageous woman. It is a pity, if not downright "unforgivable", that her MESSERROSENFELD of 2019 was neither exhibited in the Austria - Pavilion of the BIENNALE ARTE DI VENEZIA nor even found any mention, neither textual nor pictorial. Nothing ! This is inexplicable. Also the ticket - and guide - staff was totally uninformed in this matter ? How, Where, What, Why ?

I liked the wide range of attractions covered by the pass, including the fact that you can use the hop-on hop-off buses without restrictions. There were never any problems scanning the code. Unfortunately, "Time Travel" was not included. There is a slight deduction in the rating for the fact that - at least for me - downloading to the cell phone was cumbersome. I would have liked to have received a pass in card form at the info center. So I always had to hope that my cell phone battery wouldn't die in the meantime Unfortunately you had to pay an extra €9 in Schönbrunn to see all the rooms. But it was still worth it. The booklet accompanying the pass should definitely include the opening times of the attractions! The pass was helpful for me overall.
