The palace is amazing. The guide was amazing too. She shared so much information about the palace, the owner, and also about the paintings and the historic, social and artistic context that they were made in. Very engaging too.

Visiting Belvedere Palace was one of the experiences that impressed me most in Vienna. From the very first moment, I had the feeling of being in an elegant and harmonious place, where everything—from the architecture to the gardens—is designed to convey beauty and balance. One of the things I appreciated most were the gardens: neat, meticulously cared for, and with a spectacular view of the Upper Belvedere. Walking among the fountains and paths gave me a sense of calm and wonder, and it was also one of the most beautiful places to take photographs. Inside the palace, what moved me most was the art collection, particularly the works of Gustav Klimt. Seeing The Kiss in person was special: I had only seen the painting in books and pictures, but in real life it conveys a completely different intensity. I also liked the exhibition layout, which was clear and well organized, allowing visitors to enjoy the works without rushing. I also really appreciated the atmosphere of the place: it is not just a museum, but a space that tells a story of history, art, and refinement. The bright rooms, stucco work, and large windows make for a pleasant and engaging visit. In conclusion, the Belvedere left me with very positive memories: it is a place that manages to combine art, history, and beautiful scenery, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna. It is a stop that is not easily forgotten and is definitely worth the time spent visiting.

In addition to seeing most of the city, it was convenient to be able to hop on and off at the various stops as we pleased. We only stayed in Vienna for one night, and the Big Bus allowed us to get around the city without having to take public transportation. We will repeat this experience in other cities.

Bought the vienna pass for 2 days ( during off season) It was easy to use and i was able to see alot. I Went to the belvedere castle, ferris wheel, schönbrunn castle, sisi museum, the museum for the crowned jewels, leopold museum, Danube tower and used the hop on hop off busses as well as the train in schönbrunn. I recommend planning your day well, to get the most out of your card. Some attractions have timeslots or need reservations before hand. Some open early and others are open late. I highly recommend talking to people at "VPG Vienna PASS GmbH" to get your guide and information about this. The pass for example did not include all the rooms at the schönbrunn Castle. However I was able to gain full entrance with a 9 euro upgrade, which was totally worth it. It's hard to use the hop on hop off busses as the only mode of transport. I recommend getting getting a public transport card as well ( especially if you want to optimise you time), they are available for purchase at all subway stations. I paid 14 euros for 48 hours. Vienna public transport was pretty easy to navigate with Google maps. It also gives a lot more flexibility.
