Belvedere Palace

Tolles Schloss mit einer wunderschönen Parkanlage und bei schönem Wetter ☀️kann man dort herrlich spazieren gehen. Wer möchte kann natürlich auch auf den zahlreichen Bänken die Füße hochlegen oder man begibt sich in das innere des Schlosses und lässt sich in die Zeit des Kaisers zurück versetzen.

soo amazing! really beautiful gardens to walk through, palace is gorgeous, loved the klimt collection. there is also a student discount. don’t need to get tickets ahead of time, but i might recommend going earlier in the day since it got a little busy later. not too crowded, though.

Very impressive grounds and buildings - worth a trip just to walk around outside. Of course, the main attraction is Klimt's "The Kiss", but there are many other wonderful works of art. It's not as large as some other galleries and as such, it only took us about an hour and a half to look around. We went towards the end of the day and it wasn't too busy.
We had the Vienna Pass and couldn't see how to pre-book tickets on line, so went to the ticket sales on the day to find out we didn't need a ticket and to just show the Vienna Pass at the main entrance.

A stunning array of art in an architectural masterpiece set among beautiful formal gardens. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so. We were there in mid-September, and it was not crowded at all. The galleries are well arranged, and some of them are in beautifully decorated rooms that give an impression of what the palace was like in Imperial days. Don't miss the museum in the smaller building at the base of the garden walk as it has some great art work, too.

Klimt's Kiss is actually the main reason why I chose Vienna as my travel destination after my conference. I went to the upper Belvedere and it made me feel it was worth coming to this city!

It took me about 4 hours to visit the palace in-depth (almost listened to all the audio tracks). Definitely worth paying 5 Euro for understanding the history and the art. And I really love that they provided a wide variety of languages for the audio guide, even Cantonese one, which was a surprise as I didn't expect a German speaking country would have that. Listening to my mother language made me learn all the things better and more pleasantly. Whoever suggested making a Cantonese track, thank you so much! Also, the audio guide was easy and convenient to use. No headphone required and I liked that you use it just like your phone.

As for the exhibitions, the number of exhibits might not be the largest, but all of them are great, and they're put in different interesting themes (female Secession artists, contrast between the rich and the poor, the two sides of war...). The Klimt's collection was beautiful and Kiss was really magnificent, shining under the light. The Klimt rooms were not as crowded as I thought (of course it would be slightly crowded, after all Kiss is one of the most famous Austrian masterpieces). Everyone could have the chance to get close and look into his magnificent works.

Amazing place with masterpieces all around. We bought the tickets onsite and there wasn't a long queue. We bought tickets to the upper level and that too took a considerable amount of time to walk through. It's got very open rooms and I could stand in front of the famous paintings for a long time without it getting crowded. A must place to visit again and again.

*Note, I didn’t go into the Museum. This is about the gardens. I didn’t feel like going to see “The Kiss” which is the main reason you go to this Museum.

The gardens are absolutely spectacular. All three levels of them. The bottom level is fun to kind of walk through the hedges and find a little spots. Some of them have sculptures and some of them just have park benches but you don’t know till you enter. The two main fountains are beautiful and super picturesque one side you can see the beautiful palace on the other side you can see Vienna making both sides beautiful in different ways. You can easy spend a good 2 hours just walking and enjoying the gardens
