All excellent. No hiccups other than the fiscality of access in adhering to the exact time of the attendants sending us back to the back of the line at 4:55 pm. It is true that the booked time was x 5 pm but the intransigence was not so taxing when the notices of impending closure started at 5:40 pm.

We did not have an audio guide in French.... as provided in the booking...so it's hard to say we liked it except for the gardens...

The range of art on show, the organisation of the display, including the information panels about the original use of the Palace rooms. The only negative was the size of font on the panels giving info on each painting. For those with glasses it was tricky to read some without leaning over the security rope.

I visited the Upper Belvedere Palace. It's a magnificent palace, the interior is a must-see (sublime architecture and very interesting works) and the gardens are also very pleasant. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Vienna. However, some of the people at the reception desk were not at all pleasant.

Your experience

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Belvedere Palace is also the site of the Austrian State Treaty. Consisting of two palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, and extensive gardens the unique complex is one of the world's most supreme specimens of a Baroque architectural ensemble.

The Upper Belvedere

For an artistic retreat, the Upper Belvedere is the perfect getaway! The Upper Belvedere is one of the most prominent museums across the globe, with famous art collections dating back to the Middle Ages. Highlights include the world's largest collection of Gustav Klimt paintings (including The Kiss and Judith), famous works from the periods of Austrian Baroque, French Impressionism, Viennese Biedermeier, and from Vienna around 1900. You can also admire works by Austrian artists like Rueland Frueauf the Elder, Elena Luksch-Makowsky, and Helene Funke, apart from international artists like Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Auguste Rodin.

The Lower Belvedere

Calling all history lovers, the Lower Belvedere is a treasure trove that will take you back in time! Located in Vienna, the majestic Lower Belvedere Palace is a magnificent 18th-century structure that now serves as an exhibition center. Focusing on Austrian artists within an international context and showcasing pivotal works of Western art history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was originally built for the diplomat and collector Prince Eugene of Savoy to admire his exceptional Baroque architecture collection. Opt for the direct entry ticket to either Upper or Lower Belvedere Palace, to save time and choose what you'd like to see.
