Experience Belvedere Palace with Dex
The Belvedere Palace Dex experience is an interactive self-guided tour available exclusively with selected Belvedere Palace admission tickets booked through Headout.
Put on your earphones and follow a story that unfolds across the Upper and Lower Belvedere and the gardens between them, connecting Klimt’s The Kiss and the Marble Hall with the sphinxes, ceilings, and garden terraces that most visitors cross without stopping. Historical and fictional characters lead you through stories of Prince Eugene of Savoy and the summer palace he built; Gustav Klimt and the golden paintings that made the collection famous; Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka; and the Baroque state rooms and the Austrian art that fills them today, accompanied by original music and immersive sound design.
How Dex guides you through the palace
- Dex uses your phone’s location to guide you along a recommended route covering the Upper Belvedere state rooms and Klimt galleries, the Marble Hall, the Baroque garden terraces, and the Lower Belvedere with its private apartments.
- As you reach each location, it automatically begins the story connected to what you are seeing.
- The route is only the starting point. When a painting, a statue, or a ceiling catches your attention, pause and ask your Dex guide a question.
- Photograph a supported painting, sculpture, or architectural detail to uncover more about it, open a related story, or return to the route when you are ready.
- Dex also points you towards recommended viewpoints, photo spots, and parts of the gardens and the Lower Belvedere that are easy to skip. You decide when to pause, where to go deeper, and when to continue.
How Dex differs from an audio guide and a group tour
An audio guide gives you a collection of prepared recordings. Dex builds those stories into a location-aware route, automatically connects them to what is around you, and lets you ask questions or investigate supported objects along the way.
A group tour gives you live interpretation from a human guide while following a scheduled departure, shared route, and group pace.
Dex offers a different experience: a structured tour that you can begin when you choose, pause whenever something interests you, and explore at your own pace. Choose Dex if you want the direction and storytelling of a guided visit with the freedom to explore the palace independently.
