Pro tips to help you make a pick

Wear comfortable shoes: The Belvedere Palace is a large complex, with over three buildings to explore, the Upper and Lower Belvedere complex and the Belvedere 21 Museum. Wear closed, comfortable shoes to ensure you can comfortably navigate the grounds and enjoy your visit. Avoid heels as they will dig right into the gardens!

Respect photography policies: While photography is generally allowed in the public areas of the Belvedere Palace, there may be restrictions in certain exhibition rooms or special collections. Avoid using flash or obstructing pathways with tripods and camera gear.

Visit during off-peak hours: To avoid crowds and enjoy a more relaxed visit, consider visiting the Belvedere Palace complex during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late afternoon during weekdays. This allows you to explore the exhibits and gardens more easily and tranquility.

Check for special exhibitions: Before your visit, check the Belvedere Palace website for any special exhibitions, events, or temporary closures that may coincide with the day of your visit. This can help you plan accordingly and ensure you don't miss out on any attractions during your time at the palace.

Visit the gardens: The Belvedere Gardens are a highlight of the palace complex, offering beautiful sculptures and fountains. Take some time to wander through the gardens, relax on a bench, and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

Did you know?

The ‘Battle of the Kiss’: During World War II, most of the valuable artworks from the Belvedere collection, including Gustav Klimt's iconic painting ‘The Kiss,’ were evacuated to prevent them from being damaged or stolen by Nazi forces. This daring rescue mission, known as the ‘Battle of the Kiss,’ involved transporting the artworks to various hiding places throughout Austria.

Historic events: Over the centuries, the Belvedere Palace has been the setting for numerous diplomatic gatherings. It has hosted visits from emperors, kings, and other dignitaries, as well as lavish balls, receptions, and cultural celebrations. Today, the palace serves as a venue for prestigious events and exhibitions, maintaining its status as a cultural hub in Vienna.

Home to cultural institutions: The Belvedere Palace complex is home to several cultural institutions, including the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, which houses an extensive collection of Austrian art, ranging from medieval masterpieces to contemporary works. The palace also hosts concerts, lectures, and educational programs, further enriching Vienna's cultural landscape.

UNESCO World Heritage Site: In 2001, the Belvedere Palace complex was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its outstanding universal value as a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and art. The inscription highlights the palace's significance as a symbol of artistic achievement and cultural heritage.

Commissioned by Prince Eugene of Savoy: Prince Eugene played a crucial role in the Habsburg Empire's military victories against the Ottoman Empire and France, and he used his wealth to commission the construction of the Belvedere as a lavish summer residence and showcase his art collection.

We arrived at Belvedere unprepared and weren't aware that tickets were sold for specific time slots. There was a fairly long line of people at the ticket counter, and a man had just come out and told his family that he hadn’t been able to get tickets for Upper Belvedere (for a specific time slot, I think), so he had opted for tickets to Lower Belvedere instead. I then checked online and, within a few minutes, managed to get tickets for Upper Belvedere for an earlier time slot—one that was already sold out at the ticket counter. Well done!

Four of us went to the Upper Belvedere Palace. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation, but we had to wait half an hour to be let in. The interior was quite beautiful; the "Kiss" painting and the portrait of Napoleon were especially magnificent.

It worked out great. No lines at the ticket counter. We were able to walk right in. We got there first thing in the morning—it’s naturally less crowded then—but that just meant we could enjoy the Ferris wheel all to ourselves. All we had to do was hold up our phone with the code as we entered, and we were in. The Ferris wheel is one of many landmarks and is definitely worth a visit. It worked out great with Headout.

We spent three days in Vienna, and the Vienna Pass was a great choice! It made it so easy to use the hop-on, hop-off buses, which run every 20 minutes from strategically located stops. Admission to almost all attractions is included in the Vienna Pass. St. Stephen’s Cathedral isn’t included, but it was so crowded that we only toured the cathedral’s ship, without a guided tour of the catacombs...etc... Thanks to the Vienna Pass, we got in very quickly at every attraction. Over the three days, we each saved around 90 euros. It was definitely worth it.

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.

Unlock Belvedere Palace Dex

Selected Belvedere Palace admission tickets booked through Headout unlock the complete Belvedere Palace Dex experience at no additional cost. It is not available as a standalone purchase or with tickets bought elsewhere.

After booking:

  • Download the Dex app.
  • Sign in with your Headout details.
