Itinerary

The Belvedere is recognized as one of the most stunning and significant museums globally, and it ranks among the most frequented attractions in Vienna. This popularity is primarily attributed to the fact that the Belvedere Palace houses the largest collection of Klimt's works in the world. Visitors can admire a total of 24 pieces by the renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, including the iconic "Kiss". Originally located amidst vineyards at the entrance of the imperial city, the two Belvedere palaces, linked by a distinctive Baroque garden, were constructed as a summer residence for their creator, Prince Eugene of Savoy.

The Upper Belvedere, which was built between 1717 and 1723, stands prominently on a hill, providing a captivating view of Vienna. Additionally, the Belvedere was one of the earliest public museums and was the venue for the signing of the Austrian State Treaty in 1955. Visitors can explore the museum (1h30min) without waiting in line at the ticket office, experience the historic marble hall, and view renowned works by celebrated artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, and many others, while also admiring "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt or "Napoleon" by Jacques-Louis David.
