Since we had been in enough palaces for a while, we walked the gardens and the grounds. It is breathtaking. I could easily spend 2 hours just walking the grounds. The tourists taking photos with their hands on the statues' breasts got a little old, but I guess that is how some people act. It got in the way of... More

It is easy to be disappointed by Belvedere Palace unless you know what to expect. First, it is a Museum and the art exhibits are excellent. Second, it is a Palace tour, with some amazing architecture. However, only 1-2 rooms are "in period" fully decorated. The grounds are very impressive, but were unkept in contrast (weeds, fountains not working,act) to... More

The bad news about the Belvedere is that it is difficult to get in to (entrances are half way down Rennweg and Prinz-eugen-st), it is expensive (€19 = US$25 and that's before you pay €5 for a coffee) and if it is a hot day - and it was 36C when we were there - you have to cross a... More

I was really looking forward to visiting this place, as I've always been impressed by Klimt's art, and never got a chance to see any of his paintings for real. Well, the ones at the Belvedere are truely amazing (as I expected), but I thought the collection was a bit small… though it's good when you don't want to spend... More

The palace, gardens and art the collection are beautiful, but the real attraction it the room with the main Klimt pictures. One of the most amazing thins i have seen.

Wonderful art - the Klimts in the flesh are a revelation. Heaving with visitors, suffers from poor lighting of many pictures.

The Belvedere park and the two palaces are certainly worth a visit. The park and the palaces are of course smaller than the Schonbrunn castle, but I found them much nicer. The visit to the gardens is free, but be sure to buy a ticket for the upper Belvedere and check out the famous art collection, including some of the... More

We visited the Belvedere Museum mainly to see the exhibition of Klimt's work, and were not disappointed. Their collection is spectacular, especially his most famous painting, "The Kiss", which is displayed in a very dramatic setting. There are many other works of art there which we enjoyed as well, and we spent a lovely morning at the museum.
