Belvedere Palace Highlights
The Upper Belvedere is where you’ll find the world-famous painting The Kiss by Klimt — one of the most photographed artworks in Europe. The palace displays masterpieces from Austria’s greatest artists and offers stunning views over Vienna. Once a royal space with high vaulted ceilings, marble staircases, and rooms that once hosted royal events, it’s now one of the oldest public art museums in the world.
Step into Lower Belvedere, the home of Prince Eugene and see how royals lived in the 1700s. Here, you’ll walk through gold-covered rooms, royal state apartments, marble-lined halls, and beautifully preserved interiors. It connects to the Orangery and Palace Stables, forming a complete exhibition space and hosts rotating exhibitions, so there’s always something new to see each time you visit.
Sleek, sharp, and modern — Belvedere 21 is a complete contrast to the two baroque palaces. This steel-and-glass structure focuses on contemporary art. The building was originally designed for the 1958 World Expo and now hosts contemporary Austrian and international art, along with installations, sculptures, and short films. It also includes a small cinema and an outdoor sculpture garden.
The Belvedere Orangery, once used to protect citrus trees during Vienna’s cold winters, has been transformed into a striking exhibition space. With its minimalist white interiors and long, light-filled halls, it provides the perfect contrast to the ornate Baroque rooms. It’s often used for contemporary exhibits, and its quiet and spacious area makes it a peaceful stop in your palace journey.
The Belvedere Palace Gardens are a masterpiece of French formal design, laid out in symmetrical patterns and divided into three grand terraces connecting the Upper and Lower Belvedere. As you stroll along the manicured lawns, gravel paths, and fountains, you’ll see waterfalls, mythological statues, and rows of sculpted hedges. Don’t miss the reflective pools — they perfectly mirror the the Upper Belvedere.
The Exhibitions at Belvedere covers over 800 years of art, from medieval religious art and Austrian Baroque paintings to 19th-century realism, Impressionism, and modern works. You’ll see art by Klimt, Schiele, Monet, and more, all under one roof. Many famous pieces by French, German, and Austrian artists are also on display, and special exhibitions change throughout the year, offering something new on each visit.
