- Artyom FedosovJuly 28, 2016Beautiful palace with fountains and garden in front of it. Baroque architecture masterpiece, it reminds me french Versailles and russian Peterhof. Check the gallery inside, it's amazing too.

Serhii LutskoJuly 4, 2017Klimt, Rodin, Van Gogh. This place doesn't have too many famous pictures but it has some so definitely worth to visit by people who love art. The park between the upper and the lower buildings is nice
Javier Perlado UserosMay 2, 2018Beautiful 2 palaces with a good art collection and pretty gardens. Too expensive if dont have a Viena's pass.
Gandom SedehiAugust 23, 2018It was a beautiful palace i adored the Gustav Klimt collection in upper belvedere😍👍🏼
Λιάς ΑνδρέαςJanuary 5, 2016A very interesting museum with very interesting exhibitions! It takes us to see all of them 2 days!Don't forget to ask about the special offers on the tickets! Also you must take map for the Lower Bel
Christine LoJanuary 23, 2016One of the best museums in the world as extravagant as Chateau de Versailles but with a beautiful, rich collection of Klimt. Current graphic design exhibition of Hans Bischoffhaussen is excellent.
Katerina KuvMarch 31, 2015Gustav Klimt, upper and lower Belvedere, orangery, so many paintings, beautiful art, interesting excursion, take a trip in the garden and see a lake
ElenaApril 29, 2016Nice place if you ve never visit Saint Petersburg's Peterhov in Russia. The fans of classic art would love it! For the impressionists - Albertina is much better. Gustav Klimt with "lovers" is amazing!
Shaun WestonOctober 21, 2016Right now, Ai Weiwei is showing off his excellent artistry in and around the small pond. Not sure what's inside, so will rate the gardens as a thumbs across.
Шурочка ЛукьяненкоJune 8, 2015Breathtaking museum with the most beautiful picture by Klimt "The Kiss". Wonderful view on the park and Vienna. Totally worth to visit!
- Ferhat DurannnDecember 16, 2014Century Art at the Upper Belvedere 1924 and the Modern Gallery at the Orangery1929The Belvedere’s collection of medieval art was first exhibited at the Orangery next to the Lower Belvedere in 1953.
Fairil YeoJanuary 17, 2016An absolute joy to go to. You'd need a full day - remember that there's upper and lower levels and tickets need to be purchased for both.
Simone P.October 6, 2014Wonderful castle with amazing garden (outside) & great Klimt's collection (inside)... :) Even if the best room is the Messerschmidt's one, just Amazing!!! :)
Bodza PolonyiFebruary 12, 2018Entrance is free under the age of 19, otherwise its 25€ for an adult. But totally worth it, amazing paintings and a good café it has.
Zeynep AkalinSeptember 2, 2013One of the best museums to view Gustav Klimt's paintings. Also the gardens are amazing, best to go there on spring or summer.
- Jonathan PevarnekSeptember 12, 2016Art museum in a gorgeous building with a great collection of both Austrian and foreign art. I enjoyed their collection of impressionist art.
Mina NmvrJuly 16, 2018A very nice place to spend a few hours. Amazing paintings by Gustav Klimt and one of Van Gogh’s
- Berkan SireAugust 20, 2014Must see Gustav Klimt's painting "The Kiss" and other his works. And take a photo with the mirror! Walk around at Belvedere garden free.
Dhyani MargaDecember 22, 2014The ticket have time period. If you are too early just try go agead and queue sometimes they will just let you in even you are early. Go early so you can visit the garden. Too late too dark in winter
Aline SmedtsFebruary 8, 2014most exciting art collection I have ever seen, what even is the Louvre? So many surprising names and works, with a beautiful Klimt collection to top it all of!
RoryMay 2, 2018This is such a beautiful place. For the Upper Belvedere at least consider 3 hours to enjoy it properly. Close at 9 pm on Friday.
DiliaraSeptember 12, 2013I've stood for like half an hour staring at Klimt's "Kiss". All the collection of art gathered in this place impresses so much. And that fascinating view to Belvedere Garden from museum's windows!
iLKEApril 9, 2024Great art gallery with great paintings throughout centuries. Home of the great artist “Secession”
Margriet KegeleersJanuary 21, 2017Worth it to pay to go inside! The Kiss is magnificent, a lot of very beautiful rooms and paintings. Lovely building and gardens.
Edward RoozeboomMay 24, 2015Majestic place, it's huge, but crowded. It's a big museum, filled with art. I recommend to visit the gardens! The museum isn't really a big deal
Amaury JJune 7, 2017Even if you don't go inside for the Museum (I didn't), still go to appreciate the beautiful architecture.
Dorothy NgOctober 16, 2015Museum is really great! We bought combi-ticket to visit upper, lower belvedere and 21er Haus. Klimt and Schiele are the highlight! Too bad cant take photos
Danielle C.June 10, 2017Even without going inside, it is well worth a visit. The palace and gardens are beautiful.
- Julia KryvomazJanuary 4, 2018The main palace and the whole complex is amazing. Definitely must see in Vienna
Alex B.December 28, 2013Don't miss Emil Nolde's paintings in Lower Belvedere! A must see! Don't buy a combined ticket! If one day enough for you to see Klimt's & Nolde's masterpieces simultaneously, go shopping instead.
Rafael MarinDecember 28, 2019Impressive paintings from different styles and ages. Make sure to take plenty of time for the visit since it has several buildings.
Anna K.March 18, 2014Daily from 10am to 12am at Cafe Menagerie you can get the 'Klimt breakfast': ham, horseradish, cheese, cream cheese, grapes, nuts, olives, tomato, boiled egg, breadrolls, juice, cake.
Ouranique ZarnaveliJanuary 7, 2016A lot of paintings of famous artists. Here, you can see the famous "the kiss" by Klimt. Very expensive ticket price (25€) to visit the upper and the lower Belvedere palace.
ViennaInfoMarch 8, 2012See Gustav Klimt's legendary painting "The Kiss" as well as major works by Schiele and Kokoschka for yourself. You’ll be delighted by the magnificent ba-roque palace complex and its extensive gardens. Read more
sofie geoJuly 8, 2017A great selection of art pieces and paintings. Klimt and Schiele paintings cause some many beautiful emotions
Ана ЛековићAugust 11, 2018Free storage lockers (key, deposit 1€) by the toilets in basement. For first (secession) and second floor (Impressionism, realism, modern art) you need at least 1,5h.
Such a beautiful park! If you come to Vienna it's a must to go there!☺️
- Monica LrtMarch 21, 2015The Belvedere garden is a quite place to walk and to have a seat on a bench and admire the palace.
Cosmic GirlJanuary 11, 2016Must-see in Vienna. The exhibition "Klimt/Schiele/Kokoschka and the Women" was amazing!
Petros AOctober 30, 2015Nice palace! The gardens did look a bit unmaintained. The art exhibitions are great! Klimt's collection is the highlight!
Hop Hey LalaleyJanuary 1, 2016Must visit! You will definitely be amazed by building and garden themselves, no need to speak about gallery collection.
Alex SmithJune 6, 2018Massive selection of artwork and accompanying descriptions of the periods, styles and artists. This Kiss by Klimt was huge!

FlorAugust 11, 2020The most stupid online ticket system. You buy tickets online and still have to go to the ticket place to get them printed. They ask you to email the tickets since their scanning system is useless.
Meredith HullFebruary 11, 2015The Klimt room alone is worth the money! The rest of the Upper Belvedere exhibition is good, if a little confused, but well worth a visit
Gustav Klimt and many other artist's works, wonderful place for art lovers
