The Kiss
The Belvedere Palace is located at 27 Prinz-Eugen-Strabe, 1030 Wien, and is open daily from 1000-1800. You can take Tram D from Wien train station to Schloss Belvedere stop.
The Belvedere is a historic building complex in Vienna, Austria, consisting of two Baroque palaces: Upper Belvedere and Lower Belvedere. The Baroque Gardens of the Belvedere rank among the most beautiful in Austria. It is situated in between the Lower and Upper Belvedere.
The Sala Terrena, the grand staircase and the Marble Hall are three architectural highlights you can't miss when you go inside.
The Upper Belvedere houses the impressive collection of Austrian art dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. The most famous collection is "The Kiss", an oil-on-canvas painting with added golden leaf, silver and platinum by the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt.
Buying tickets online is more worth it, and you need to reserve a time slot to enter Upper Belvedere.

From Day to night at Belvedere Palace ☀️🌚
Located in beautiful Vienna (Austria) definitely one of the must visit places! 💯
I took a long walk from Vienna City Center and enjoy the whole walk. Walking here is lovely as the Belvedere is located on a small slope over the city and while climbing up you will go through some impressive gardens with a large pond in which you could see a reflection of the sky and the palace. (As shown in my cover photo)
The Belvedere Palace is one of the best examples of baroque architecture in Europe which also serve as a museum.
If you’re a Artsy person, and asking if it’s worth visiting:
The Belvedere is not only a magnificent Baroque palace but also houses one of Austria's most valuable art collections – with key works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka.

Belvedere Museum Vienna
The Belvedere is not only a magnificent Baroque palace but also houses one of Austria's most valuable art collections – with key works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka.
Klimt's "The Kiss" in particular is world-famous. The 180 x 180 cm painting was created in 1908/09 and shows Klimt and his friend Emilie Flöge as a couple in love. "The Kiss" is probably Austria's most famous work of art. Klimt's portraits of women also impress and be marveled at in the Upper Belvedere.
If you love art collection, it is definitely worth to see it. Personally, I really enjoyed the time spent here, especially with friends. Talking about art and taking pictures.

A one day trip to Vienna
we set out for a day trip to Vienna with my sister we arrived late in a Saturday evening, went to bed straight away, and woke up early in the morning to have time to cover everything we wanted. The hotel was right next to the station, so the trip from the airport took less than an hour all together, and was close to the city centre too. We went to see the orthodox church, had a breakfast in a bakery, spent a few hours in the Belvedere palace to see The Kiss by Klimt then had lunch, went to see Chagall exhibition at the Albertina (excellently organised btw), had another patisserie break, and then rushed to the Freud museum shop (we wouldnt'thave time for the museum itself). Had schnitzel for dinner, and walked back to the city centre for the string quartet concert, now writing this review from the airport. We could have done with more time, but we saw everything we wanted, and had an excellent one day weekend break; really recommend it.##vienna #klimt 🕰️Business Hours:📍Address:

Gustav Klimt’s iconic painting “The Kiss”
Gustav Klimt’s iconic painting “The Kiss” is displayed at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna. Adorned with golden details and elegant touches, this masterpiece is one of the most beautiful symbols of love and passion. Be sure to visit the Belvedere to see one of the most captivating works in art history! ✨ #TheKiss #GustavKlimt #BelvedereMuseum

Wien Austria Travel Exhibition Vienna Belvedere Palace.
Vienna is really a city with a strong artistic atmosphere. If you don't go to an art gallery, you will feel that you have lost this trip.
Belvedere Palace buys tickets every day in time, and buys tickets at 4 pm. There will be fewer people (not much less)
The white stairs at the entrance are very good
If you encounter the sun, it will shine like a goddess✨
Compared to "Kiss", I actually prefer "Hug"
If Klimt's love is a gentle and long-lasting tenderness
Then Schiele's love is a passionate passion
The gold foil elements of "Judith" are kneaded into the painting, highlighting the elegance, affinity, and tension of women
Finally, I took a group photo and watched a "falling leaves" 🍂 point coloring technique that really made me unable to move my feet
In addition, the gardens, courtyards, and Baroque buildings of the Belvedere Palace are all suitable for punching cards

A City Tour of Vienna
A city tour of Vienna offers an elegant and unique experience where you can deeply appreciate Europe's history and art. Landmarks such as St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Vienna State Opera are easily accessible on foot. At the Belvedere Palace and Museum, you can admire world-renowned artworks. Additionally, enjoying traditional coffee at a vintage café to soak in Vienna's unique charm is a must-do and highly recommended.
Reisetante
Vienna is not sad.
Vienna is the most exquisite city I have visited so far. The city is like a white swan with carefully combed feathers, raising its neck and slowly sliding on the lake, waiting for the audience to appreciate it.
Most of the buildings here are white neoclassical style, unlike the gray and black of Budapest, it seems to have done a noble spa maintenance, and there are no traces of the years. The streets are also clean, and most of the time you can only see golden fallen leaves.
If any city has the most elegant culture, it is undoubtedly Vienna. Zweig also said this in "Yesterday's World". In a very small space, a large number of high arts galleries and museums are densely gathered. Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace, Museum of Art History, Golden Hall, Opera House, everyone in the city regards elegant art as life.
In addition to art, there are luxury brands. The luxury goods stores here are not like the huge logos and transparent glass walls in domestic large department stores. Its luxury is packaged in a neoclassical skin with white inlays of Olympus twelve gods. Vienna is also the place where I saw the most densely dressed luxury goods on the bus.
Viennese people like desserts, and there are dessert shops and cafes every few steps. Through the bright windows, you can see three or five friends or a family chatting while drinking coffee. Swiss, Italian, Romanian chocolate shops, one after another.

Belvedere Palace is the gem in the art world

Address
Prinz-Eugen-Strasse 27, Vienna 1030 Austria
Neighborhood: Landstraße
Admission tickets: from 20$
There are two different well preserved buildings; the Lower Belvedere and the Upper Belvedere separated by a park with fountains. The Lower has beautiful rooms including one golden Chinese decorated and some exhibitions. The Upper is bigger with a magnificent staircase. The collection has a lot of Klimt (including the famous Kiss) and Egon Schiele artworks. Also to be found Monet, Van Gogh, Munch, Cranach to name a few. The painted ceilings were also fabulous to look at.
But while the quality of the art is debateable, the ludicrous crowds you'll encounter around the few standout pieces are objectively awful.

The Kiss in Belvedere museum
#museums
We visited Belvedere museum mainly to see the 'The Kiss' by Klimt.
We brought a ticket for the upper and lower levels which cost €20 per adult.
There was plenty of exhibits, and the main being the “The Kiss" by Klimt.
There is a selfie point in the entrance hall for you to take a selfie with a kiss portrait.
However, for the rest of the museum there was no photography allowed inside. Having said that, if you are a young attractive female, then you could get away with taking photos inside the museum, as the staff just stood by and watched and did nothing. If you wasn't a young attractive female though and tried to take photos they would walk up to you and tell you that photography is not allowed.
The gardens themselves are not much to look at. Not kept well, grass was very dry and dying, as were the few flowers we saw and plenty of weeds everywhere. Nothing compared to the colourful gardens at Schonbrunn.
There is a small cafe restaurant in the Upper belvedere which was very reasonable priced for where it was and did some great cakes and food.

Schönbrunn Palace Christmas markets, Vienna
#christmastrip
#christmastrip #freehotelstay
As you might expect from stately Vienna, its Christmas markets tend to err on the grandiose side.
From the boutique jewellery and ceramics stalls that cluster in the Baroque shadow of Belvedere Palace, to the imperial pomp of the Schönbrunn Palace, which captures the senses with its jazz concerts, gallons of spiced weihnachtspunsch (a local take on glühwein) and some 80 stalls huddled under the auspices of the Habsburg’s former summer retreat - the city of Mozart hits all the right notes.
Market dates: 17 November to 23 December 2023 at Belvedere Palace and 18 November 2023 to 4 January 2024 at Schönbrunn Palace.

Visit the Belvedere palace for art
On my recent trip to Vienna, I went to the belvedere palace to admire the stunning art work. It used to be a palace for crown princes but now serves as an art gallery that houses Gustav Klimt's The Kiss.
There is an entry fee to visit the gallery, but visitors may wander round the gardens for free. It is conveniently located in the city centre near Karlsplatz.

Scenic Beauty Palace - a historic complex of buildings
Vienna's most famous is Schönbrunn Palace, but photography is not allowed there, so I chose Belvedere Palace because photography is allowed inside. Buying tickets online was so convenient, as the queue for buying tickets on site was too long, while there was no one in the online channel, and I walked in smoothly. This was the fastest time I have ever bought tickets for a tourist attraction in Europe.
The Schönbrunn Palace is a historic complex of buildings, divided into upper and lower palaces with a garden in between. It is a Baroque-style power supply, formerly the summer residence of Prince Eugene, and now the Austrian National Museum of Art, one of the world's most important museums of art collections. The lower palace is a museum of medieval and Baroque art.

A Palace from Which to See Beauty
Belvedere means 'a place from which to see beauty', and it did not disappoint. Visiting the Belvedere Palace is an unforgettable experience.
The palace, which was once the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, is home to an art museum featuring works by Monet, Klimt, and many other famous artists. The palace gardens are also a must-see, with stunning views of the City of Vienna. 🇦🇹 #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip
