If you like Klimt you'll love this palace and museum. The buildings are stunning and the grounds are also fantastic.

The Belvedere Palace is really 2 palaces on the same grounds. Start at the Lower and move up to the Upper Belvedere. The gardens are beautiful and it's a pleasant walk up. They also have a great cafe on the grounds where you can enjoy a good Stiegl Radler after seeing Gustav Klimt's Kiss

This is a must go place. The museum itself is almost very beautiful. There is a marvelous view from the entrance. Klimt is one of my favorite artists. His The Kiss is masterpiece. I got frozen. By the way, there is a very nice gift shop and restaurant over there.

We got tickets for both the upper and lower house. The oberes contains the impressionist works including Klimt and this was the highlight for us. Although it seems that most people are there just to see "the kiss", Klimt's other works are amazing if not better. I was quite surprised at his different styles so if you have the chance... More

It is a must see place when visiting Vienna. The permanent collection offers some of the masterpieces of art. The palace in itself is great along with the surrounding gardens. Definitely it is a must see museum well balanced and not tiring like the bigger ones.

Good collection of artwork inside, but what impressed me was the gardens at the back, which is a pleasant walk around, and a nice place to rest a bit and grab a bite.

What remains of the 18th century interiors is gorgeous. Amazing Klimt collection. Medieval art is also very interesting, but not really enhanced by the baroque setting.

Seriously wow! Amazingly beautiful place, the gardens are amazing and the exhibitions + the interior of both lower and upper Belvederes are breathtaking. Highly recommended to spend half a day there :)

The Belvedere certainly feels palatial, with two enormous complexes built on upper and lower terraces that are separated by long formal gardens. It's nice to just wander around although the view of the city has become a little ugly and industrialized. The museum is not very well organized or particularly interesting but it is still worth visiting for their fantastic... More

Well worth the trip to see all parts of the Belvedere. Only one issue was that we could not understand why the gardens were full of weeds and very few flowers. The contents of both parts of the museum were very interesting. Of course, do not miss the Klimpts.
