Belvedere Museum and Palais

Vienna

Museums All Top Attractions Palaces Art Nouveau Vienna

The Belvedere Museum Vienna is more than just a palace. It’s a showcase of Austrian culture and art set in one of Europe’s finest Baroque landmarks. Built as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, this two-part complex, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, now houses a world-class collection spanning centuries. All just a short walk from the city center.
 

Why Visit the Upper Belvedere?

This is where you'll find Gustav Klimt’s legendary painting The Kiss. His shimmering gold-leaf style draws thousands each year, and it's just the beginning. The Upper Belvedere holds the largest Klimt collection on the planet, plus works by Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, and other titans of Austrian modernism.

Fans of European art will also find masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir. It's an unforgettable walk through Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism, all beneath grand frescoed ceilings.

Inside the Lower Belvedere

Step into Prince Eugene’s former home. Lavish staterooms, gilded walls, and elaborate stucco work reflect the full pomp of 18th-century aristocracy. This section hosts rotating exhibitions, both contemporary and historic, so there’s always something new to discover.
 

Don’t Miss the Palace Stables

Once home to the prince’s prized horses, these renovated stables now hold the museum’s collection of medieval art. From Gothic altarpieces to rare sculptures, it’s a lesser-known gem tucked away in the gardens.
