Must see attraction. It takes a half day to visit both buildings, the botanical garden and the royal gardens. Beautiful building. Wear comfortable shoes, there's a lot of walking to do. Inside the palace, there's a store where you can buy water and sodas, and there's also an ice cream cart. In summer, it gets pretty hot.

The garden itself if amazing. Though the lower complex houses some modern and older art, it is nothing like it's upper counterpart. Research more before you buy the two building admission. Highly recommend walking the garden for free.

I have to admit that I know almost next to nothing about Vienna before arriving. Only the stereotype of the waltz, the Sound of Music and the alps which seems more fitting of Salzburg than Vienna. But a chanced inflight movie on one of my other adventures showcased Vienna, in particular the Belvedere Palace and it’s largest collection of art by Gustav Klimt including the subject of the film, the Lady in Gold.
The first I have ever heard of the Belvedere Palace or one of its best known artist Gustav Klimt is in the movie Woman in Gold, a story of Gustav Klimt’s most authoritative work in his golden phase, its subject and the pain of war. I was intrigued by the story and that’s where I learned about the Belvedere, where the Klimt’s work, the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I was displayed under the name The Lady in Gold.
The painting had been confiscated during the Nazi occupation of Austria. Maria Altmann, Adele’s niece later fought for the restitution of the painting which sparked a legal battle for the painting. Today, the portrait no longer hangs on the wall of the Belvedere, but instead the collection focuses on Klimt’s other works, including The Kiss.
Vienna’s stunning baroque landmark is divided into two sections, the
Upper Belvedere and the Lower Belvedere. It’s divided by an extensive garden that is decorated with statues and crowned with cascading fountains.
From the Lower to Upper Belvedere, statues and sculptures lined up the path. The statues depict musicians and minstrels, which is apt for a city of Vienna. Stand close enough to the statue and you might actually hear a ballad that used to ring within these gardens once upon time.
The gardens is actually quite a great place for runners and there were quite a few on the day i visited. It’s also a great place to take romantic walks, with the hedges providing secluded spots to enjoy the garden.
The Belvedere was first constructed as Prince Eugene of Savoy’s summer residence. After his death, his heir converted it into a museum but the collection was later transferred to the Kunsthistorisches Museum. It later became the residence of the heir to the Austrian throne Franz Ferdinand, if you remember is the guy who got assissanced and sparked the global world war. Today, it’s back to became an art museum, and the entire site is also a @UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It didn’t cost me any money to walk the gardens, but entrance into the museums do require a ticket, which you can buy on site. If you buy the combined ticket for Upper and Lower Belvedere together online, it only cost EUR20.

The whole complex park and the Belvedere Palace are magnificent. Recommended to visit. Entry to the garden is for free.
