Upper Belvedere Palace

What to expect Begin inside a Baroque masterpiece once built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy. Move through grand staircases and ornate halls as centuries of European art unfold room by room. The palace setting itself becomes part of the experience, blending architecture with masterpieces.

Features

• Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss: See Austria’s most celebrated painting displayed in its dedicated gallery space.

• Permanent collection: Trace art history from medieval altarpieces to works by Van Gogh, Monet, and Schiele.

• State rooms: Admire marble halls, gilded ceilings, and historic interiors that frame the artworks.

The Museum of Contemporary Art

What to expect Shift from imperial elegance to sleek modernism inside this post-war architectural icon. Open spaces and glass walls set the tone as you explore rotating exhibitions of Austrian and international contemporary art. The atmosphere feels experimental, dynamic, and refreshingly different from the palace experience.
