    Upper Belvedere is the other part of gallery where you can experience modern art collection set in the interiors of this beautiful palace. The entrance fee is the same as in the other part of Belvedere. In front of the palace and almost along the whole park there are statues of sphinxs.

    My favourite painting by the greatest painter ever - Gustav Klimt. His most famous painting is 'The Kiss'. I consider the subject of this painting , the wife of a businessman during Klimt's time as the most beautiful woman of all time.The painting can be found in Vienna's Belvedere museum.'The Kiss' is also in the same museum.

    A palace built by a victorious warlord, Prince Eugene of Savoy. Later owned by the unfortunate Archduke Francis Ferdinand. The gardens looking towards the central part of Vienna look lovely, but nothing was in bloom because we were there in mid-October.

    Passing through the lovely wrought-iron south gates the visitor can see the elegant façade of the Upper Belvedere palace mirrored in a large pool of water where small gondolas used to float. The staircase rising out of entrance hall carries military trophies and scenes from the life of Alexander the Great. In the Marble Hall on the first floor the Austrian State Treaty was signed in 1955, giving the country her independence again after the Allied occupation. There is a chapel in the south-east pavilion. Osterreichishe Galerie Des 19 und Jarhundts (Austrian Gallery if the 19th and 20th centuries) is the museum to head for if you want to see the highlights of Viennese painting. The are rooms full of works by Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka, van Gough and many other famous artists. Use the same ticket to enter the Lower Belvedere, which contains the Baroque Museum’s collection of sculptures.

    HISTORISCHES MUSEUM DER STADT WIEN (Historical Museum of the City of Vienna) The Vienna’s history is told through a wide variety of artifacts and works of art. Ground floor tells the story of this area from Neolithic to Roman to medieval times. On the 1st floor are panoramic views of Vienna; battle scenes from the Turkish wars and number of portraits. The second floor (19th – 20th centuries) has fascinating Napoleonic era salon decorated in the “Pompean” style. Two large wooden models show what Vienna looked like before and after the Ring was built. Klimt, Kokoshka, Schiele, Gerstl, Moll and others represent Austrian art. Admission free on Fr 9 am – 12 noon.

    Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663 - 1736), the most brilliant military mind of his age, commissioned Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt to design and build the garden palace Belvedere as a summer residence outside the walls of the city. The palace, one of the most exquisite Baroque structures in the world, consists of two palaces (Upper and Lower Belvedere). Unfortunately I was in the city in not good time (December 30-31), and I was there in evening only.

    There are two museums or galleries better said :) in Belvedere. Down the park in Prince Eugen palace there is a part of baroque art situated in this building. The entrance is around 7 Euro but if you come October 26 it is only 3 Euro.

    Check out the Belvedere Gallerie. The works of Gustav Klimt, among many others are in there, it's well worth the visit. When you buy the ticket, you can also go see the other facilities they have (total of 3: Oberes Belvedere, Unteres Belvedere, and Gustinus Ambrosi-Museum). Entrance fee at the time: 7,5 Euros for an adult. It is located at: Prinz Eugen Strasse 27 No pictures allowed, even without the flash... =(

    As probably everyone knows...Vienna is full of beautiful monumental buildings such as the castle of BELVEDERE (picture) and the castle of HOFSBURG (second picture down the page). In the old town, the cathedral of St.Stephan is also very beautiful. Actually the whole area downtown is holding so many historical buildings...that it would be a must to do a walking tour (forget about driving). Outside the city center, towards east, you may have a glimpse of the old Danube river, the Prater (old entertainment place) and the very ugly 'international organizations area' with absolutely 'discusting' skyscrapers.

    explore the grounds and garden of the famed Belvedere Palace - Prince Eugene of Savoy's palatial residence. Yes, this Baroque era Palace and its amazing combination of royal apartments, gardens AND art galleries is a must-see when visiting Vienna. Grab your cameras now and strike your best poses!! :-)) Oh, and please note it's opening hours too (very important!): Open: Tuesdays through Sundays; from 10:00AM - 05:00PM.
