Bypass long entry queues and experience the Upper Belvedere Palace in a small, intimate group, enjoying Klimt’s masterpieces, the Baroque grandeur, and the Habsburgs’ royal history without the crowds.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the palace entrance on Prinz-Eugen-Straße, where you’ll skip the lines and begin your journey inside without waiting.

Inside the Upper Belvedere

Step into the grand Baroque halls, where gilded ceilings, ornate furniture, and sculptural details showcase centuries of Habsburg luxury. Your small group gives you the freedom to pause and admire Klimt’s masterpieces up close, including The Kiss and Judith, while your guide explains the personal stories, symbolism, and historical context behind each work. Move comfortably from room to room, ask questions as they arise, and enjoy the pace that suits your group, whether lingering over a favorite painting or exploring the lavish state rooms.

Crown Prince Garden

After exploring the palace interiors, step into the Crown Prince Garden, a tranquil retreat that once hosted the leisure of imperial Vienna. Your guide will point out the ornamental fountains, manicured lawns, and hidden corners, weaving in little-known tales of how young princes and princesses were taught etiquette and grace among these grounds. With fewer crowds around, your group can stroll freely, soak in the atmosphere, and share the experience with fellow travelers, imagining the elegance of Habsburg life beyond the palace walls.

What to bring

Wear comfortable shoes, since you’ll be walking across marble floors and through expansive halls.

Carry a lightweight bag or backpack, as large bags must be stored in the cloakroom.

The palace can get chilly inside, even in summer, so bring a light sweater or jacket for comfort while walking through the halls.

Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated, especially if you plan to spend time in the Crown Prince Garden.

What’s not allowed

Flash photography and tripods are not allowed inside the palace, as they can damage artworks and disrupt other visitors.

Do not bring large bags, suitcases, or bulky items inside; store them in the cloakroom.

Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the palace and gardens.

Eating and drinking are not permitted in the galleries or state rooms.

Accessibility

The Upper Belvedere Palace offers step-free access and ramps to key galleries, including the Marble Hall and the main exhibition rooms. Elevators are available to help visitors reach different floors comfortably.

Wheelchair users can navigate most public areas, and seating is provided in certain rooms and along the garden paths. However, the Crown Prince Garden has uneven paths and gravel sections, so walking sticks or strollers may require extra caution.

Accessible restrooms are available within the palace grounds for convenience.

Service dogs are permitted, and staff are trained to assist visitors with mobility or other accessibility needs.

Additional information

Meet your guide in front of the palace entrance on Prinz-Eugen-Straße at least 10 to 15 minutes before your tour begins.

Arrive early, right at opening at 10am, or later in the afternoon around 4pm, if you prefer quieter galleries, as midday tends to be busier even with skip-the-line entry.

Public restrooms are available near the entrance and in the garden, but facilities inside the main exhibition halls are limited.

Seating is limited in some halls, so take advantage of benches in the Marble Hall and exhibition rooms to rest while admiring the art.

Seasonal exhibitions in the Upper Belvedere change frequently, so check the current schedule to catch temporary displays alongside the permanent collection.
