The Belvedere is one of the world’s most beautiful and important museums and one of Vienna’s most visited sights. Originally located in the vineyards outside the Imperial City, the two Belvedere palaces, which are connected by a unique baroque garden, were built as Prince Eugene of Savoy’s summer residence. The Upper Belvedere – built between 1717 and 1723 – rises above the surrounding area at the top of a hill, providing a magnificent view of Vienna. At the lower end of the extensive, gently sloping park, lies the Lower Belvedere, built between 1714 and 1716. Built for Prince Eugene of Savoy’s private use, the preserved staterooms reflect the baroque splendour and savoir vivre.

Highlights

  • Following comprehensive adaptation work, the Lower Belvedere has hosted high-profile temporary exhibitions since 2007.
  • The preserved state rooms, such as the Marble Hall, the Marble Gallery, the Gold Cabinet, orangery and ornate stables speak of baroque splendour and savoir vivre.

Did you know:

  • - …that the name Belvedere, meaning “beautiful view”, goes back to the times of Empress Maria Theresa, who acquired the property soon after Prince Eugene’s death and after the famous painter of vedute (highly detailed landscapes) Bernardo Bellotto immortalised the view in a large-scale painting in the 18th century, it became known as “Belvedere view”?
  • - …the Austrian State Treaty was signed by the representatives of the Allied occupying powers and the Austrian government at Belvedere on 15 May 1955?

Suggestion

Please present your PASS directly at the entrance to the showrooms! You do not have to queue at the box office.
