Belvedere Museum

Outstanding wrought-iron gates open into the Belvedere gardens. We skip the line to visit Vienna’s best baroque garden palace and see Klimt’s Kiss – embedded in the Austrian Gallery.

Jardines de Belvedere (Pass By)

On our way down, we decipher the three-leveled gardens and the play with visual tricks before we enter the Lower Belvedere.

Lower Belvedere (Pass By)

The garden room and the honor court make us understand what Prince Eugene brought to Vienna from Versailles – on a miniature scale though.

Heldendenkmal der Roten Armee (Pass By)

Schwarzenbergplatz is dominated by the Soviet Memorial and surrounded by a mix of buildings illustrating Vienna’s boom period at the end of the 1800 hundreds.

Karlskirche (Pass By)

Built to impress from a distance, this church sets the stage for Austria’s most glorious epoch in the 1700 hundreds. Baroque at it’s best.

Otto Wagner Pavillon Karlsplatz (Pass By)

Functional though elegant – the Otto Wagner metro-station at Karlsplatz represents another of Vienna’s moments of glory, the time around 1900, Art Nouveau!

Musikverein (Pass By)

The Wiener Musikverein (Viennese Music Association) is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. The "Great/Golden Hall" (Großer Saal), due to its highly regarded acoustics, is considered one of the finest concert halls in the world.

Secession Building (Secessionsgebaude)

The Secession Building is as an architectural manifesto for Art Nouveau. Built by a group of rebel artists seceding from the long-established fine art institution. Klimt painted the Beethoven Frieze for an exhibition in celebration of the composer. Meant for the exhibition only, the frieze was painted directly on the walls with light materials. It culminates in "a kiss to the world".

30 minutes

Naschmarkt (Pass By)

The Naschmarkt in its current, transitional stage dates to 1915 and is a mixture of a market and an international food experience. Perfect for a “al fresco” lunch or a tasty late afternoon snack.
