Very easy to book and pay and all went well at the visit, which was a wonderful experience, loved the Belvedere and the glorious paintings there, including of course The Kiss!
The gallery was amazing especially the iconic Klimt. The bonus was the beautiful palace where the paintings were displayed. The gardens too were a beautiful stroll.
Exceptional paintings. Magnificent museum! Very well maintained park and museum, very professional and pleasant staff.
Views into the garden and Viena city
I found myself well, practical and efficient. Very useful.
Gallery organization is great, it's easy to follow.
Enjoy Austrian art from the 1900s.
All very well it was a unique experience
Booking was so easy and our guide Alex was so knowledgeable! He obviously loves his job and is passionate about art.
You can visit Upper Belvedere with no problems at all. Reserve the slot you prefer and enjoy Klimt's Kiss
Unexpected, large piece of land preserved in the city, easy to get to using the tram
Easy and flexible time Easy to locte the place and not so crowded
The highlight of my visit was seeing the works of klimt. unique emotion
Avoided lines and saved significantly. Experience to be repeated
Absolutely must visit museum, where in addition to impressive halls, there are many works of great value. The only negative note, the waiting time for access, which given the very large number of visitors was definitely long ( given also the temperature of the day) but despite this it was worth it
The entrance to the lower belvedere should be improved because the ticket must be validated twice, so at the second entrance we had to explain that we had validated the ticket at the first entrance. We recommend validating the ticket only once for the whole palace. Otherwise everything was outstanding.
We did not wait in line, we entered directly without going through the ticket office. Everything was perfect. Museum kept very well.
The art exhibit at such a beautiful location was outstanding. Booking of tickets through the Headput app was fast and easy. A throughly enjoyable visit!!
We loved the place, the works of art but above all our guide Germana. Nice, passionate and extremely kind. She made us live a wonderful experience that we will not forget. It's very recommended!
The artwork and the museum are beautiful. Large parts of the venue had descriptions of the rooms in the palace where the windows to the views were closed. Would've liked to have seen more of the palace itself. If you're into art, this is a good tour, otherwise it's not worth it if you want to see the palace itself.
Easy to enter and no wait with the advance timed ticket booking. The museum is beautiful and the grounds just as stunning. If you are an art lover this is a definite must see in Vienna. I loved learning about the other Austrian artists that are not as well known as Gustav Klimt. I appreciate the highlight on female artists. I learned something new.
Great art, Van Gogh, Monet, Klingt. Marble room, the chapel. Just lovely. I encourage to get the Audioguides as well. Very interesting info. Two tips: near the shop there is just one BATHROOM but if you go down the stairs you find many and more spacious. It is not so clearly displayed, just ask. Also, in the lockers, remember to get your euro coin back. You need a coin to use the locker but when you return the key, you get the coin back.
I like the way I have all my tickets for me and my family in one place. I don't have to search emails. It it easy and perfect. Comfortable and logical.
Well coordinated entrance - however, it would be nice if you said that AFTER having entrance with ticket, you can leave luggage and go to washroom - because in some museums (fx Neuschwannstein Castle) you have to leave luggage and go to toilet BEFORE time-slot entrance.
Such a lovely gallery! A great range of artwork, and amazing to see the kiss. I really loved the devil installation on the ground floor
See Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ and masterpieces by Monet, Rodin, and Van Gogh in one visit.

The experience must be done with a guided tour so as to catch every essence present in the palace. Kudos to our guide who was super valuable!
We loved the place, the works of art but above all our guide Germana. Nice, passionate and extremely kind. She made us live a wonderful experience that we will not forget. It's very recommended!
Our guide, Germana, was very friendly and professional. She provided a wealth of information about Klimt's and Schiele's masterpieces and their lives. I loved her. Thank you again
Our art historian tour guide was amazing and so incredibly knowledgeable that we learned so much and truly enjoyed the whole experience!
As instructed. we arrived 15 minutes early to commence the tour at 11am. Once the tour guide collected the entry tickets, we finally entered the Upper Belvedere Palce to commence the guided tour of the art gallery at 11.45am. The tour guide was very quietly spoken and at times difficult to hear Very dissapointing content Poor value for money
The guide Mr. Raffaele very knowledgeable never boring , with him we also visited Schönbrunn, same preparation, very nice. Grazt
Anna was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us so much information about the history and people who lived in the palace. Not to be missed. Thank you
Excellent experience and expert guidance
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide, helped us save time & have a useful visit

The wonderful building, the ceilings but little interest in the painting exhibition.
Beautifull place, everybody was helpfully.
I had no explanation about the halls to visit. I made inquiries to the staff on site who did not consider me at all.
We did not have access to the lower lookout with the tickets we purchased. The site was difficult to use for booking tickets in two stages. Explanations should be attached.
It was an all-round successful trip, unfortunately it rained, but you can't influence that... Worth seeing and highly recommended....
Everything was amazing and interesting for me!
What I loved the most about this place was display
Useful to avoid ticket line at entrance.
Great exhibition, great location
Super beautiful place, very easy to get to with your directions and best of all, all the recommendations.
Baroque interiors meet bold exhibitions here at Vienna’s Lower Belvedere Palace. Access both.
Inclusions
Entrance to the Lower Belvedere and Orangery
Entry ticket to Palace Stables Ticket (Temporary Exhibitions)
Interesting building but poorly indicated on the Belvedere premises
Man, woman, their relationship to each other, their different gender, runs through the entire exhibition and the life's work of RENATE BERTLMANN, performance artist with a political message, sympathetic, courageous woman. It is a pity, if not downright "unforgivable", that her MESSERROSENFELD of 2019 was neither exhibited in the Austria - Pavilion of the BIENNALE ARTE DI VENEZIA nor even found any mention, neither textual nor pictorial. Nothing ! This is inexplicable. Also the ticket - and guide - staff was totally uninformed in this matter ? How, Where, What, Why ?
I particularly liked the exhibition alois mosbacher. Also the premises. In the gastronomy was unfortunately no service.
Perfekte schnelle Abwicklung des ticketkaufs für das Belvedere 21 und eine wunderbare Stunde mit Einführung zum Bild des Monats Danke

The tickets were easy to book online. The public transport network in Vienna is very well developed. Some of the trains run every 5 minutes, so we only used public transport everywhere. We were even checked once, everything went very smoothly. The price/performance ratio was great.
Got robbed right in the main train station, backpack, incl. all documents, money cards, driver's license, money .... everything was gone! Only had cell phone and Wienaksrt ..... I don't have to say more ....
Being able to use unlimited public transportation for the whole week made our stay a lot easier. The discounts were also great, I was able to save a lot, but I couldn't book any experiences online, which made me unsure whether we would be able to get a place (e.g. Spanish Riding School).
Vienna is really something special. It was a very relaxed vacation (with a child) also because we already had the City cards and some of the tickets we were interested in. By ordering online, we were able to use all public transport in the city without any problems and reach all destinations easily.
Train and bus ticket included was great. However, the discounts per attraction/museum were unfortunately quite low and many did not recognize the ticket because "the Vienna City Pass must be red"...
The Vienna City Card was incredibly convenient—easy to purchase, simple to use, and made getting around the city stress-free. A must-have for hassle-free travel in Vienna.
Public transportation in Vienna is excellent: good network and very high frequency. The multi-day offer is good. The discount options could be clearer. The information that children under 16 travel free with this multi-day ticket is misleading, as they always travel free in Vienna.
We were able to use all means of transportation without worry and the discount we received was significantly higher than the cost of the card.
In Vienna, the train is a great means of transportation - we always got to our destinations very quickly. Since Vienna is a very expensive place, it was nice to save on sightseeing with the Vienacard, but there are also places you can visit for free like the city park or just take the train further and get off somewhere. You will be surprised at the diversity of Vienna behind the big tourist magnets....
The audio guide only covers the place visited in one or two sentences. This should be communicated to the user in advance, as you can go to the visited objects with completely wrong expectations. It is also difficult, sometimes impossible, to find the booked ticket on the cell phone. However, this is necessary for inquiries about discounts in e.g. museums etc., as discounts for the ViennaCard are only calculated if the complete ticket is displayed on the cell phone. A booking number only appears if you go to Account and then to Audioguides. This is very confusing and confusing. You should actually find your tickets under: Bookings. Yours sincerely from Berlin Norman Greyer
The Vienna City Card made it possible for us to reach many sights in a very short time and to visit them with reduced admission. All the outer districts are also very easy to reach. A negative aspect for us was the construction site for streetcars 1 and 2, which meant we had to use the 71E rail replacement service, which was unpunctual and sometimes passed through the stop. Unfortunately, we were unable to validate the barcode of the digital card at any point. This should be done on the first day? We will definitely recommend the City Card to others.
We were able to travel across the huge city of Vienna from one hotspot to the next without any problems. Without the Vienna Card, we wouldn't have been able to do this by private car. Neither in the subway nor in the streetcar or bus was it overcrowded or unbearably hot (at 30 degrees C outside temperature).
Absolutely uncomplicated, very easy to book and, in combination with the Wien Mobil app, mobile throughout Vienna on all routes. Great. The discounts are deducted just as easily at the ticket offices. Great thing!!!
Really convenient , we saved quite a bit of money and time and visited things we might have skipped otherwise! Highly recommended
The problem-free use of public transport. It was unclear: we received an e-mail asking us to validate the Vienna City Card. But we couldn't find a place where we could validate the card. Not even at Vienna Central Station. This was probably an erroneous message that cost us some time. Yours sincerely. Peyer
A multi-day card for all public transportation is excellent. No need to pay attention to zones or times... A hop-on hop-off card makes the whole thing perfect.
Very good transportation network, nice people who helped you when you were looking for the departure point of a train.
Senior citizen tickets in the museums were often cheaper and the ticket was not recognized in the art museum. But it was recognized. Everywhere we went we had to compare which was cheaper. We liked the good public transportation.
The ability to get almost anywhere by public transport, the punctuality and being free from the hassle of buying tickets
Fiaker ride was good Subway connections top
Punctual public transportation, vehicles very neat and clean, attention to disabled people.
The uncomplicated use of public transportation
Public transport in Vienna is great. The Vienna Card also offers many discounts, e.g. for the Prater
Cleaner and more punctual CAT!!!
Ease of use for both public transportation and businesses and museums.
