The Baroque summer palace of Prince Eugene holds Austria's greatest painting — Klimt's The Kiss — alongside the finest permanent collection of Austrian art in the world.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The Upper Belvedere is one of the finest Baroque palaces in Europe, built for Prince Eugene of Savoy between 1712 and 1723 and now home to Austria's national art collection. Klimt's The Kiss is here — the most reproduced painting in Austrian art history — alongside The Judith and other Klimt masterworks. Schiele, Kokoschka, Moser, and Waldmüller round out the collection. The formal gardens between the Upper and Lower Belvedere are among the most beautiful in Central Europe.
