It was too much to be bothered about carrying the bag. While I had to leave my rucksack of a smaller size at the wardrobe, anothe woman brought inside a cross-body bag bigger than my rucksack. There's no such a rule in Schoenbrun which is full of antique artifacts, and here there are only paintings and limiting rope liners, so there's no danger of damaging anything. On top of that, nobody is checking the bags, so you can bring anything in, including hazardous objects.

The ticketing for this amazing tour was quick and easy. The best part, however, was our amazing tour guide Alexander! He was so knowledgeable and fun to speak with, that we learned much more than expected about every aspect of this building and the artwork within. This tour was easily one of the very best my wife and I have had! I have a mobility disability and tours are often very challenging. Alex was attuned to my needs and frequent rests and a chance to sit and talk were essential for me and appreciated. This is a must do trip on your travel to Vienna.

Anna was exceptional, and very accommodating with the group. Anna’s love for the history and the art in museum shone through and she was so knowledgeable, and did a wonderful job. l only gave a good score not because of Anna the tour guide but because of a group who did not appreciate her concern and tolerance, so l feel l did not get the value of Anna's knowledge, and it meant that we also ended late. There was one person in a wheelchair and Anna spent a lot of time helping them,l don't mean to sound unconcerning - but l felt annoyed with them only because they relied on Anna to support them way too much. Anna if your reading this - you were great!

The bus route was good for showing you around the area although sometimes the earphone socket did not work so you missed some of the commentary. My main complaint is that when you used the free drink ticket at St Stephens platz Christmas market you paid a deposit on the mug but they refused too give you a refund when you took the mugs back so in effect you are paying for your drink

It was too much to be bothered about carrying the bag. While I had to leave my rucksack of a smaller size at the wardrobe, anothe woman brought inside a cross-body bag bigger than my rucksack. There's no such a rule in Schoenbrun which is full of antique artifacts, and here there are only paintings and limiting rope liners, so there's no danger of damaging anything. On top of that, nobody is checking the bags, so you can bring anything in, including hazardous objects.

I did not like that I had to install new app. I'm glad I read about this from other comment because probably I would not understand the reasoning to install new app to have the tickets. I liked the interiors and all works of Hanna Hoch. It made big impression on me. However my husband and children were less enthusiastic. It was lovely inside due to working air conditioning. We loved surrounding gardens.

it was very easy to buy my tickets on headout! i highly recommend it, since you can have your tickets from your cell phone and anticipate your purchase. My only recommendation would be to research well what exhibitions you want to see and in which area of the Belvedere is located (lower or upper belvedere), as I bought tickets for lower belvedere but the exhibition I wanted to see was in upper belvedere.

Belvedere Palace highlights
Belvedere Palace has a lot to offer in terms of the rich history and culture of the Austrian monarchy. Here are the top highlights that will help you explore the place.
Upper Belvedere Palace
After Empress Maria Theresa acquired the palace complex after the demise of Prince Eugene, she redesigned the Upper Belvedere into an exhibition venue for the art collections that were imperial. Hence, the place was turned into one of the world's first public museums.
Visit Upper Belvedere Palace
Lower Belvedere Palace
The Lower Belvedere served as the residential building for Prince Eugene after its completion and marked the boundary between the Baroque building complex and the imperial city of Vienna. It is one of the prominent museums of the world today, with splendid artworks on display.
Visit Lower Belvedere Palace
Belvedere 21 Museum
The Belvedere 21 Museum features some of the most fascinating pieces of Modern Art acquired by the Austrian state since the end of WWII in the Artothek des Bundes. The museum includes sculptures by Lois Weinberger and Leopold Kessler and shows art films in the 1950's-style cinema, Blickle Kino.
Visit Belvedere 21 Museum
Exhibitions & collections
Visitors can enjoy art exhibits at the Museum that displays all kinds of paintings from various art movements, be it Realism of the late 1800s or the post-modern avant-garde that shaped contemporary artforms, going all the way back to the Medieval period and its craftsmanship.
Explore Belvedere Palace Exhibitions
Orangery
Initially a heated conservatory for citrus trees, the Orangery was reconverted into stables in 1805. When it was further redesigned, the interior of the Orangery was converted into a modern area that we see today, and hence the white cube exhibition space came into being.
