Promenade d'art privée Klimt & Vienna — Du baroque à la sécession
Description
Cette visite à pied d'une demi-journée présente deux des périodes les plus remarquables de Vienne, le baroque et l'Art nouveau. Nous sautons la ligne pour explorer l'intérieur raffiné des Belvédères supérieurs. Le point culminant de la galerie autrichienne est le baiser de Gustav Klimt - présenté parmi dix autres Klimts et des œuvres de ses contemporains comme Schiele et Kokoschka. Les jardins baroques cachent toujours de petites surprises - déchiffrons-les. Les espaces ouverts de la Schwarzenbergplatz et de la Karlsplatz offrent des vues uniques sur des périodes allant des dix-sept cents à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Un bâtiment de signature Art nouveau lui-même, la Sécession détient un autre baiser à la fin de «l'illustration» de Klimt de l'Ode à la joie de Beethoven. À la fin, le Naschmarkt vous invite à découvrir la diversité culinaire de Vienne ou simplement vous détendre avec un déjeuner en plein air ou une collation l'après-midi.

Itinéraire
D'excellentes portes en fer forgé s'ouvrent sur les jardins du Belvédère. Nous sautons la file pour visiter le meilleur palais de jardin baroque de Vienne et admirer le baiser de Klimt - intégré dans la galerie autrichienne.
En descendant, nous déchiffrons les jardins à trois niveaux et les astuces visuelles avant d’entrer dans le Belvédère inférieur.
Le salon de jardin et la cour d'honneur nous font comprendre ce que le prince Eugène a apporté de Versailles à Vienne - à une échelle miniature cependant.
La Schwarzenbergplatz est dominée par le mémorial soviétique et entourée d’un mélange de bâtiments illustrant la période de prospérité économique de Vienne à la fin des années 1800.
Construite pour impressionner de loin, cette église ouvre la voie à la plus glorieuse époque de l’Autriche datant des années 1700. Le baroque à son meilleur.
Fonctionnelle mais élégante, la station de métro Otto Wagner sur la Karlsplatz représente un autre des moments de gloire de Vienne, l’époque des années 1900, l’Art nouveau!
Le Wiener Musikverein (Association viennoise de musique) est le siège de l'orchestre philharmonique de Vienne. La "Grande salle d'or" (Großer Saal), en raison de son acoustique réputée, est considérée comme l'une des plus belles salles de concert du monde.
Le bâtiment de la Sécession est un manifeste architectural pour l'Art Nouveau. Construit par un groupe d’artistes rebelles qui se séparent de l’institution artistique de longue date. Klimt a peint la Frieze de Beethoven pour une exposition en l'honneur du compositeur. Destinée uniquement à l'exposition, la frise a été peinte directement sur les murs avec des matériaux légers. Cela aboutit à "un baiser au monde".
Le Naschmarkt, dans sa phase de transition actuelle, date de 1915 et est un mélange de marché et d’expérience alimentaire internationale. Parfait pour un déjeuner «al fresco» ou une collation savoureuse en fin d’après-midi.

Lovely and worth a visit
Gracias, Susi, por tu valoración positiva. Nos alegra que hayas disfrutado del recorrido.
I strongly recommended other travelers not to book this tour. The tour guide Walter distorted History for personal reasons and was very unprofessional. He has strong anti-american ideas like expressing his idea that NATO was originally formed by the U.S. in order to control Europe. He also believed that Austria would have been better under Soviet-era rule.
Gonzalo, thank you for your feedback (05/29)! Although your negative rating results from another incident, including rudeness on your side – I respect your reception of my guiding-performance. Based on a profound academic education and forty+ years in travelling (including living 10 years in the USA) and guiding, I learned to consider/respect different ideological perspectives. Austrias skepticism towards NATO is documented by a survey that states 62% of Austrians would oppose NATO membership, if it ever would be even considered. Born under “Soviet rule” in suburban Vienna 1953 to a family with partly pre-communist Russian roots– I did not glorify that system, but mentioned, that Austria practices contacts with (any) Russia, free of Russophobia successfully. But yes, me and our guides are encouraged to share personal opinions – as we think that enriches our guests travel experience. That’s what we consider a “private tours” could be about too!
We took a birthday ride on the tram from the tram museum across the Ring in Vienna. The tram is 97 years old. 🚊We would be picked up and greeted. Beautiful wagon renovated with love. Fun ride, good mood, sparkling wine and sweets we had with us. 🍾🍬🍭We see all the sights. After about 1, 5 hours we come back. Another souvenir photo was taken of us. A very nice ride through Vienna. UNIQUE. Very nice drivers inside. Successful birthday. 🥳🎉
Es freut uns, dass Euch die Straßenbahnfahrt in Wien Spaß gemacht hat und dass Ihr dieses positive Erlebnis teilen möchtet. Allerdings habt Ihr diese fahrt nicht mit uns gebucht – Schindl Local Services & Day Tours hat eine solches Arrangement nicht im Angebot. Liebe Grüße aus Wien
Pick up at hotel and riding Metro with all the explanations of the Art and historical reference. The explanation of klimts life, friends and insight into the art because of it. Loved the Belvedere and why it was built. Wonderful pace and helped so much with questions.
Thanks Sandra, glad it worked out for us. It’s a somewhat challenging tour but we want go share a feel for Vienna beyond the pieces of art. Happy travels for the two of you!
We learned so much about Vienna! This tour included information about the past and its effects on the present. We loved walking through Vienna even though the weather was troubling. Walter was the perfect guide. If you want to learn about Klimt, Vienna and all of its past glory then this is the tour for you.
Thank you Marguerite, for the positive energy you brought into this tour at the beginning of the weatherwise most challenging weekend for Vienna. Glad you two enjoyed the mix of information amidst the environmental challenges we faced together.
Walter was great. Pace was perfect and the Belvedere was exquisite. Stopped for a beer at local pub which was quite enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour with Walter.
Thank you, Carmine! Glad you liked the mix of “art and pleasure” – and we covered quite some ground. I enjoyed your company. Happy travels!
Walter was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and charming. The art history was well presented and explained though the tour. He easily adjusted to the slower walking pace of a member of our party and made it an enjoyable morning. There is plenty of walking, so be aware of that. But highly recommend.
Thank you Evan! I’m glad that - building on the special interest – we were able to get a feel for the city. Wish you a save “floating” to Amsterdam!
We were impressed with Walter's knowledge of art and history. However, he is more of a lecturer than an engaged guide, and his humor is a bit dated (we didn't really need the wife and boobs jokes). His walking pace is quite slow, and while we didn't mind, some may find his limited energy frustrating.
Hello Christine, Thanks for your feedback. If I remember well, you abruptly ended the tour after 2hrs. – instead of 3hrs – because “your and your sister’s feet where killing you”. Which is no surprise after taking another walking tour in the morning. Although being 71 I know how to pace myself for two walks a day. Mentioning that, it may explain why I may seem slow . . . I have to go the whole way every day. Ok, my humor may be somewhat outdated . . . which may come with age, sorry. Sorry also for not meeting your expectations and you not being able to finish the tour.
Excellent. Guide was very knowledgeable about the museum, and the paintings contained therein. He was also able to get us in early, and explained the buildings around the palace.
Visiting Belvedere (Klimt’s Kiss) can become challenging – glad we made it. Thanks for deciding on a tour-mix with us/me.
A thank you to Walter, he is a special guide, with a great knowledge and a lot of stories. My group enjoyed this 3 hours very much!
Thank you Ulrike! Glad to see the Irish travel again. So far there where not many this year!
