Visiting Upper Belvedere Palace was truly memorable! The magnificent interiors, impressive art collections, and gorgeous gardens created a magical atmosphere. Direct entry made everything smooth and hassle-free, giving us more time to admire this remarkable Viennese treasure.
This is marvelous place to visit. The garden and surrounding area is beautiful! We enjoyed the magnificent architecture of the palace
The Upper Belvedere Palace was a wonderful visit. Direct entry made everything easy, and the palace itself was stunning. I loved seeing the beautiful rooms and famous artwork, especially Klimt. A memorable experience and well worth the visit! Truly worth it!!!
It was a very beautiful and architecturally impressive place. Dreamfly tourism provided us tickets at a very reasonable price and we thank them for their wonderful attitude towards us. Wonderful place!
Arriving at the booking time, the staff's reader at the entrance did not recognize our entry time (10:00) in the QR code, but rather two hours later. They did not let us in, asking us to contact Viator and resolve it! Two attempts were made, no response. Only after realizing that many others had the same problem did they let us in. Terrible experience.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the entrance. We understand how frustrating it was to see a different entry time on the QR code and to be asked to contact support before being allowed in. We’re also sorry that you were unable to receive a timely response during your attempts to contact us. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will review the issue with our team and ticketing partner to help prevent similar problems in the future.
Our reservation did not match the time visible via the QR code, and there was no flexibility at the entrance until the problem was encountered in numerous other reservations. The staff at the viewpoint were rigid and rude.
We’re sorry to hear about the issue with the entry time shown on your QR code and the inconvenience this caused. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when there was initially no flexibility at the entrance. Please share your booking reference number with us so we can investigate the issue further with the relevant team.
Visit to the Upper Belvedere in Vienna to forget, not because of the beauty of the site and the works, but because of the absolutely inappropriate manners of the surveillance staff. At the entrance, we were not warned to put away our backpacks as happened at other sites, and during the visit, some guards were all over us as if we were criminals; even a middle-aged guard started yelling, while constantly inviting us to be quiet, inviting us to go outside, and aware that we would not understand her language, neither English nor Italian. It is truly disappointing that in such an important place of culture, there are no proper manners toward the tourist who, among other things, pays significant amounts to visit these beauties where grace, empathy, and good manners must reign supreme.
We are very sorry to hear that your visit to the Upper Belvedere was affected by your experience with the security staff. We understand how uncomfortable it can feel to be treated in an unfriendly manner, especially when visiting such an important cultural attraction. The museum’s security staff and on-site procedures are managed directly by the venue. However, we take your feedback seriously and will share your concerns with the relevant team for their attention. We hope that, despite this disappointing experience, you were still able to enjoy the beauty of the Belvedere and its impressive collection. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Beautiful setting, historic buildings and nice green space. Despite going not long after it opened for the day it was still really busy. As is understandable, people congregate around Gustav Klimts 'the kiss'. This means it is hard to enjoy that painting in peace. Is timed entry slots and you need to book in advance. Under 19s get entry for free.
The Kiss is an exceptional piece of work and truly worth seeing in person. Pictures, while good, can't do it justice. So, visiting the Belvedere Palace was definitely worth the time and money. Seeing Klimpt's other piece have me a new perspective. Additionally, the palace itself and the grounds surrounding it were delightful.
The audio guide was very easy to use. It provided a lot of information. Printing or having your tickets on your phone simplified the entry. The art speaks for itself.
