The decisive choice is between basic timed admission and a guided or skip-the-line experience: Upper and Lower Belvedere require a valid time-slot ticket, but your visit inside is not time-limited.

Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingBelvedere Palace is busiest between 11 am and 2 pm, especially on weekends and holidays. For a quieter visit, choose an early-morning entry or later afternoon; the Upper Belvedere opens at 9 am, while the Lower Belvedere opens at 10 am.
EntranceWith an online ticket, go directly to the Belvedere Palace museum entrance at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 27; the venue also lists access from the Landstraßer Gürtel side. A timed ticket or skip-the-line option does not guarantee immediate entry because security checks and visitor-capacity controls may still create a short wait. The busiest period is 11:00–14:00, so an early or late slot is the better queue strategy. Large bags, backpacks, travel bags and umbrellas are not allowed in the exhibition rooms; free lockers are available when space permits, but luggage storage is not provided.
PriceNo official benchmark price is shown for Belvedere Palace in the available options. Prices range from 23 EUR for "Vienna: Upper Belvedere & Permanent Collection Entry Ticket" to 59 EUR for "Vienna Belvedere Palace Skip-the-line Tour & Official Guide"; higher prices reflect added skip-the-line or guided elements, so check the final checkout total and inclusions before buying.
DiscountsChildren and young people under 19 enter free, but they still need the applicable admission ticket and, for the Upper or Lower Belvedere, a time slot unless an eligible pass or membership removes that requirement. Visitors with free or reduced admission can go to the ticket office with valid proof and receive the applicable ticket, including a time slot, on the spot. A Disability Card can provide reduced admission, with a companion free when the need for assistance is noted on the card.

Planning your visit

Belvedere Palace is the historic Schloss Belvedere, a Baroque palace complex built for Prince Eugene of Savoy by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The Upper Belvedere displays Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss alongside works by Egon Schiele, while the Marble Hall is associated with the signing of the Austrian State Treaty.

The Upper Belvedere admission ticket uses a timed entry system, and a Belvedere timed entry ticket is required for the Upper and Lower Belvedere. A Belvedere skip-the-line ticket may streamline ticket access but does not necessarily remove security screening; a Belvedere guided museum tour adds historical context, while a Belvedere audio guide suits visitors who prefer to explore independently. A Belvedere combined ticket can link visits to more than one location.

The Upper Belvedere is at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 27, with the Tram D Schloss Belvedere stop nearby and Quartier Belvedere station served by rail, S-Bahn, and trams. Wien Hauptbahnhof is also close to the complex. The Lower Belvedere is on Rennweg, while Belvedere 21 is reached from the Quartier Belvedere area.

The Baroque tiered gardens connect the palace grounds and provide the classic exterior views, including the reflecting pool facing the Upper Belvedere. Belvedere opening hours are generally 9 am to 7 pm at the Upper Belvedere, 10 am to 6 pm at the Lower Belvedere, and 11 am to 6 pm at Belvedere 21, with late opening at Belvedere 21 on Thursdays.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • Upper Belvedere admission uses a fixed time slot, so a ticket is not fully flexible even when it is sold as skip-the-line.
  • Skip-the-line access does not necessarily bypass security procedures; Belvedere Palace may carry out visual bag inspections, and smaller bags can also be requested at the cloakroom.
  • Backpacks, travel bags, umbrellas and larger handbags are not allowed in the exhibition rooms. Free lockers and cloakroom storage are available subject to capacity, but larger luggage cannot be stored.
  • Do not arrive with airport-style luggage: Belvedere Palace does not accept luggage storage, and there is no guaranteed right to cloakroom or locker space.
  • For guided products, missing the scheduled tour start can result in forfeiting the tour fee, so late arrival is more costly than simply missing a flexible entry window.
  • The last admission is 30 minutes before closing, and individual galleries or exhibition areas may temporarily close for security, capacity or exhibition-change reasons without reducing the ticket fee.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Do Belvedere Palace tickets require a time slot?

Yes. Entry to Belvedere Palace is tied to the time slot selected at booking, while the duration of the visit is not limited. Timed entry helps control visitor numbers but does not necessarily bypass security checks.

Can I use a mobile ticket at Belvedere Palace?

Use the mobile voucher or ticket issued by your seller if mobile entry is stated for your selected product. Keep the ticket available for scanning and follow the seller’s instructions for the meeting point and admission process.

Can I cancel or get a refund for a Belvedere Palace ticket?

Cancellation and refund terms vary by product and seller and are not stated in every ticket description. Confirm the cancellation deadline and refund conditions at checkout before paying.

Is buying from the official seller better than booking a guided Belvedere Palace tour?

The €23 entry ticket is the supplied benchmark for a basic visit to Belvedere Palace. Partner guided and skip-the-line products shown here cost €50, €53, or €59, so they are mainly for visitors who want a guide or hosted assistance rather than the lowest entry price.

What bags can I take into Belvedere Palace?

Large luggage cannot be stored, and travel bags, backpacks, handbags, umbrellas, and outerwear must be left in the cloakroom or free lockers where accepted. Occasional bag checks take place, so skip-the-line access does not guarantee that you can bypass security.

What happens if I arrive late for my Belvedere Palace time slot?

Because admission is linked to a selected time slot, arrive in time for that window. Late-entry conditions are not stated for every product, so contact the seller immediately if you expect to miss your booked time.

Do children and free or reduced-price visitors need a ticket for Belvedere Palace?

Visitors under 19 qualify for free admission, but they still need an admission ticket and time slot. Visitors using a qualifying free or reduced-entry pass generally obtain the ticket and time slot at the ticket office, subject to availability.

What is the main delay to expect at Belvedere Palace?

The main bottlenecks are timed-entry processing and security or bag checks. The venue identifies 11 am to 2 pm as its busiest period, so earlier or later visits are usually more comfortable.
