About
Rýchle fakty: Visitors often gasp at the gilded Baroque staircases and terraces, where fountains and manicured gardens frame views that make every photo look cinematic. Inside, one of the world's most important collections of Klimt paintings, including the golden 'The Kiss', draws art lovers into a close-up of Secession-era ornament and intensity.
Zaujímavosti: Imagine stepping into a flamboyant Baroque set where Prince Eugene of Savoy commissioned Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt between 1714 and 1723 to build two palaces that frame terraces, clipped lime trees, gilded statues, and marble fountains along a long central axis. Inside, the galleries hold the world's largest collection of Gustav Klimt paintings, crowned by The Kiss from 1908, so you can stand inches from the shimmering gold leaf and feel the textures of his brushwork.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, paths and stairs in the gardens are cobbled and uneven.
- Go straight to the Upper Belvedere on arrival to see Klimt before larger tour groups appear.
- Reserve a timed ticket online to skip the busiest queues and control your visit length.
- Use the terraced lawns for photos at golden hour, avoid the main steps when large tour groups are present.
