The Oberes Belvedere (Upper Belvedere Palace)

The Oberes Belvedere (Upper Belvedere Palace), built from 1721-23 for Prince Eugene of Savoy, offers terrific views across the gardens to the Unteres Belvedere (Lower Belvedere) and the city beyond. Artwork from the Middle Ages and the baroque era is featured in the Unteres Belvedere. The Oberes Belvedere houses art from the 19th-century classical, Romantic and Biedermeier periods on the second floor and post-1918 art on the ground floor. The first floor includes paintings by Gustav Klimt (including the iconic "The Kiss"), Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka and other fin-de-siècle artists.
