El Belvedere<\/strong> is a Baroque palace complex in Vienna, a 10-minute walk from the State Opera and part of the city\u2019s UNESCO-listed historic centre. Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt built it in 1712\u20131723 as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy: the Lower Belvedere for living and the grander Upper Belvedere for receptions, linked by a terraced French-style garden with fountains, cascades and sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Eugene\u2019s death the Habsburgs bought the palaces. From 1781 the Upper Belvedere displayed the imperial picture collection, making it one of the first public museums in the world; later Archduke Franz Ferdinand lived here until 1914, and in 1955 the Austrian State Treaty, which restored Austria\u2019s independence, was signed in its Marble Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today both palaces belong to the Belvedere museum. The Upper Belvedere holds the world\u2019s largest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt, including \u201cThe Kiss\u201d and \u201cJudith\u201d, as well as works by Schiele, Kokoschka, Monet, Van Gogh and Jacques-Louis David\u2019s \u201cNapoleon Crossing the Alps\u201d; the Lower Belvedere shows temporary exhibitions in the prince\u2019s state rooms. The garden is free to walk through. Start at the Upper Belvedere at the top of the slope and walk down to the Lower Belvedere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
