Step into the Lower Belvedere, the elegant baroque palace tucked into Landstraße. Wander through richly decorated halls and painted ceilings while taking in the current exhibitions, then stroll over to the Upper Belvedere nearby.
Full description
The Lower Belvedere is the more intimate half of the Belvedere complex, set in Landstraße a short walk from the Upper building. Its main draw is the preserved baroque interior, where painted ceilings and decorated halls reward anyone who remembers to look up.
