Decision matrix

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Location Confusion: Belvedere 21 is a separate contemporary art pavilion located near the main train station (Hauptbahnhof), roughly a 15-minute walk from the Upper Belvedere palace; ensure you are at Arsenalstraße 1.
  • The 'Kiss' Exclusion: This ticket grants access to contemporary exhibitions and the Blickle Cinema only; it does not include entry to the Upper Belvedere where Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss' is displayed.
  • Mandatory Cloakroom: Backpacks, large bags, and umbrellas are strictly prohibited in the galleries; lockers are available but often require a returnable 1 or 2 Euro coin for operation.
  • Security Queue Reality: While 'skip-the-line' tickets bypass the ticket purchase desk, all visitors must still wait for mandatory security and bag inspections during peak hours.
  • Final Entry Deadline: The museum typically stops admitting visitors 30 minutes before the official closing time; late arrivals with valid tickets will be denied entry without a refund.
  • Official Cancellation Policy: Standard tickets from the official venue are usually non-refundable and date-specific; third-party 'flexible' tickets often carry a higher base price to cover cancellation insurance.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

  • Entrance: Belvedere 21 is located at Arsenalstraße 1, approximately 10-15 minutes on foot from the Upper Belvedere gardens and 5-10 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) via the Arsenalstraße exit. Enter via the main glass-fronted lobby; unlike the Upper Belvedere, queues are rare and timed entry is generally not required for the permanent collection. If you have a 'Belvedere' combo ticket, verify you are at the contemporary art wing and not the Baroque palaces. All backpacks, large bags, and umbrellas must be deposited in the self-service lockers (requires a 1 or 2 Euro coin) or the cloakroom before proceeding to the exhibition levels.
  • Price: Official adult tickets for Belvedere 21 (the contemporary art museum) are €12, significantly lower than the palace tickets shown above. Visitors under 19 enter for free. The higher prices in the partner rows reflect bundles for the Upper or Lower Belvedere palaces; if you only wish to visit Belvedere 21, check the official site for the standalone rate.
  • Discounts: Admission is free for all visitors under the age of 19; while Belvedere 21 is generally less crowded than the Upper Belvedere, you should still add a free 'Children/Youth' ticket to your online booking to ensure direct entry. Reduced-rate tickets are available for students under 26, seniors aged 65+, and visitors with disabilities. If a disability ID indicates a requirement for assistance, one accompanying person is granted free admission. All visitors using free or reduced tickets must present a valid photo ID at the entrance to verify eligibility.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book a specific time slot for Belvedere 21?

While the Upper Belvedere strictly requires timed entry, Belvedere 21 is more flexible. You can often walk in with a day ticket, though booking online is recommended during major contemporary exhibitions. Note that the museum stays open late until 9:00 PM every Thursday, offering a quieter evening experience.

Is Belvedere 21 included in the general Belvedere Palace ticket?

No, a standard ticket for the Upper or Lower Belvedere does not include Belvedere 21. You must either purchase a dedicated Belvedere 21 ticket or the 'Belvedere' combo ticket, which covers all three museum locations.

How do free tickets for children and youth work?

Visitors under 19 enter for free. While they do not usually need a pre-booked timed reservation for Belvedere 21, they must present a valid photo ID at the ticket desk to obtain their free entry pass.

What is the cancellation policy for Belvedere 21 tickets?

Official museum tickets are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If you require flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often provides a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.

Are there storage facilities for bags and jackets?

Yes, for security and art protection, large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas must be left in the cloakroom or lockers. Small handbags are permitted but must be carried at your side or front.

Does my ticket include access to the Blickle Kino?

Your museum ticket includes access to the architectural pavilion and current exhibitions; however, specific film screenings or special events at the Blickle Kino may require a separate supplemental ticket.

Is the museum fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?

Yes, Belvedere 21 is a modern, barrier-free building with elevator access to all exhibition levels and the basement. Wheelchairs are available for rent at the cloakroom upon request.
