Not sure which ticket to choose?
For most visitors, a standard ticket to the Upper Belvedere is the priority to see Klimt’s 'The Kiss,' but these require strict timed-entry slots. Choose a guided tour if you want to bypass the ticket office and gain historical context, or a museum pass if you plan to visit multiple Imperial Vienna sites over several days.
You prefer a professional guide to explain the art and history of the palace.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: Upper Belvedere requires a strict timed entry slot; arrive at the Prinz Eugen-Straße 27 gate 15 minutes before your window to account for the mandatory security check. While digital tickets bypass the ticket office queue, they do not skip the security line. Large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are prohibited in the galleries and must be stored in the cloakroom, which can become a bottleneck during peak hours. If you have a combined ticket, start at the Upper Belvedere (Klimt collection) during your assigned slot, then walk downhill through the gardens to the Lower Belvedere entrance at Rennweg 6, which typically has shorter entry wait times.
- Price: Official 2026 adult rates start at €12.00 for Belvedere 21 (on-site) and approximately €19.50 for the Upper Belvedere (online). On-site tickets for the Upper Belvedere are €21.00. Partner prices of €23 typically reflect the on-site rate plus a service fee for instant mobile delivery or flexible cancellation. Visitors under 19 enter for free but must still obtain a timed-entry ticket for the Upper Belvedere, which is the primary bottleneck due to the Gustav Klimt collection.
- Discounts: Visitors under 19 enjoy free admission to all Belvedere locations but must still hold a valid timed-entry ticket; it is highly recommended to reserve these free tickets online to guarantee the same entry slot as the rest of your group. Reduced rates are available for students under 26, seniors aged 65 and over, and visitors with disabilities. Notably, holders of the Vienna Pass, Flexi Pass, or ICOM cards can usually proceed directly to the entrance, though booking a free time-slot ticket online is recommended during peak months like May to guarantee access. While the palace gardens are free to the public, the Upper Belvedere strictly enforces time slots for its permanent collection, and online tickets are cheaper than those purchased at the on-site box office.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a printed ticket or a specific time slot for the Upper Belvedere?
Mobile tickets are fully accepted, but a timed entry slot is mandatory for the Upper Belvedere to manage crowds. You should arrive at the palace entrance 5-10 minutes before your assigned slot, as entry is strictly controlled to protect the artwork and manage capacity.
Can I cancel or change my Belvedere ticket if my plans change?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable once purchased. For greater flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often allows for cancellation up to 24 hours in advance, which is recommended if your travel schedule is uncertain.
What is the difference between Upper and Lower Belvedere tickets?
The Upper Belvedere houses the world-famous permanent collection, including Gustav Klimt’s 'The Kiss,' while the Lower Belvedere focuses on temporary exhibitions and the Baroque living quarters. Most visitors prioritize the Upper Belvedere; if you wish to see both, a combo ticket is significantly cheaper than buying separate entries.
How do free tickets for children and youth under 19 work?
Visitors under 19 enter for free but still require a physical or digital ticket with a timed entry slot for the Upper Belvedere. While these can sometimes be obtained at the ticket desk, it is safer to book them online in advance to ensure the child can enter at the same time as the rest of the group.
Are there security checks or bag restrictions at the palace?
Yes, all visitors must pass through a security screening. Large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are not permitted in the exhibition rooms and must be left in the free cloakroom or lockers; allow an extra 15 minutes for this process during peak summer months.
What happens if I arrive late for my timed entry slot?
The Belvedere usually allows a small grace period of about 15 minutes, but entry is not guaranteed if you miss your window. On busy days in May, staff are stricter with timing to prevent overcrowding in the Klimt galleries, so punctuality is essential.
How can I avoid the biggest crowds around 'The Kiss'?
The room containing Klimt's 'The Kiss' is the main internal bottleneck. To see it with fewer crowds, book the first slot of the day at 9:00 AM or visit after 4:30 PM when most large tour groups have departed.
