This half-day walking-tour presents two of Vienna’s most outstanding periods, Baroque and Art Nouveau.
We skip-the-line to explore the Upper Belvederes refined interior. The Austria Gallery’s highlight is the Kiss by Gustav Klimt – presented among ten other Klimts and works of his contemporaries like Schiele and Kokoschka.
Baroque gardens always hide little surprises – lets decipher them.
The open spaces of Schwarzenbergplatz and Karlsplatz offer unique vistas spanning periods from the seventeen-hundreds to WWII.
An art nouveau signature building itself the Secession holds another Kiss at the end of Klimt’s “illustration” of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
At the end, Naschmarkt invites you to explore Vienna’s culinary diversity or just relax with an al fresco lunch or afternoon snack.
Pickup included
Outstanding wrought-iron gates open into the Belvedere gardens. We skip the line to visit Vienna’s best baroque garden palace and see Klimt’s Kiss – embedded in the Austrian Gallery.
On our way down, we decipher the three-leveled gardens and the play with visual tricks before we enter the Lower Belvedere.
The garden room and the honor court make us understand what Prince Eugene brought to Vienna from Versailles – on a miniature scale though.
