Meeting Point
Please meet your guide at the entrance of the ticket office of the Upper Belvedere Palace. Please be there 15 minutes before the beginning of the tour, to ensure entry to the Palace. This is not the same entrance to the Palace, but the entrance as soon as you come in to the garden from Prinz Eugen Street on the right. The entrance fee to the Belvedere Palace is NOT included in our tour price but your guide will help you purchase the tickets.
Belvedere Schlossgarten
The Belvedere complex is an architectural masterpiece of a bygone aristocratic splendor designed to project a sense of earthly harmony. This terrestrial utopia was founded in the first decades of the 18th c. as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy, the commander-in-chief of the Austrian army and one of the most successful military commanders in modern European history. Among the most significant buildings of the 18th c., the grandiose palace of the Upper Belvedere is a masterstroke of Baroque architecture while the surrounding formal gardens were inspired by classical antiquity.
