The Belvedere is not only a magnificent Baroque palace but also houses one of Austria's most valuable art collections – with key works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. The gardens of the Belvedere are a highlight of Baroque landscape architecture. A reflecting pool was created in front of the place, in which the building's facade is reflected. The large terraces with ponds connect the Upper to the Lower Belvedere.
Established in 1754 by the Empress Maria Theresa, this renowned botanical garden draws a lot of tourist attention, due to its plant variety and picturesque landscape.
