Your comment

If an argument should make you want to go to the Belvedere Palace, it is the presence of the painting The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. It is simply beautiful to see in real life. You can take a picture with a copy.
The Schloss Belvedere is both a magnificent museum to visit in a sumptuous palace, and a beautiful garden area with its flowers, fountains and statues.
A must see.
