About Belvedere Palace
- Two baroque palaces and gardens housing Klimt's 'The Kiss' and Austrian art.
- Museum cloakroom rules mean suitcases are not allowed in the galleries.
- A short walk north of Vienna Hauptbahnhof.
- Upper and Lower Belvedere sit at opposite ends of a long formal garden.
The Belvedere is a baroque palace complex of two Habsburg-era buildings set among terraced gardens, best known as the museum housing Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss.' As an art museum, it enforces cloakroom rules that require visitors to check coats and larger bags, and suitcases are not allowed into the galleries at all. Travelers arriving from the nearby Hauptbahnhof, only a short walk south, sometimes turn up with luggage before hotel check-in and find the checkroom unsuited to full-size cases. The Upper and Lower Belvedere sit at opposite ends of a long formal garden, so touring both with heavy bags is tiring. Storage partners near the Hauptbahnhof and Quartier Belvedere let you leave luggage first, then view the Klimt collection and gardens unencumbered.
