I visited the Upper Belvedere Palace on my birthday, and seeing / witnessing “The Kiss” from Gustav Klimt was a birthday gift for me :) This Baroque palace has 800 years of art history – with masterpieces by Klimt, Schiele, Monet and van Gogh.
Built by the famous Baroque architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt to be used as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663–1736).
