Belvedere Palace is a stunning palace located in the city center. It offers brilliant architecture and ample space to explore. The palace grounds, gardens, and surroundings are worth visiting even if you don't go inside the museum. The gardens are absolutely spectacular with three different levels and features such as sculptures and park benches. The palace itself is beautiful, although some people may find it less special compared to other places in Vienna. The exhibitions in the museum may not be as interesting as those in other museums, but if you want to see "The Kiss" by Klimt, it is worth a visit. The palace and gardens are well-organized and provide a great way to spend your time. Overall, Belvedere Palace is highly recommended with its amazing views, mesmerizing atmosphere, and a vast range of art pieces to explore.
