Prices are the adult rate from the Belvedere. Under-19s are free, and a disability card holder pays €8 with a companion free.

• Time slots: required for the Upper and Lower Belvedere. You choose the slot when you buy, and the stay is unlimited. Belvedere 21 needs a day, not a time.
• Combination tickets: the slot is for the Upper Belvedere, and you visit the other sites the same day, before or after.
• Direct entry: holders of the Gold Pass, Bundesmuseen Card, Vienna Pass, Flexi Pass and ICOM membership go straight to the entrance with their card and an ID. There may be a short wait at peak times.
• Online ticket: you go directly to the museum entrance, and a time-slot ticket gets priority over visitors who have not bought one.

How to buy

• Buy at belvedere.at online or at the ticket offices. Buying in advance shows every free slot and skips the ticket-office queue.
• Holders of the NÖ-Card, Ö1-Clubcard or Kulturpass must come to the ticket office, where the free or discounted ticket and its slot are issued on the spot. A slot cannot be booked in advance.
• Counterfeits: the Belvedere does not refund counterfeit, overpriced or unlawfully transferred tickets.
• Groups need a free reservation.
