The Upper Belvedere was constructed between 1717 and 1723. It was designed primarily for grand receptions, ceremonies and entertainment rather than everyday living. Today, it houses a museum featuring many masterpieces, including an impressive collection of works by Gustav Klimt. This was the main reason for our visit, as we wanted to see The Kiss in real life.
