Formerly the residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, hammer of the Turks, the Belvedere is now one of Vienna's cultural meccas. For any Klimt or Schiele fan the gallery is a must, but even if the staff were to remove every last painting, the palace would still be worth the trip. It's a glorious piece of architecture and the views over Vienna are amongst the city's finest. Art lovers have a veritable banquet to savour, above all with the German and Austrian nineteenth century treasures. Caspar David Friedrich's moody canvases will entrance fans of the Romantic era, and fin-de-siecle treats are in abundance, most famously Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, which does live up to the hype.

My girlfriend really likes the traditional paintings here, but I enjoyed staring at the architecture far more.
