The Upper Belvedere hosts exhibitions of famous Austrian art, among them painters like Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka (Visit Belvedere's Homepage - it's really great!)
The Lower Belvedere resembles Prinz Eugen's magnificent living quarters. Representational rooms like the Hall of Grotesques, Marble Gallery and Golden Room, offer a fascinating insight into Baroque interior design - JUST WONDERFUL!!!

ascending the hill!
