We went to the Ferris wheel quite spontaneously in the evening, I bought the tickets 1-2 hours before our visit to the Prater. We hardly had to wait 10 minutes. It was very atmospheric (see photos) and now at the beginning of May fewer guests ... great!

We had bought tickets in advance so we got in the line right away. We posed for the photos first and bought one as a cute souvenir. The wheel is great fun, you can get a great view of Vienna from the top, and the cars are very safe! We both enjoyed it very much.
Quite quick boarding, toilet in front of the entrance very practical, otherwise as always, I have traveled as a Viennese very often with guests who liked the view very, very much

The gallery was amazing especially the iconic Klimt. The bonus was the beautiful palace where the paintings were displayed. The gardens too were a beautiful stroll.
Exceptional paintings. Magnificent museum! Very well maintained park and museum, very professional and pleasant staff.

A magnificent, must-see place in Vienna! There are priceless works to be seen. For the wire-cut tickets, it was indicated that they had to be exchanged. In the end, exchange was not necessary. It's important to keep to the timetable. We booked for 10:30 and couldn't get in before then. Nice experience.

You can visit Upper Belvedere with no problems at all. Reserve the slot you prefer and enjoy Klimt's Kiss
Unexpected, large piece of land preserved in the city, easy to get to using the tram
Avoided lines and saved significantly. Experience to be repeated

Virtually everything, Klimt's kiss in particular.

Very easy to book and pay and all went well at the visit, which was a wonderful experience, loved the Belvedere and the glorious paintings there, including of course The Kiss!
The museum is really well done beyond the important works on display, the whole structure is well articulated, even the bathrooms are exceptionally well maintained for a museum visited by so many people on a daily basis. I only find it dysfunctional, the fact that you have to specify when buying tickets the time of entry, which can create some difficulties especially if you book a bit in advance, otherwise unmissable museum. We visited the upper part, which is definitely the most interesting one

The art when the crowds parted. I found the art on the second floor the center of the visit. The park surrounding the building didn't really add to the experience.
The tickets were easy and immediately ready for use. The Belvedere grounds themselves are amazing and the palace itself is incredible. The displays were great and obviously I was there primarily to see Gustav Klimt's The Kiss but he has many other works there. There are also oueces from Monet and Rodin. Loved it!
The Upper Belvedere is well worth a visit. I really appreciated taking the audioguide. The information was very interesting. Don't bother showing up earlier than the time of your visit, they won't accept you. My favorites: Sonja Knips painted by Klimt and Homage to Jacquin by Johann Knapp. Real beauties 😍 First experience with Headout. High praise indeed. Tickets available offline in the app, email reminders of events. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to do business with them again!

We walked to the Upper Belevede. I wish that show on Gustav Klimt at the lower Belvedere Place was part of the information when we booked the trip. I would have spent the time at the lower Belvedere.
Positive experience. Beautiful paintings, including Klimt's famous Kiss in a magnificent palace. Not too many visitors, pleasant visit. We recommend it!

The exhibition on Klimt and the way the information on his art and his era was presented.

The ticket access was very good and easy to use. Just check the tickets you book are for the same day( of seeing both on the same day) - this is not automatically done as we had two different days for the upper and lower somehow and had to pay for access to the lower palace again .
We had bought tickets in advance so we got in the line right away. We posed for the photos first and bought one as a cute souvenir. The wheel is great fun, you can get a great view of Vienna from the top, and the cars are very safe! We both enjoyed it very much.
The Belvedere Upper Palace premises and collections are fantastic. Our e-tickets were delivered on time and the instructions to get to the entrance there were clear What we did not enjoy was the queues system to enter the Palace. The day we visit it was raining, the queues were moving slowly and behind the scheduled times. We were to start our scheduled queue several minutes after the due time and spend more than 20 minutes under the rain. I understand that weather in Vienna is often rainy, so may be the Palace crew would consider providing a removable canopy or awning for the people in line

An exhilarating open-air experience awaits you on the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel’s Platform 9—standing on an open-air glass floor instead of inside a cabin. Secured by harnesses, you'll rotate with the wheel and take in wide views of Vienna, with the unique feeling of floating above the city.
Visit the Panorama Museum, which offers a look at 2,000 years of Vienna’s history through artistic and audio exhibits. Set inside eight former carriages of the Ferris wheel, it also showcases the story of the Ferris Wheel, including its construction, cultural role, and connection to Prater.
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind private meal in one of the Ferris wheel’s special cabins, savoring each course as the carriage slowly ascends and descends above the city. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a fun gathering with friends, the cosy atmosphere and ever-changing views of Vienna’s skyline make it an experience unlike any other.
The Wiener Riesenrad, along with Prater amusement park, where it is located, has been the star of various films such as “The Third Man”, “Woman In Gold”, “Before Sunrise”, and the James Bond film “The Living Daylights”. With its iconic status, the Ferris Wheel is an instantly recognizable landmark and has become the symbol of Vienna.
