1. The front of the Upper Belvedere Palace. The building now hosts a museum with a mind-boggling selection of Gustav Klimpts (you have probably seen the prints: here are the originals), plus some devastating Egon Schieles, some intriguing Oskar Kokoschas, to say nothing of a sprinkling of Van Goghs, Renoirs, Emil Noldes, Frances Legers, and others. And that's just on the first floor of three! |
2. From the front of the Upper Belvedere, looking down across the formal garden to the Lower Belvedere, another one of Prince Eugene's cribs. |
3. Ornamentation in the Belvedere Gardens |

Looking down the Kohlmart toward the Michaeltrakt, at the southern entrance to the Hofsburg, the immense hulk that was the former home of the Hapsburg |
In additional to being a city of churches, Vienna is also a city of scantly-clad ladies: everywhere you look someone is baring their body parts; I am referring here only to statues of course. This is another view of the Michaeltrakt, one of the entrances to the Hofsburg |
