The Belvedere is not only a magnificent Baroque palace but also houses one of Austria's most valuable art collections – with key works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. The heart of the Belvedere collection is formed by the 24 paintings of Gustav Klimt with his golden images "The Kiss".

Day 2 morning: 

• Walking Tour “1000 reasons to love Vienna” with Artissimi

This walking tour through the city takes you to former purveyors to the court. These shops, where the splendor of the Austrian monarchy has survived to this day, are still very much alive. A good example of this is the shop of the former purveyor to the court, Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe, whose beautiful textiles await the royal family today, just as they did centuries ago. Or the world-famous jeweler A. E. Köchert, which is run and managed by the sixth generation of the Köchert family. One of the most exclusive tours: And because it is about artissimi, we are of course also invited to take a look behind the scenes.

• Lunch

Lunch either at Tian Restaurant Wien, a vegetarian restaurant in a class of its own. Chef Paul Ivic has cooked his way to four toques and a Michelin star with his creative dishes in the meat-free gourmet temple. Or at Clementine im Glashaus, the restaurant at Palais Coburg with european and mediterranean kitchen.

Day 3 morning:

• Option A: Dance class

Vienna is the world’s capital of music. One of its most sought-after “export goods” is the Viennese Waltz, the dance in three quarter time that waltz king Johann Strauss triumphantly took across the globe. Being able to dance a waltz is a skill that everybody should master before going to a ball in Vienna. Take a class at Tanzschule Hernals - Grossmann, at Tanzschule Elmayer or at Tanzschule Rueff.

• Option B: Vienna Gold Workshop

Gold is more than a metal. Gold is history, art, religion—and gold is love. Gold’s enigmatic qualities and its unique value have always captured people’s imaginations. Starting with Gustav Klimt’s Kiss we peer over the artist’s shoulder and find out how the masterpieces from his Golden Period were created. This is followed by working with this iconic metal in the studio and embellishing a unique souvenir with delicate gold leaf. A hands-on workshop for all those who like to try something new and wish to combine looking at art with their own creativity.
