Our trip begins at the Belvedere Palace, home to ‘The Kiss’ and ‘Judith’, the highlight pieces from the Golden Period. ‘The Kiss’ is a must-see attraction in the city, starting the tour from here allows us to delve into the background and inspiration of Klimt’s art.

Following this, we will navigate to the exhibition gallery of the Secession to appreciate Klimt’s grandest painting, the ‘Beethoven Frieze’. As the sole artwork by Klimt specifically designed as immersive, this presents a unique opportunity to truly experience art.

Additionally, we will review Klimt’s landscape paintings, appreciating his artistry and wrapping up our comprehensive exploration of his artistic legacy.
