Parking available near the Belvedere Palace
Several underground garages and paid parking lots are located a short distance from the Belvedere Palace. The following table summarizes the most recommended options based on their location and current rates:
| Parking | Address | Approximate Rate |
|---|---|---|
| P+R Erdberg | Franzosengraben 2, 1030 Wien | €4.60 / day |
| Main Station Garage (Hauptbahnhof) | Gerhard-Bronner-Straße, 1100 Wien | €4.50 / hour |
| Garage Schwarzenbergplatz | Rennweg 5-9, 1030 Wien | €4.90 / hour |
| Garage Palais Schwarzenberg | Prinz Eugen-Straße 9, 1030 Wien | €4.90 / hour |
Although a person may try to park on the street, this option is neither free nor recommended. In Vienna, most districts (including Districts 3 and 4 surrounding the palace) are short-term parking zones (Kurzparkzone). These zones limit the maximum stay, generally to 2 hours, and require the use of prepaid tickets (Parkschein).
Additionally, numerous spaces remain reserved exclusively for residents and face strict monitoring. As one Facebook user indicates: “To be honest, it is difficult to find public parking spaces.”
A common strategy to save money comes from another recommendation by a Facebook user: “Let it outside of Vienna if you want not expensive.” This suggestion involves parking the vehicle in the peripheral areas of the city or in neighboring towns to avoid the expensive central rates. This method allows travelers to connect conveniently with the Belvedere Palace by using the S-Bahn suburban train network or the subway lines.
Parkings near Belvedere Palace for people with disabilities
Access for people with reduced mobility is regulated to ensure proximity to the main museum entrances. The Belvedere Palace has parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities located near the entrance at Arsenalstraße 1, in the Belvedere 21 area.
To use these reserved spaces, visitors should arrive with sufficient time as availability is limited. Once there, the visitor must show their disability card. If the visitor does not find a free space, the recommendation is to ask at the museum entrance about available spaces in nearby areas. Likewise, the person can contact the Belvedere Palace before their visit to check for space availability.
Furthermore, commercial garages in the area, such as the Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and the Garage Schwarzenbergplatz, provide reserved spaces with adapted dimensions and elevator access to the surface.
Vienna regulations offer significant benefits for holders of official credentials. According to one Facebook user’s experience: “We use the official Austrian disability parking tag (A6 size and laminated) and we can park in any public parking space, at any time and for free, with the tag in the front window on the driver’s side.” This rule allows unlimited parking in short-term zones (Kurzparkzonen) without the need to pay for a municipal ticket.
| Disability Parking Option | Address | Rate Details |
|---|---|---|
| Official Belvedere Space | Arsenalstraße 1, 1030 Wien | Free (with accreditation) |
| Main Station Garage (Hauptbahnhof) | Gerhard-Bronner-Straße, 1100 Wien | €4.50 / hour |
| Garage Schwarzenbergplatz | Rennweg 5-9, 1030 Wien | €4.90 / hour |
| Public Street (Any signposted zone) | Surrounding streets | Free (with official tag) |
How to get to Belvedere Palace
The Belvedere Palace complex mainly divides into three cultural and museum areas: Upper Belvedere and Lower Belvedere, or the Belvedere 21. Visitor can reach it by different means of transport:
On foot
The walk itself is enjoyable, giving you a feel for Vienna’s elegant architecture. But be aware of your surroundings, particularly the bike lanes. Vienna has an extensive cycling network, and tourists walking in bike lanes are a major source of friction with locals (and accidents).
- From the Opera House area (the Ring), it’s roughly a 30-minute walk. The route takes you past Schwarzenbergplatz, by the Soviet War Memorial, and then up along the street called Rennweg. One thing to keep in mind: this walking route naturally brings you to the Lower Belvedere entrance first.
- From Hauptbahnhof, you’re looking at about 15 minutes on foot to reach the Upper Belvedere, assuming you navigate your way out of that massive station efficiently.
Exact address of the Belvedere entrances
The official address of the Belvedere Palace is Prinz Eugen-Straße 27, 1030 Vienna, Austria. However, different access points exist depending on the specific destination:
- To visit the Upper Belvedere, the main entrance is at Prinz Eugen-Straße 27, 1030 Wien.
- The Lower Belvedere has its main access at Rennweg 6, 1030 Wien.
- The Belvedere 21 is located at Arsenalstraße 1, 1030 Wien.
- Finally, the gardens are accessible from both main palace entrances during opening hours.
