8. Take a royal walk through the palace grounds of Belvedere – Guide to Wieden

Built in the early 18th century, this former summer residence of some prince functions now as a modern exhibition hall slash palace museum that you can wander around in. There’s actually two parts to this palace – the Upper Belvedere and the Lower Belvedere. However, what we really love about this palace is its magnificent manicured gardens. They’re great for running, and they also neighbour onto the Botanical gardens, where you you continue you’re run. Or, If you’re looking for a way to feel extraordinary, do like we do – pretend to be some important prince, or princess from past days while strutting up and down the garden walkways, photobombing other people’s pictures and pronouncing random really long words with a royal accent.

Strictly speaking, most of the historical palace complex of Belvedere is located in Vienna’s third district, but some parts are still in the 4th (we’re talking ticket office and shop, for example), and that’s why it’s made it on our Guide to Wieden list. 😉
