But whether you were coming from the airport or going to the Belvedere, you’ll have noticed right away that the cliché of Austrian efficiency, courtesy, and cleanliness is actually true: Sure, Vienna may be a small city, but it’s remarkably well run, safe, and navigable. Inside, there are some good contemporary exhibits, but most people come here for the permanent collection, which includes works by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt (about whom more later), including The Kiss (43-1-795-57-134).

Built as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663–1736) and now a museum, it comprises two palaces (Upper and Lower Belvedere) set in a series of beautifully manicured Baroque gardens that make for a lovely stroll in the spring and fall. If yesterday afternoon, you may have taken a five-minute taxi ride to the Belvedere Palace and Gardens, right outside the city. If yesterday evening, you probably collapsed.
We’ll get to the matter of the meal later, but just to recap where you’ve been: Depending on where you started stateside, you arrived in the city either yesterday afternoon or yesterday evening.
It’s 12:30 and you’re sitting down to lunch at one of the city’s iconic restaurants, Zum Schwarzen Kameel, just a ten-minute walk from the Hotel Sacher, where you’ll be staying.
