We found this Cathedral breathtaking. The expanse and intricacy of the work done on the church is difficult to fully comprehend and certainly worth seeing. It is easy to understand why it is such an icon of Austria. We didn't go to the catacombs and we are sorry we missed it. This would be a must do on our next... more

Stephansdom is kind of a "must do" in Vienna - is it located downtown and is really a beautiful Cathedral. It's easy to get there on the mass transit system - there's a stop right there and once you come up the stairs, you're literally at the entrance to Stephansdom. The greatest thing about Stephansdom is the elevator that you... more

Stephansdom is a must see in Vienna. It has excellent views from the tower and the crypt tour should not be missed. Entry to Stephansdom is free, but the crypt and tower require additional payment. This is perhaps the most interesting crypt I have seen in a cathedral anywhere, and includes partial burial of Austrian royalty and mass graves of... more

Wow. Roof is amazing to see and the church isn't bad either! Lots to see. One of the few churches I've been in which allows photos to be taken. I didn't do the tour but even without you get really good views of the inside. I'd probably recommend the Tour, though, because there is so much to see on each... more

This spectacular cathedral sits in the heart of Vienna.....many centuries old, it was being renovated when I was there in October/November/December of 2001. It is the symbol of Vienna. The plaza surrounding it, and many of the nearby streets, are closed off to vehicle traffic, and the "stephansdom" area is a wonderful and gorgeous area to walk around at and... more
