    IMPORTANT: You DO NOT need tickets for entry. There are people who are asking people to pay for entry or leave because they "don't have tickets". They are scammers. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!!!!! It's probably one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the entire world. Excellent architecture. However, it is extremely crowded. Best photos are to be taken outside.

    One of the most beautiful churches and it has access to the rooftop where you can see all Vienna.. it was breathtaking with all the details and the beautiful melodies! You must visit it if it’s your first time in Vienna! There are plenty of charming streets crossing the church, so don’t forget to check them out too.

    Very very stunning church in the heart of the city. Made it there during mass in the evening, but will definitely be going back today to get the feel of the place during the day. Amazing architecture from both inside and outside. It’s jaw dropping. And it has such an amazing/positive/calming energy. The is no entrance fee to the church itself but if you wanna climb the tower and its 300+ steps or to see the catacombs you need to pay. Will add an update after I do the tours today.

    St. Stephan’s Cathedral is awesome - seriously, you can’t get to a better location in Vienna if you tried! This is the center of it all - it’s a huge old church with a colorful roof and four towers built in the 12th century. You can see the whole city from the top and if you have the time, I would definitely recommend it (we didn’t have the time but people kept telling us to do it, so I am assuming they know what they’re talking about). The inside is full of art and history, and supposedly even some Roman ruins from what I’ve heard?! The square around it is always fun and busy - it is PACKED during the day. However, at night, it clears out and gets super peaceful! The surrounding area has a plethora of wonderful restaurants, shops, activities, and so much more. In December, there is even a Christmas market at the base of the church! If you’re looking for a great place to stay, check out The Leo Grand, and if you’re wanting a good place to eat, well…you’re in Vienna. There are a billion great options! This is a must-visit in the city!

    I recommend you to take all in one ticket. You can buy it inside, go to the left and you will see the entry to the South Tower. Buy a ticket and go to the North tower. To get there, go out and walk around the church to the left side. You will see the entry to the North tower. It was not easy to get to the top, pretty narrow staircase corridor and long way up. The reason why you should go to this tower first because it closes earlier (see photo). You can observe night city from the South tower only.

    I had the opportunity to go inside and check out this incredibly historic cathedral located in the city centre of Vienna. Both the inside and outside of the cathedral are stunning and picturesque. It is free to enter the church but there is also certain areas of the church that you need too pay to enter. I definitely could have spent more time in here and would definitely do it again when in Vienna and definitely recommend stepping inside if you haven’t at least once for a few minutes. At the time we we’re here it was mid November and there was a large Christmas market set up in the city center and we were wondering around on the evening when the area was most lively. Definitely wish to come back in the future.

    We climbed 343 steps to go to the top of the south tower, the steps were narrow. and it is 2-way traffic.. so sometimes have to stop a while for the other to pass through. Nice view at the top. Need to purchase tickets if you wish to go to the top.

    Totally worth visiting it's free to enter. We visited in the evening and it was almost empty likely because tour groups go in the morning. The amazing detail in these buildings is always amazing and something worth experiencing. You can enjoy it inside and out.

    One of the main attractions of Vienna that you must visit. I recommend buying the All-Inclusive ticket to get the best deal if you plan to get to everything the Cathedral holds (Cathedral Audio Guide, North Tower, South Tower, Catacombs guided tour). The architecture and the tower views are extraordinary. The north tower is accessible by an elevator which makes it very accessible, on the other hand, for the south tower, you should be able to climb the 343 stairs in spiral form (effort + increased chance of dizziness), but it is worth it. The audio guide inside the attraction is available in a variety of languages, so be sure that you check with the info desk if it has your native language. We've been pleasantly surprised to find out they had a Romanian audio guide available. The catacombs guided tower is not the wicked experience you would get from a classic "catacomb", but it is worth it. Note: It was only possible to pay cash-only for the tickets.

    Wow. I'll be yet another person to add a 5* review to this magnificent church! Stunning in its exterior, the beauty manages to extend to its interior. We made it during a mass which was great to experience and then visited again in the evening. Let the pictures speak as opposed to my review, and in reality, if you're in Vienna you're probably going to visit :) Ultimately, my only gripe is that they only accept cash for tours.

    Incredibly beautiful place. You can enter the cathedral for free, for 5.5€ you can climb the tower and enjoy the views of the city. Currently, a Christmas market is open near the cathedral, where you can try local delicacies and buy souvenirs (only cash is accepted at this market).

    Beautiful Cathedral in central Vienna. While you do not have to pay to enter the church, there is a fee to tour the entire inside of the church. The line was too long the day we arrived, so we did not visit everything. Still beautiful and can take great photos from the free area.

  • 5/5 Subhasis D. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most visited place in the central Vienna, standing tall with absolute beauty on its look. The top part of the cathedral has mozaic/tiles design which I never seen in any cathedrals/churches so surely unique. Inside beauty is also well preserved. Loads of tourists around on normal daytime, so plan accordingly if you wish to avoid huge rush. Lot of souvenir n Austrian delicacy shops around.

    We loved St. Stephen’s! We decided to buy tickets to the catacomb tour and the South Tower and we felt that we saw plenty. I think we spent about 10€ per person total to see both. We loved the catacombs tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of information about the catacombs. It was very in depth and in both German and English. You pay at the end of the tour in cash (they have change). The south tower was quite a trek - not for the faint of heart or claustrophobic. The stairs are very narrow and you end up walking past people going the opposite way. It gets very hot as well, so I’m not sure I’d recommend going on a hot day. We went on a rainy day and it was cooking, but thankfully the windows at the watch tower were open with a nice breeze to cool down at. You pay for tickets at the entrance of the South Tower.

    Probably the most beautiful cathedral I yet been! Inside and outside. It is free to enter it but you have to pay a ticket for the catacombs and the towers and for walking deeper in the building. The guide if the catacombs was very good but the group was very big and we couldn’t enjoy the tour as much. One of the towers has an elevator but the lady working there is VERY rude. The other tower has steps but a much more polite employee. You can use the ticket to continue yous visit at another day.

    A truly must see. Such a spectacular design and the architecture is breathtaking. Photos really don’t do it justice. The square surrounding the church gets quite busy, especially during the December holidays.

    Beautiful interior design. We paid to go up the South Tower (taller one) 136m. Good exercise and you can view the city of Vienna from the top. Must do this especially when it is a nice blue sky day in Vienna.

  • 5/5 Costas A. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't forget to get a combo ticket for 16euros (adults) which includes audio tour of the Cathedral, a guided tour at the catacombs and entry to North and South towers.. It's free to enter just in the church but I recommend to explore all of its sections. I personally didn't like the South tower. It has good views but tiring with 343 steps and you watch the views through a glass which there is also a souvenir shop. If you limited on time don't bothered. The North tower its kind of open and you take a lift and also has the biggest bell in Austria. At the catacombs no photos or video recording is allowed.

    Amazing place! You can visit upstairs and enjoy an increíble view, just by entering you can admire all the details. There are also some concerts during the nights where you can enjoy classical music. A must see from Vienna

    The cathedral is beautiful inside. If you happen to visit during mass hours you will hear some beautiful singing and the church organ in action. We only went up the North Tower which is accessible by elevator for 6e. The view was interesting as you get to see the impressive roof from above plus the city. Recommended if you don't have to wait more than 10mins for the elevator. Otherwise, the city has more impressive things to spend your time on.

    Exploring the cathedral, I was in awe of the historical and cultural significance contained within its walls. The beautifully preserved chapels, altars, and tombs serve as a testament to centuries of religious devotion and artistic expression. The magnificent pipe organ, renowned for its powerful and melodic tones, adds a musical dimension that resonates deep within your soul. The cathedral's intricate Gothic architecture is truly a sight to behold. The towering spires, intricate stonework, and magnificent stained glass windows create a visual masterpiece that transports you to a bygone era. Every detail, from the ornate sculptures to the delicate filigree, showcases the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who brought this remarkable building to life.

    Check times. Closed for tourists during mass. Free entry but pay for central bit and catacomb tour. Very busy when we went around 13.30. It is truly subjective as it does depend on how much churches and cathedrals you’ve visited. We have visited too many I think especially the ones in Italy and even in England, hence this was a bit underwhelming. Gothic design. Tick. Ornate carvings. Tick. Not all of the outside has been cleaned which is authentic I think. We could see how history and time have affected it. Black soot/smoke from centuries gone. One thing to commend it for being different - amazing roof!! That, I love. ❤️

Windows were locked and small also each side have one telescope which not working .stairs so narrow hard to go up and come down …

    Beautiful cathedral! The view from above is worth all the effort to climb the narrow staircase with 343 steps. The acoustics inside is fantastic. If you manage to attend to a concert, consider yourself a lucky ! The cathedral choir is very good!

    Stunning building, so beautiful! It was mass during my quick visit but we could stand at the back quietly. I felt very uneasy outside the cathedral though, as a solo female traveller I didn’t feel comfortable at all. People coming up to me, one man dropped to his knees directly outside the main door seemingly asking for money. I would love to explore more inside.

    This is a must see for Vienna! The architecture is stunning. Once you’re inside the cathedral it is totally majestic and grand. My 69 yo father and I climbed Stephansdom South Tower - 343 steps in total. The views from the top were grand. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic architecture, a must see while visiting Vienna. Extremely easy to access by means of transport, the cathedral is the jewel of the city, with free access to it's great, majestic interior as well. I believe it is closed during night hours, but during the day, and due to the lack of admission, the queue goes really quick.

  • 5/5 Deepanshu S. 2 months ago on Google • 182 reviews New
    The center of Vienna's Aldstadt and one of the oldest (dating back to the 12th century) and most important religious buildings in Vienna. Though this place can be a bit crowded, once you get inside the dome, it's really peaceful and mesmerizing. I also purchased a €6.50 ticket to climb 354 steps to the top, and the views from there were amazing. It's a must-visit place when you are visiting Vienna, irrespective of your religion.

    The Pestsaule is a Plague Column erected after the Great Plague epidemic in 1679. As with most types of columns like this in Central Europe, the column takes the form of a Trinity Column. The column is a fine example of a particularly rich Baroque style monument The column is roughly divided into three parts, from top to bottom featuring the Holy Trinity, Angels and Saints, finally at the bottom, the parts of Austro-Hungary and Leopold I giving thanks. Worth going out of the way to see this monument, such is it’s richness, it would not be out of place in a cathedral.

    The St. Stephen's Cathedral is an amazing experience! You must visit this cathedral when you are visiting Vienna! Make sure you take your time to check every part of this cathedral. You can visit the cathedral, the South and North tower, and the catacombs. We have visited the cathedral and the North tower (Pummerin). The view from the North tower is amazing! You have beautiful view of Vienna, it’s a must see! The Cathedral entrance fee is 6 euro for adults and 2.5 euro for kids 14 and under. The Tour of the catacombs entrance fee is 6 euro for adults and 2.5 euro for kids 14 and under. The South Tower entrance fee is 5.5 euro for adults and 2.5 euro for kids 14 and under. The North Tower (Pummerin) entrance fee is 6 euro for adults and 2.5 euro for kids 14 and under. Or an All-inclusive-Ticket fee is 16 euro for adults and 5 euro for kids 14 and under.

    My eyes where astonished, my heard beated really fast, my knee cried in agony while I saw this place. I owe to NOT reccomend this place to people who have arthritis, knee pain or have any orthopedic surgery before. You have to walk more than 300 stairs in the most tight staircase, to see the whole city through windows. Ouch! Otherwise that's unarguably an exceptional place to visit.

    Will admit I can't give it a thorough rating just walked in and looked around. Yep it's a cathedral. You can pay to go in a bit further, check out the crypt or go up the spires. If you have never done this the prices don't seem outrageous and it seems a nice cathedral. If you have then you know. The coolest part for me was actually walking around it out back and seeing the roof which was pretty unique.

    Beautiful cathedral,, In center of Vienna,, It’s free to go inside, but you can pay a fee to go up the north tower and have a great view of Vienna,, Besides the cathedral, there are some horse and carriage rides that you may rent for a magnificent ride for around 50 euros,,

    St. Stephen's Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece that left me in awe. The intricate details of its Gothic design, including the stunning stained glass windows and towering spires, are truly captivating. The interior is equally impressive, with its majestic altar and historical artifacts. Climbing the South Tower was a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Vienna. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers!

    Quite a stunning cathedral, especially from the outside. You can visit the interior for free. You can also take a lift to the top of the north tower for €6 (cash only) which gives you good views over the northern part of Vienna. You can also pay €5.50 to visit the south tower which offers views over the whole of Vienna, although be aware that it involves climbing a lot of stairs in a spiral staircase. I am deducting one star due to the lack of cashless payment options.

    Amazing cathedral! This cathedral is one of the highlights of the city. The exterior is very beautiful (especially the Eagle on the roof) and interior is also really impressive. Going inside is free of charge but if you want to go further or to the catacombs there is a charge.

  • 5/5 Joseph R. 6 months ago on Google
    This was an incredibly interesting and beautiful place to visit. There are several options for tickets, we chose the € 20 all inclusive per person one. This allows a visit to the Cathedral itself plus both the North and South towers. One has an elevator and the other over 300 steps.Even though we could access both, we went with the elevator. The view was fantastic, both of the city and the rest of the Cathedral. Then we had a guided tour of the crypt, absolutely brilliant and a great tour guide. The tour was in German and English and highly worth taking. I would highly recommend this tour and if at all possible, try to be there for 10 am at least before the crowd.This part of Vienna is incredibly busy with tourists.. Also tickets are not available online and must be purchased in person in the Cathedral. This is cash only, as is the gift shop.

    Had a quick stop at this gorgeous cathedral, returning after 15 years. The entrance was for free unless you wanted to visit the tower. The architecture is mind-blowing. Definitely stop by if you're in Vienna, it's one of the most spectacular cathedrals. It's located right to a subway/metro station, easy to reach.

    Cathedral vision and architecture is incredible in Europe and this cathedral is no exception. Climbing up 373, narrow stairs to the top of the cathedral is also challenging, but worthwhile as it gives you bird’s eye view of Vienna from 4 different windows.

    St. Stephen's Cathedral is considered to be Vienna's most important Gothic building. St. Stephen's Cathedral is located in the historic center of Vienna since 1722. It's also very close to St. Peter's Catholic Church and the Wien Museum Mozart apartment and the Concerts in Mozart's House.

    The must-see spot of Vienna. A majestic temple and a spacious area full of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. Some of the best hotels of Vienna are to be found in the area. So many people pass by and it is amazing how clean this place stays! You have to go inside the cathedral and admire its interior. If you consider yourself brave enough, you can climb up the around 400 stairs and you will get to one of the towers. The view of the city is breathtaking!

  • 5/5 Julia K. 4 years ago on Google
    The architecture blew my mind! It's so out-of-the-box. I recommend to visit in different times of day - in the evening you might listen to organ. And it worth climbing up to see the gorgeous views.

  • 5/5 Dēzija B. 3 years ago on Google
    The heart of Vienna city centre, at least for me. Majestic and beautiful, worth to see! Interesting fact - The cathedral dates back to the 12th century The initial foundation stone of Stephansdom dates all the way back to 1137. However, the rest of the building isn’t quite as old. After the foundation stone, the second oldest part of the cathedral is the main entrance door, which was created in 1263. Over the centuries, several towers, extensions and other additions were introduced to the building, designed to enhance and improve its classic gothic look. Have an amazing visit!

    Wonderful location with lots to do around it. In itself it rather a more religious place for people of Christian faith. They have small Christmas market there in winters that adds to the flavor of festivities. Some programs/shows/prayers/mass take place at the Cathedral around Christmas time that might be worth your time if you are into that.

  • 5/5 Leo B. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a very curious cathedral. It has elements of modern architecture, such as the mosaic on the roof, but at the same time is the oldest such cathedral on Europe! This can be explained in part because there was a reform after the world war. The result is a contrast between old and new styles. An example can be noticed by a difference in architecture between the side of main entry (less intricate, flatter) and the lateral (full of details), as I try to indicate in the pictures.

    (Translated by Google) Great church. Visitors to Vienna should not miss St. Stephen's Cathedral. Worth seeing also the view from the tower and also the treasury must be seen. Here, unique works of art and relics from past eras pile up. The entry is worth every penny. (Original) Tolle Kirche. Wer Wien besucht sollte den Stephansdom auf keinen Fall versäumen.

    Crkva u centralnom delu starog Beča. Na nemačkom se zove Stephansdom i najznačajnija je crkva u Beču i sedište bečkog Nadbiskupa. Crkva na ovom mesto datira još iz 12. veka, a ovaj oblik ima od 15. veka. Zanimljiva je priča sa kraja drugog svetskog rata, kada je katedrala bila „osuđena“ na rušenje od strane SS komande nemačkih snaga, koje su se povlačile pred Crvenom armijom. Zahvaljujući ljudskosti kapetana Gerharda Klinkichta, koji je odbio naređenje o rušenju, ovaj spomenik kulture i danas sačuvan. Ulaz u crkvu je besplatan i svakako je treba obići. Ispred crkve je veliki gradski trg na kojem se održavaju centralna gradska dešavanja.

    Beautiful cathederal and like many others in europe grew and expanded from its original 12th century originst to what you see from the 14th century today. It is wonderful to view from both inside and out. The glazed roof tiles are amazing and the gothic and romanesque architecture is visually impozing and a sign of the former wealth and power of the city. Some renovations occuring during our visit, but great to see them looking after such an architectural treasure.

    Another plague statue. This memorial is apparently one of the better known ones and contains a lot of symbology. (the netting is to keep the birds off the statue).

    nice monument in the middle of the square!

  • 4/5 Thea 4 years ago on Google
    This artwork is so meaningful and precious, both for its material and for its structure. The only thing that is quite unaesthetic is the net all above the column, which ruins the view of the statue. It's located in a beautiful central shopping street, full of high-fashion shops, enriching the area with it's beautiful presence.

  • 5/5 Stefan S. 5 years ago on Google
    An impressive piece of art in the center of Vienna. This baroque monument was built to commemorate the end of the great plague in Vienna in 1679, and shows emperor Leopold kneeling and praying to God. This is one of the most beautiful sculptures and definitely worth a visit.

    It's a gorgeous statue. It's sad what it stands for but they did a really good job. It was a really amazing sight to behold. The detailed work was just wow! Located close to the St.Stephan's Cathedral! Do remember to check it out if ever in Vienna!

    Beautiful view of the city from the tower. I really recommend to visit the tower. Not easy to climb to the top, but worth it. You can see the whole city from above. There is a small shop at the top, where you can buy some souvenirs.

  • 5/5 Nina S. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful cathedral with a long history. Worth a visit - inside there is an amazing, dark gothic atmosphere.

    This church is located next to one of the busiest streets in Vienna. In this street you can see the best brands of the modern world and next to it is the old church. The outer roof of the church is made of attractive colors that the eyes of every viewer He stares at himself.

    Gorgeous cathedral with Gothic architecture on the outside. Its €6 to go up the North Tower and get a beautiful panoramic view of a Vienna. Very worth it.

  • 5/5 Max K. 2 years ago on Google
    Here you can hear fascinating voice of old organ. For free. And the hard and low voice of Pummerin, the heaviest bell in Austria. There is an observation stage near the bell, so you can enjoy the view of old part of Vienna

  • 5/5 Chloe E. 2 years ago on Google
    A mesmerising cathedral. The view from the top is breathtaking, and you are able to see a lot of the city. There is a lift, so you don't have to go up lots of stairs. There is also a tour of the catacombs available

  • 4/5 Ilona 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Cathedral, great catacomb tour (no photos allowed during the catacomb tour btw) nice views from the tower. The only minus is that there is a covid vaccination point right inside the cathedral with big queue, making the place even more crowded.

  • 4/5 Mar C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely ecstatic! A wonder! Inside and outside. Only problem.. Located to the busiest shopping area "disrespects" monument's existence. Even worst when i visited there was a mobile commercial hanging fron Cathedrals one side. Dear capital Hands off monuments please !

  • 5/5 Sanja p. 2 years ago on Google
    This beautiful cathedral is one of the greatest landmarks of the city and the most important religious building in Vienna. It is monumental and has been a witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history. It has multi coloured tile roof and is a simbol of this great city. It has several chapels and altars. A must see place in Vienna!

  • 5/5 ESTEFANIA MANGLANO M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible and imprescindible. So nice place and beautiful cathedral. You can go up in a elevator and enjoy to look all city.

  • 5/5 Coco Q. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the most precious and a must-visit cathedral in Vienna. This place has the second largest chimed bell. The cathedral provides the best view from its 500 foot south tower. You will get the view of the entire city from here. There are also many music events in the evening time at the place. You will get to experience the 12th century gothic architecture and the large columns as well as the beautiful paintings of the saints. Be careful while you visit the south tower as it gets crowded and the stairs are narrow as well.

    I'm not religious, but I love all the gargoyle like statues all around the building! So cool! And I love the tile on the roof. Really pretty church!

  • 5/5 Expat B. 2 years ago on Google
    Both the trip to the top and to the dungeons are a mandatory visit if you stay in Vienna. The guide was funny and made a creepy visit to the grave of 11000 bodies kinda entertaining. And the view from the top, watching a big part of the city is also worth it, but be ready to walk all those steps.

  • 3/5 Conor L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cathedral in the centre of the city. -2 stars because staff were quite rude, I purchased an expensive ticket for all the attractions and found an angry man just shaking his head and waving his arms at the catacombs tour. He wouldn’t let anyone in, despite it being hours before the scheduled closing time. It’s also expensive for what it is, and they don’t take card. Cash only.

  • 4/5 Erika D. 2 years ago on Google
    Sooo beautiful! You don’t have to pay, only if you want a better view I think. Other than that I think it’s okay even without paying!

  • 5/5 Ahmet İhsan K. 2 years ago on Google
    I've seen many cathedrals, churches and several historical Catholic and Orthodox sanctuaries but this was probably the most impressive one. It's Gothic architecture and military role that played during the Austrian - Ottoman wars make it one of its kind.

  • 5/5 Christopher W. 2 years ago on Google
    What can one say? It’s an amazing building with a truly Romanesque and Gothic form cathedral from the 1300s. No doubt it is the most important religious building in Vienna.

  • 5/5 Claudia Ximena Mazo V. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols. 100% recommended!!!!

  • 5/5 Emily C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very neat cathedral in the heart of the downtown area (Stephansplatz) - worth it to buy a ticket and climb the 343 steps of the South Tower. There’s a small shop at the top and it’s enclosed but some windows are open for panoramic views of the city. You get a neat view of the tiled roof as well. After your visit, be sure to walk a couple blocks and swing by the Mozarthaus at least to see the sign from the outside - his only surviving residence in Vienna and gives a great view of the church as you walk back toward the direction of the train.

  • 5/5 Karatzogiannis C. 1 year ago on Google
    A real masterpiece! Huge but a sense of total calmness. Crowds o people around. Gothic style. I didn't manage to go to the roof. It's the center of the city.

  • 5/5 Nida F. 1 year ago on Google
    A classical cathedral in Europe, it is a must-see place if you visit Vienna. Entrance is free but only to some parts. I recommend you to visit it at early hours or late at night to have a better photo without many tourists around; it was my biggest challenge cause I like photos without others ☺️

  • 5/5 Vasilis K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the main attractions of Vienna that you must visit. I recommend to also visit the North Tower, South Tower and Catacombs. The architecture are extraordinary. The north tower is accessible by an elevator which makes it very accessible than the other one!

  • 5/5 Y R. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant architecture on the outside - especially the tiled roof. We climbed up the South tower which was 5.5EUR and over 300 spiral stairs to climb. View was great from the top through the windows with only one window open and a gift shop at the top and a bench to catch your breath after the climb.

  • 5/5 F D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice church in the city centre of Vienna, can be seen from most places, as the tower is quite tall. The inside is majestic and they still celebrate mass at different times of the day. There are tours that can be paid for but the entrance is usually free (or maybe it was because the mass was being celebrated)

  • 5/5 Jiak P. 11 months ago on Google
    Each time i walked past this structure, i would always admire the buidling in awe. The St Stephan Cathedral was such a magnificent structure and i often wondered how this was constructed in the past with limited technology. The interior of the cathedral was breathtaking and one would feel at peace immediately upon entry. While crowded, the place within was still relatively quiet enough for one to enjoy its tranquility.

  • 5/5 Dr. A. 10 months ago on Google
    A must visit and see in Vienna. This spiritual place has a mix of art, beautiful architecture and astonishing internal decoration and sculptures. I visited many times, day and night and during prayer time. The most wonderful time to visit is during prayers. I strongly recommend spending sometime inside appreciating the fantastic view.

  • 4/5 Jyo 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience. Try to go early after opening time to avoid too much crowd. This still is a operating church and people can pray. Take a tour upstairs and enjoy the city view. There is church's bell not in use. Also, there is a small souvenir shop too.

  • 4/5 T. M. 7 months ago on Google
    The church is incredibly stunning, with free entry and the option to light candles for just 1 euro. You're welcome to sit and offer a prayer if you'd like. However, there is a charge for going to the top or taking tours. Be cautious about purchasing opera or concert tickets at the entrance, as they could potentially be scams aimed at obtaining your credit card information.

  • 5/5 Jomkwan J. 7 months ago on Google
    I went to the Cathedral on Sunday morning, at 9 am. Thus, no need to wait to get ticket. I have no idea for things to do, so I got the Inclusive ticket for climbing the South tower (64 feet), elevator to North tower, Audio tour in Cathedral. The English tour is self-tour by scanning the QR code. The ticket includes the visit for Cathedral's trasurey, but cannot find the entrance. Overall, it is a recommended place for art and architecture.

  • 5/5 Maria Rita T. 5 months ago on Google
    You must visit this cathedral when you are in Vienna. It is the most beautiful church in the city and probably in Central Europe. The exterior of this gothic cathedral was build from 1300-1500. It used to have the highest church tower in the world, and when you enter this cathedral you will be amazed on how much effort the Viennese put in building this master piece. This church entry is free. But you can also visit some of the paid areas of the cathedral

  • 4/5 sagar m. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the best Cathedral I have ever seen. I was astonished to see it for the first time. It is huge as well as the level of detailing is great. I also went to north tower but that was a little disappointing after 250 steps I expected it to be open so that we can see complete city but it was all covered.

  • 5/5 Matthew W. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice view from the South Tower, but lots of spiral steps to get up to the top and it's a bit of a cramped space when someone else is coming up or down. Spend some time up there and enjoy the views and breeze. If you're a WW2 enthusiast, you can also see two old anti aircraft towers (concrete towers) from one of the views.

  • 5/5 Nelli M. 5 months ago on Google
    The cathedral of incredible beauty. You can visit some part of it free of charge, but to enjoy the whole beauty you need a ticket which will give you the adio guide with the very good information. Ee were lucky to hear the rehearsal of the chorus. It was magnificent!

  • 5/5 Laura M. 5 months ago on Google
    Worth the visit and if you’re lucky enough to hear their choir. Hard working Filipinos tend to gather for the last Mass on Sunday, which makes for a nice community activity. There’s a circular staircase of over 300 steps to the top where you can get a great view of the city.

  • 5/5 Liana P. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning cathedral and must-see in Vienna. There was no queue to enter but we waited around 15 mins to get the lift up to the top. What a beautiful roof (reminiscent of Alton castle back near my hometown but nowhere near as impressive!) And great views. Would definitely recommend paying the bit extra to get this different perspective from below.

  • 5/5 Michał K. 4 months ago on Google
    Wow, St. Stephen's Cathedral is incredibly impressive, its size is breathtaking. The beautiful Gothic building is a symbol of Vienna. From the cathedral tower is a wonderful view of the city, but I warn you, there are 343 stairs to climb and it is very narrow, but it is worth it, I went up in June at 36°C outside 🤣

  • 5/5 Beni P. 4 months ago on Google
    St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna is a majestic masterpiece that truly captures the essence of the city's rich history and architectural grandeur. The awe-inspiring spires and intricate details make it a must-visit landmark. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning stained glass windows and ornate decor. Whether you're drawn to its religious significance or appreciate remarkable craftsmanship, St. Stephen's Cathedral stands as a symbol of Vienna's cultural and spiritual heritage. A visit to this iconic site is a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the heart of Vienna's enchanting past.
