OJ BratApril 17, 2016Landmarks can sometimes be hard to in Vienna. Everywhere you look, you'll witness incredible architecture. However, this majestic roman-gothic masterpiece is absolutely unmistakable. A must visit.

The TelegraphNovember 14, 2012Be among the first of the day to enter Vienna’s landmark gothic cathedral. Those with a head for heights should climb the 343 steps for fabulous views from the top of the south tower (€3.50/£2.80).Upvoted Mar 16- Gabi BulumacAugust 15, 2014The Symbol of Vienna ......you simply cannot visit Vienna without seeing St. Stephen's Cathedral ,gothic atmosphere and the Baroque High Altar is absolutely stunning !
Bogdan D.November 29, 2018Beautiful restored medieval romanesque cathedral with many ghotic elements - a masterpiece in the heart of Vienna; every few days, great concerts are being held here; many extra things to visit here;
Cojocariu MihaiNovember 4, 2018Nice view over the city, better than the wheel, in my opinion, as this is in the touristic downtown area. Has an interesting interior and history/design also. A must visit overall
Kalle RAugust 30, 2020The must visit place when in Vienna. Beautiful and ugly at the same time. Lots of touristy places around it, but within short walk you can find very nice places to eat and drink.
MuratJune 18, 2018Centrally located in heart of OldTown, in middle of PedestranianStreet. Impressive, beautiful, one of the must-visit spots. Roof has special eagle image. Possible catch a horse-carriage just in front.
muttibeyOctober 20, 2023I mean it is massive and amazing. The entrance is free but some parts such as underground and tower is subject to fee but it is definitely worth seeing.
Dhyani MargaAugust 28, 2019Free admissionon the side area, if you want to see the praying area you need to buy ticket (inside on the left there’s a booth) and there’s special time that will be written on the board.
Krisztián VértesApril 13, 2016Beautiful cathedral with free entry, a popular destination down town so prepare for crowds every time of the day though!
Katerina KaterinaJuly 17, 2013The view is absolutely great! But the main disadvantage is huge amount of dark uncomfortable stairs. So if you are not good at sport, just go strait to the opposite Northen tower with the elevator)))
Fluying ✅January 2, 2017The main nave is open for tourists Mon-Sat 9:00-11:30 & 13:00-16:30, Sun 13:00-16:30. Base ticket is recommended.
Vienna's most famous landmark... you can actually climb inside the spire, not just take the lift to the big bell, did you know that?
Tasos LazaridisAugust 8, 2015Every route leads here. Free wifi. You cant miss the cathedral while visiting Wien. Free entrance but you need 5,5 euros to take the lift to the roof
thpsychoFebruary 8, 2016Breath taking view from the top and you get to see the details of the building while on the way to the top
Amaury JJune 7, 2017Breathtaking cathedral in the center of Vienna. Free entrance. Definitely worth a visit.
Judie StanfordSeptember 12, 2015Pay for the treasury tour and you'll get a fab higher level view of the cathedral interior without a crowd.
Geo DiamSeptember 13, 2015One of the must of vienna sights!! the view from the top is stunning !! you can try the elevator instead of the 343 steps.
Matthew CaldecuttDecember 26, 2015This is an active church so time your visit accordingly or you'll be in the back until after mass.
Julia KryvomazJanuary 3, 2018Huge monumental building. Must see if in Vienna. Better to go up the tower to get a view on the city center
Pelin DuraFebruary 26, 2015buy a all inclusief ticket, definitly worth it! it will take you back to the history of the church and the design
ViennaInfoMarch 22, 2012St. Stephen's Cathedral, the heart of Vienna and Austria's most eminent Gothic edifice, houses a wealth of art treasures. Read more
LobsterJuly 31, 2017The Church is beautiful from the outside, inside it is chock full of pushy tourists with not a lot to see. Compared to other churches in Europe it's not so worthwhile to venture inside
Alejandro Martinez FarinaJanuary 14, 2018Awesome Gothic architecture, you can enter one part for free and is in tje whole city center.
Nicole TsengOctober 3, 2017North Tower is outdoors, has a better view AND an elevator. Even if you want the exercise, skip the South Tower. Way anticlimactic.
MEININGER HotelsApril 7, 2014ust like the great ferries wheel the St Stephan’s cathedral in the city center is one of Vienna’s famous landmarks.
Sebastiaan 🐧January 10, 2017If you're climbing the tower, bring something to drink for when you get to the panorama room.
Danica SretenovicSeptember 26, 2017Worth visiting, especially when there is music performance in cathedral itself
Thomas PfuellerSeptember 10, 2017More impressive from the outside than the inside at least if you have seen curches and cathedrals in Italy and Spain.
Grazyna OAugust 13, 2014Beautiful church. Unfortunately crowded with grown-ups who could not be quite when I visited it. Maybe a good idea to visit it early when they open.
After so many years, I still love walking on Stephansplatz so much! This place is one of the best things about Vienna!
Edward RoozeboomMay 25, 2015It's impressive to see from the inside and outside, but the tours are a bit messy. Nonetheless, worth a visit!
Salil SabhlokOctober 24, 2015Majestic.. Do take the elevator to the top of the church to get the overview of Vienna..- Meredith HullFebruary 10, 2015Breathtakingly beautiful cathedral in the heart of Vienna. Seemed to be €5.50 to get to the top now
Büşra ULApril 13, 2015It is the landmark of Vienna and a must-see for tourists. P.S. It looks like it's made of lace. ☺️
Luke NeillDecember 17, 2019Lots of steps to the top of the tower and a very tight staircase, two way traffic can be dangerous
Ghazal NkzSeptember 4, 2018This is an exclusive example of gothic architecture and a must when in Vienna
Johannes SteudleDecember 11, 2016Very nice church, there's no entrance fee so just have a look inside!
- Richard NAugust 9, 2017Walk the 340 steps up South Tower and look down at the tourists taking the lift to the lower North Tower
