It took more than 350 years for Vienna's main cathedral to be built, with kings and dukes adding extensions and spires. Since then, the Cathedral has seen some of the most notable events in Austria's history, with 72 members of the Habsburg dynasty buried in the church's catacombs, and the spires of the tower serving as a Viennese landmark.
Get access to it all with your combination ticket to St. Stephen's Cathedral & Dom Museum Wien, complete with an informative audio guide for St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Make sure to get a look at St. Stephen's ornate roof – decorated with 230,000 colored tiles to create the Habsburg double-headed eagle. Inside, you'll learn about the cathedral's importance to Vienna, journey underground to see catacombs that house some 11,000 dead, and climb the North and South Towers.
After absorbing the historic splendor of the interior, bring yourself back to the 21st century with a collection of contemporary artwork at Dom Museum Wien. The museum boasts a combination of old and new, including a portrait of Duke Rudolf IV which dates back to 1360, and is largely considered the oldest portrait of the Western World.
Combine St. Stephen's Cathedral with other Vienna favorites. Some things are better together.
