St Stephen's Cathedral
attractions
Interior overall
Don't miss the Stone Pulpit (exquisitely carved), the Altars (especially the High and the Wiener Neustadt altars), and the many other precious artworks.
South Tower
It is one of Vienna's most beloved icons. It rises as high as a modern 40-story building, an amazing engineering feat for a virtual-stand-alone 15th-century steeple.
Roof
St Stephen's Cathedral's steep-sloped roof is blanketed with colorful multi-hued glazed tiles set in striking geometric patterns.
Other major St Stephen's Cathedral attractions include
North Tower
Though half as high as the South Tower, it, too, offers a stellar panoramic view of Vienna and beyond. Unlike the latter, it has an elevator.
Catacombs
View royal tombs and piles of commoner bones.
Heathen Towers
They are 900 years old.
