Full description
St. Stephen’s Cathedral is one of the most beautiful Romanesque-Gothic churches in the world, and a treasure trove of Austria’s imperial heritage. On this walking tour of Vienna you will discover the cathedral’s fascinating history, imperial connections, architecture and art with an Expert Guide. Discover the icon!

Book a 2-hour private tour of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and Vienna’s Old Town. This option includes entrance tickets to the cathedral, giving you access to its 18 altars, the Máriapócs Icon, pulpit and chapels (without the Towers). Your Expert Guide will show you interesting details on the cathedral’ exterior architecture, such as its ornately patterned, richly coloured roof and the Giant’s Door, and its awe-inspiring interior. You will learn about St. Stephen, the cathedral’s patron, and notable people who got married or had funerals here, from the members of the imperial House of Habsburg to famous musicians such as Mozart and Vivaldi. You will also get to see the nearby St. Peter’s Church, the Column of Pest, and other highlights of the Old Town.

Choose the 3-hour option to book a round-trip transfer by private car with pickup & drop-off at your accommodation. This option includes a 2-hour guided tour of St. Stephan’s Cathedral and nearby sights, and an estimated 1-hour transfer (both-ways). Our Local Driver will pick you up in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle suitable for the size of your group.

Book an extended 2,5-hour of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and Vienna’s Old Town to enhance your experience with a climb up the cathedral’s North and South Towers. This option includes the all–inclusive ticket to all paid parts of St. Stephan’s Cathedral. The High Tower (South Tower) offers amazing views over the Old Town from 136,4 meters high. The unfinished North Tower is much smaller at 68.3 meters high, but it’s worth the climb to see the largest bell in Austria, the ‘Pummerin’. Don't miss out!
