This is a classic European city center - lots of people, lots of shopping and eating places. An extremely pleasant place during the evening (when it is not too hot during summer months). Just have to be aware of billings when the establishment tries to con that it would be better to charge in US $ if you are from... More

Never seen stained glass like you'll find in this cathedral. Has a very interesting effect on the inside of the church. Don't miss.

The nice thing about Stephansplatz is that you can see St Stephan's from anywhere and everything is close by. The bad thing about Stephansplatz is that you can see St Stephan's everywhere so you can't really judge how far away you are. But once you get there, it seems like everything is just a few steps away. Which is actually... More

This is a lovely little area around the Cathedral and with good shopping. The horses and carriages are a bonus and worth the ride. Even though very expensive. It is a do once idea. Set price and no negotiations.

We enjoyed this area so much that each night we went back either to eat or shop. The food and vendors kiosk around St Stephan's were excellent! The historical area just wonderful!

This area and for blocks around is interesting to look at. Buildings and people. Look for the little details in the architecture. I found that it is like little secrets.

The area around Stephansplatz is the very old section of Vienna, with winding streets, and all the mystery and charm of an ancient city. At night, the façade of the church is lit up and really is quite breathtaking. There were vendors in stalls in the area next to the church, and the entire area is quite busy with people... More

You have to go because this is old Vienna, but crowded and full of guys trying to sell you concert tickets and souvenir shops.

The church was amazing. The plaza was very busy as some sort of local event was occurring. We really enjoyed St Peter and the organ concert which was just down the street.
