Tour description:
The St. Stephen’s cathedral is one of Vienna’s most iconic attractions and most important sites. After entering through its main gates and admiring its beauty, your eyes will be irresistibly drawn to the many symbols and signs on its medieval walls. Although some of these signs can no longer be clearly deciphered, the stories of some of the symbols and their meaning is known to us. The cathedral is a witness of our history and culture and much can be learned through the countless details which make its decoration. Nothing is accidental about this ancient church, every detail has its purpose and its meaning- altars, gates, towers, figures and pictures. Join us for a fascinating two-hour Stephansdom walking tour, mostly inside the cathedral but also outside. The church’s entrance fee is included in the ticket price.
Tour highlights:
- Stephansplatz and the cathedral from the outside
- Inside Stephansdom
- Hidden symbols, signs and statues and their fascinating stories
And much much more!
