Highlights of The Historic Center of Vienna

Originally built in 12th century, the cathedral was being destroyed, rebuilt and renovated several times through its rich history and now it is a living monument consisting of several styles – Gothic (mostly) Romanesque and Baroque.

It was dedicated to St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and church services are active to this date. The cathedral complex consists of a church, north and south towers, catacombs and a treasury.

Popular attraction is a roof walk, where visitors can observe great view of Vienna.

Due to its central location in Vienna’s’ Innere Stadt, it is usually starting point in exploration of Vienna and popular meeting place.
