St. Stephen's Cathedral
St. Stephen's Cathedral is the centrepiece of Vienna's inner city and, for many visitors, the building that most powerfully symbolises the city. Its striking form, characteristic tiled roof and the far-visible south tower make it one of Europe's best-known churches. Anyone visiting Vienna can hardly miss it – which is exactly why it is one of the most rewarding excursion destinations for Wachau holidaymakers.
Its history stretches back to the 12th century, and over the centuries the cathedral has accompanied Vienna's development. Today it is not only an important religious centre but also a place where architecture, city history and visitor experience come together.
For holidaymakers, St. Stephen's Cathedral is so appealing because it lies right in the historic Vienna of coffeehouses, old-town lanes and imperial history. A visit can be perfectly combined with a city stroll and adds the urban, cultural side of Austria to a Wachau stay.
