The Catacombs of St. Stephen’s Cathedral: Private 2.5-hour Tour

What your day looks like

Discover one of Vienna's most iconic and recognizable landmarks on a private guided tour of St. Stephen's Cathedral and its underground Catacombs located in the heart of the city's historic district. From the glory of medieval times to the contemporary splendour of the present, Vienna is world-renowned for its dazzling, grandiose historical buildings of stucco, marble, gold leaf, and ornate stone. On your private guided tour, you will get insider information about one of Vienna’s most iconic sites, St. Stephen's Cathedral. Its colourful roof tiles - laid to create the Royal and Imperial double-headed eagle and Vienna coat of arms - are a much-loved symbol of the city. Enjoy a guided tour of the cathedral, and then descend to explore its catacombs and crypts, where over 10,000 are buried, and remain in use today. See the burial place of the Austrian archbishops and bishops, as well as the crypt where the urns containing the internal organs of the former archdukes of the Habsburg Dynasty are kept. Afterwards, head outside the Cathedral for a guided visit to St. Virgil's Chapel, an underground thirteen-century chapel discovered in 1973 during the construction of the subway and integrated into the station (currently closed for restoration). Your tour finishes at the heart of the Old Town at Stephansplatz where your guide will give you further recommendations on what to see next!
