★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48

Spend about 90 minutes with Sandra Blum’s Vienna tour service exploring St. Stephen’s Cathedral from its carved facade to its shadowy interior.

“A bit difficult to photo the whole church from the street. Pretty dark inside. A portable metal fence blocks the worship area from the lobby/narthex. Need to buy a tour to enter further, as many have stated; we skipped the tour (we kinda get churched out when every town you visit lists theirs as a main attraction). Decided against the tower climb also, as it was a rainy day.”
