Each of them is different and each impresses. To complete your experience your private guide will tell fascinating history and facts about them!
Enter St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its unique roof and massive towers which are the highest point of the Vienna skyline. It’s Austria's most prominent national symbol. Marvel at a huge space full of chambers, decorations, and gorgeous altars. Step inside small, but gold St. Peter’s Church (Peterskirche). From the outside it looks inconspicuous, but inside this baroque church shines and delights by frescoes, paintings, domed roofs with lots of gilding.
Explore the neo-gothic Votivkirche and see the stained glass windows. The impressive altar catches the eye with its gilded retable and an elaborate ciborium over it made by the artist Joseph Glasser. Feel a piece of Italy in Minoritenkirche - one of the oldest and artistically most valuable churches in Vienna. See a mosaic version of Da Vinci's Last Supper. Finally see also Karlskirche (St. Charles Church) which gives a fabulous picture with its surroundings of water. The opulent frescoes in the cupola contain 1250 square meters of incredible splendor and beautiful colors.
