Vienna is a truly beautiful and magical city. Stephansplatz is at the center of the city and it's named after the cathedral located there, St. Stephan's Cathedral (Stephansdom). The cathedral is one of the largest in the world and is also the seat of the Archdiocese of Vienna. Entry is free, but donations are highly recommended. You will find many street entertainers there, and if you're lucky like my husband and me, a political protest. Make sure to visit Figlmuller's, off one of the side streets, for Schnitzel so large, it overlaps the plate!

Wien is a truly wondeful city, and has a lot of beautiful places. My favorite place in the city is the Heldenplatz and surroundings.The Stephansdom is very beautiful, and surrounded by streets with all kinds of shops and restaurants. The interior is also very beautiful, but I personaly think that the Kölner Dom and the Cathedral in Prague are even more interesting.

The plaza around St. Stephen's Cathedral is bustling with people usually, and street perfomers and carriages (just mind the smell of the horses :( ).... and lots of outrageously expensive souvenir shops and restaurants, but is nothing to brag about....in contrast to the church itself, which is awe-some!

It's very interesting place, not just because of the cathedral. This place is full of tourists and street performers. Drawers, luftballon and moving statues. I liked it,but t's true I didn't miss on a wonderful house the sign of the most common fast food restaurant.

I love Vienna!  Such a rich and interesting history there.  In the cathedral are the remains of the Hapsburg dynasty, stored in an interesting and rather gory way.  If you want to learn more then you should go!  You have to learn about this city's history to get a lot out of it!
