Did the full tour €25, well worth it. See the whole church. Note the south tower is 26 flights up a narrow dark stone spiral staircase, but worth the view. The catacombs are very interesting too
Katedrála sv. Štěpána – „Steffl“ – je v samotném středu Vídně nejen architektonickou ikonou, ale i živou kronikou města, kde se románské základy potkávají s gotickou lehkostí a dějinami Habsburků. Nepřehlédnutelná, mozaikově vykládaná střecha a vysoká jižní věž rámují současný rytmus historického centra, zatímco interiér – od kazatelny po tiché prostory krypt – připomíná, že jde především o místo modlitby; proto může být přístup při bohoslužbách či z organizačních důvodů omezen.
