Must visit this church when you are in Vienna. One of the most beautiful church I have ever been too. Do not be fouled by the simple exterior, once you are inside. You will see the fabulous painting, images and ceiling will leave at awe. This church entry is free.

I went for the music, an hour of organ music from 1900-2000, I did not expect this church to be breathtaking! It was a feast for the senses! You can sit there and just absorb all the beauty. The music was amazing! Thank you Sarah!

Hard to find a word to describe. Just stunning! Make sure you go inside. It is free and more beautiful inside. Stained glasses and columns, carvings… a must see! Highly recommend.

Unbelievably beautiful church. You look up and it's like heaven on earth. When I went it happened to be a concert inside the Church with Christmas carols. And it was a 10/10 experience

I happened to visit the church a few minutes before an organ recital through pure luck. The recital I attended ran from 1500-1530; check the church website for times and programmes.

For the cost of a donation I was able to sit inside and enjoy a beautiful recital while resting my legs and admiring the church. The costs go towards the maintenance of the organ, so it's for a good cause. The concerts are fairly relaxed and seating is not reserved (at least not for the matinée I attended). The pews obviously face the altar, and so the organ is behind you - sit at the front if you want to turn around and watch the organ while the music is playing.

The most beautiful church I have seen . Beyond beautiful. Amazing energy and feel very peaceful in the Amazing church and I am sure my prayers will be answered 🙏 🙌 😊

Stunning beautiful breathtaking, the outside of the building belies what you will find inside.

It is an amazing building! I attended a concert there, and the atmosphere was amazing. It is also much larger than the pictures show!

Beautiful domes cathedral with many sculptures and paintings. Worth dropping in. It's in the heart of the old Town.

Such a beautiful church, incredible decoration, organ playing in the church and classical Schubert concerts in the crypt. Well worth a visit.

Amazingly beautiful. I'd risk saying the most beautiful and colourful church in Vienna.
It's free to visit, opened for most of the day and definitely a recommendation to anyone.
The multiple altars, paintings and ceiling are something not to miss.

Very close to St. Stephan's Cathedral, but as well worth the visit of not more (and with the bonus that is free).

A lovely church that is also utilized to hold the nightly concerts. It is beautifully built and well-maintained. It seems that the air isolation wasn't done so well so it can get quite chilly if the weather is a bit cold out there. Regularly the church is probably free of charge for entry but for the concert do you have to get tickets ahead of time.

I had a wonderful night in here with a classic music concert. One of the best places in Vienna.

Lovely baroque church, follows the style of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Beautiful church in the city center, looks really impressive inside.

A truly beautiful church to admire inside! It’s free to enter during the day, but we purchased advanced tickets to see a classical music concert on an evening! The concert was wonderful and the music from the church was magnificent!!
