The route
Each stop is free to stand in front of, whatever the tour costs.
Vienna's Gothic landmark and geographic center. The south tower (Steffl) at 136 meters dominates the skyline. Visitors can climb the tower for city views or descend into the catacombs beneath the nave. The tiled roof with the Habsburg double eagle is visible from most elevated points in the city.
A neo-Gothic building on the Ringstrasse that serves as the seat of Vienna's city government. The Rathausplatz in front hosts Vienna's largest Christmas market in winter, an open-air cinema in summer, and the Life Ball in June. The exterior is the attraction; interior access is via guided tour or events. The Rathausmann figure on the tower is a city emblem.
Everything else Vienna costs.
