The most famous sights of Vienna:

GPS coordinates of Stephen Cathedral - 48 ° 12'30.4 "N 16 ° 22'20.0" E
Get to it using the metro - STEPHANSPLATZ stop.
The history of the cathedral begins almost a thousand years ago. Leopold IV together with Regionmar, Bishop Passau laid the church in 1137. In 1230-1245, the church expanded, and the Western Romanesque Wall appeared.
After a while, in 1258 the first church burned down. In 1263, the second church was built on this place, too, in the Romanesque style and consecrated it on April 23, this birthday of the cathedral is celebrated in Vienna and now.
The cathedral survived the war and lived to 1945. Even bombardment did not damage him during the war. Only marauders who began to burn staggered benches, hurt the cathedral. The fire shrewd to the cathedral. All overlaps and roofs were destroyed. The cathedral was re-restored in the 80s, and continue it now. The main problem of restorers is a stone on the outer walls of the cathedral and sculptures that do not spare time. In order to somehow slow the aging of the cathedral, the robots are replaced by the stones, the robots are carried out with original tools and according to old technologies.
The most interesting thing about the Cathedral:
There are 23 bells in the cathedral. The biggest of them, the new pummer weighing at 21.3 tons calls only 11 times only on big holidays. This is the second sizes of the bell of Europe after Cologne.
The largest body in Austria is located in the Cathedral of St. Stephen. The body includes 125 registers and 10 thousand organ pipes.

Here short description All Routes "Yellow" buses Sightseeing:
1) Red:
It takes place along the Vienna Ring - Ringstrasse Street. It is often referred to as the most beautiful boulevard of the world. And it is meaningless to argue with this: so many magnificent buildings, palaces and parks are concentrated at the Vienna Ring, which would be enough for a couple of cities. Starting from 1865, when the "ring" street was officially open, there were luxurious buildings on it, which to this day create a special appearance of the Vienna Ring.

This attraction deserves close attention. The entrance to the castle gardens is free, on these gardens you can walk for hours - it is a quick step, and if you drop out all thoughts and just enjoy the beauty of the park, it is not a pity to spend the whole day! The zoo on the territory of the castle is interesting at least what there is Paaaanda 🙂
But calculate the time to get there and not hurry, it works (zoo) to 17-30, and you will go preferably a couple of hours before closing! Do not regret money on a tour of the castle, learn many interesting moments from the life of the Austrian nobility, castle and empire itself, I love historical routes, and you think ...
