[2025 Vienna Attraction] Travel Guide for Stephansplatz (Updated Apr)

The Plague Column or Pestsäule is a Holy Trinity column located on the Graben, a street in the inner city of Vienna, Austria. This incredibly intricate Baroque memorial, erected as a way to pray for protection from the plague which devastated Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, is one of the best known and most prominent sculptural artworks in the city. A closer look and one would easily find Emperor Leopold I on the most open side, easily identified by the protruding lower lip – a facial characteristic common to the Habsburg dynasty. 🇦🇹 #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #passionpassport #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip

#CanadaFlightEvent Budapest -> Vienna It's so easy to turn your clumsy hands into golden hands.. The background is so pretty that no matter how you take a picture, it becomes a masterpiece. I can't remember anything but going "Wow" every time I saw the streetㅋㅋㅋ When I went skating, the line was long, but the pictures came out really pretty, and when I saw the picture my friend took of me, the lights were so bright that I thought my face was already photoshoppedㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you go skating at Vienna City Hall this winter, make sure to rent skates one size larger, and since they don't accept cards for food orders, you can bring cash or just pull out a ticket from the machine next to you! I'm not skating right now And the food was better than I thought, so I surprisingly didn't go to Korean restaurants. The food is oily, but the portions are large and filling, so I didn't spend much money on food, so it was a very reasonable trip. Since the financial burden is small, I'm going to go again!

🚩 Tour routes/photo spots City walk from Karlsplatz 🚶♀️ walk through one Christmas market after another ~ The following recommended markets do not miss the top 4 for you: 🥇Am Hof ​​(10am-9pm): 🧄🍜 village format like, Christmas specialty food paradise please go try garlic cream soup and buy cheese 🧀 🥈Rathausplatz/ THE CHRISTKINDLMARKT (10am-10pm): 🎉🎥 Must go! Very big and cinematic large market, everything is complete, but a lot of people....😅 🥉Stephansplatz (11am-9pm): 🏰beautiful backgrounds Gothic architecture as a background market can not lose it, but until now do not understand why the red lights ... 🥶 4️⃣. Freyungplatz (10am-9pm): 🌲 village format/wooden and light/cute Mainly 2 minutes away from Am Hof, so you can stop by 🛤️ 🚇Transportation mode From the Lyf Hotel in Vienna, take tram 62 for about half an hour to reach Karlsplatz ~ and then walk all the way to a different Christmas market! 🚋❄️ 🍜 Special delicacies Please make a trip to Am Hof! truffle and pesto themed cheese and sauce, try it and you will want to take it home! Also remember to try the Garlic cream soup! 🥖 Rich garlic flavor with French bread is definitely a boon for garlic lovers! 🧄❤️ 🏠 Accommodation recommendations Vienna Schönbrunn Lyf: This time staying in this hotel is quite high value for money ~ know Vienna's prices are more expensive, we chose this hotel farther from the city center today, but unexpectedly went to the quiet environment, not like the hustle and bustle of Vienna city center, can let you play a day really peacefully rest 🛌✨ The staff who went there were very nice, and from talking to them we learned that this is a hotel owned by the Singapore Group, so Asians will find it easy to adapt. Most importantly, the bed is very comfortable!!!🥰 Away from the city center will not be very inconvenient, because the hotel walk out of the bus and tram out of the city center, about 30 minutes or so ~ The only drawback may be that there are almost no restaurants near the hotel, only one pizza shop🍕, so if you are suddenly hungry, you have to take a 15-minute drive to have something to eat, or eat pizza/cook yourself!😋 💡 Precautions Pay attention to the opening hours of the pizza shop next to the hotel. Lunch is not available. You can check online!📅 If you have time, start planning to go to Vienna next Christmas ~ 🎄 Their Christmas market is really infectious Personally, I think it is the number one Christmas atmosphere in the European cities I have visited 🥹 If you want more information, you can ask me again ~😬

From the grand Stephansplatz with the iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the charming, narrow lanes lined with coffee houses and elegant shops, every corner holds a new surprise.

#traveldiaries I just returned from a fantastic trip to Vienna’s city center, and I’m already dreaming of going back! 🇦🇹 The blend of history, art, and culture is simply captivating. I started my day at the iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral, which has free entry, though I paid €5 to climb the tower for a breathtaking view of the city. The vibrant Stephansplatz is a great place to soak in the atmosphere, surrounded by beautiful architecture. I also visited the Hofburg Palace, where the entrance fee was around €15, and it was fascinating to explore the imperial apartments and the Sisi Museum. Afterward, I enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the Burggarten, a lovely park perfect for unwinding. Don’t forget to stop by a local café for a slice of Sachertorte—it’s a must! Vienna’s city center is a treasure trove of experiences. #Vienna #TravelDiaries #AustrianCulture #StStephensCathedral #HofburgPalace #ExploreVienna

#churches #100waysoftravel #austria #religion 📍 Our day in Vienna started with a visit to the magnificent Stephansdom, the heart of the city’s skyline. We decided to conquer the Nordturm, the cathedral’s north tower, for a bird’s-eye view of the historic streets below. The climb was steep, but once at the top, the panoramic views of Vienna made it worth every step. After descending, we took a stroll through the nearby streets, soaking in the old-world charm of Vienna’s architecture and lively atmosphere around Stephansplatz. 🚇 Vienna’s excellent public transport made getting around a breeze. We took the U1 metro line directly to Stephansplatz, conveniently placing us right at the cathedral’s doorstep. 📷 The Gothic details of Stephansdom’s exterior were mesmerizing, with its intricate carvings and the colorful, patterned roof. Inside, the towering pillars and beautiful stained-glass windows provided a perfect backdrop for photos. The top of the Nordturm offered unparalleled views of Vienna’s rooftops and streets, making it a must-snap moment. 🍜 We headed to Rinderwahn, a popular local spot known for its gourmet burgers. The perfectly cooked Austrian beef burgers, paired with crispy fries and delicious toppings, were a fantastic contrast to our historical morning. The laid-back, modern atmosphere was the perfect place to refuel. 💡 Tips:Go early to avoid crowds and enjoy the view in peace.
