The following churches are FREE to enter: 2️⃣ St. Michael's Church A hidden gem next to the Hofburg Architectural style: Romanesque exterior + Baroque interior 3️⃣ Plague Column A golden Baroque monument at the heart of Graben Street 4️⃣ St. Peter's Church We happened to visit during mass and observed quietly from the back. Though small, its interior is incredibly lavish. 5️⃣ Anker Clock Be there at noon to watch the figurine parade—a masterpiece of Art Nouveau style. 6️⃣ Jesuit Church A pastel pink marble dream! 💕 My personal favorite. The trompe-l’oeil frescoes create an "illusory dome" and an "infinitely extended heaven"—utterly ingenious. 7️⃣ St. Stephen's Cathedral An iconic landmark with Gothic spires and a colorful diamond-patterned tile roof. 🍽 Food Recommendations Along the Way: Café Central (near St. Stephen's Cathedral) Figlmüller (a century-old schnitzel restaurant—always crowded!) #ViennaMustSee #ChurchTour #EuropeTravelGuide #CityWalk #WalkingRoute #ClassicalArchitecture #ViennaChurches
