Vienna's towering Gothic cathedral and its defining landmark, instantly recognisable from its patterned tiled roof and the 137-metre south tower. Entry to the rear of the nave is free; climbing the towers, visiting the catacombs or the treasury cost extra. It sits at the dead centre of the old city, so you will pass it repeatedly, but go inside early to beat the tour groups.
