343 steps / der Stephansdom

VON ANGELA

If you want to feel like in middle age you have to visit the South Tower of San Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. You pay four euros and you can go to watchman chamber. It is 67 meters high. You have to go 343 narrow steps made of stone. This is a very good place to look at Vienna from above. You can find many names, hearts and padlocks in the name of love, in the walls and windows during the way. Getting to the top is no longer than 10 minutes. In the highest point there is a room and you can buy postal and mini Cathedrals. The real top of the South Tower is 137 meters but is no allowed to go there. If you don’t want to go too high walking, you can go to short one tower called the Bell Tower by elevator.
