Vienna: Mozart was married here, and mourned here
Mozart was married in St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna in 1782, and nine years later his funeral service was held in the same church. Its roof is covered with more than two hundred thousand coloured tiles.
Vienna is four hours from Prague, so the trick is one good walk rather than a rush between sights. We wrote a free English audio guide for it:
- 🎧 10 stops, about 4 km, flat, from the Karlskirche to St Stephen's Cathedral. One short track per stop, or one 8-minute MP3 for the car
- ⛪ The Karlskirche was promised by Emperor Charles VI in 1713 if the plague ended
- 🎼 The State Opera opened in 1869 with Mozart's Don Giovanni
- 🎄 From mid-November until Christmas the walk passes four Christmas markets: the Karlskirche, the Rathausplatz with the city's big tree, Am Hof and the cathedral
- 🚗 Day trip from your Prague hotel: €370 per car (up to 4), €380 minivan (up to 8), fuel, tolls, vignettes, parking and waiting included. Take a passport or ID card
