It is vert easy to find by U bahn and tram. There are 3 tram stops outside the Cemetery. Get off at the second to see the graves of Schubert, Brahms etc. Get a map from the information centre.We wandered for a few hours and took Third Man type photos in the tree -lined avenues A free bus takes you...

Visiting cemeteries is not for everyone. It makes some unavoidably uncomfortable to be so intimately reminded of you know what. For others it's more of question of, "What's the point?". The idea of touring such a setting as part of a holiday or vacation agenda, one with no personally known association, may seem to some to border on the morbid... More

My husband was a music major, so we had to go here. Driving in from Salzburg, we stopped here first before heading to our vienna hotel. It would be a pain/not worth it to come here if you dont have a car. Ps- driving in Vienna is a pain, just park it once you get there! There are maps of... More

It feels a bit strange to "rate a cemetery" but this place is worth doing that. The Friedhof is really vast, in the area there are so many famous people burried. For me - as a big FALCO fan it was one of the reasons I went to Vienna a few years ago for the first time. Each of my... More

Went to put roses on Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms' and the Strauss's graves, which we did, but we saw many more reasonably famous names, and found the cemetery - where you can have a ride around in a horse-drawn carriage - very interesting. Fantastic headstones and memorials, though some are a bit way one had what looked like wrestling nudes on... More

And then head a few stops away for Friedhof St.MARX - this cemetery has... More

For music lovers, a must: gravesites of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss Sr./Jr., and others. Dont miss the big domed k Karl-Lueger church with its fantastic Jugendstil interior. Look up and you will be rewarded. Take tram 71, direction "Zentralfriedhof Tor 3" from various stops on Ringstrasse (e.g. Karl Renner ring stop), and get off 30 min later at "Tor 2"... More

Grave stones are amazing and full of history. I love the city and this is just one of the great things that make Vienna so enjoyable

Well worth the trip if you want to get out of the city as the cemetery is so large and you can wander in the shade taking in all the amazing architecture of the graves. We took the U3 (Orange line) to Simmering and then a tram to the 2nd entrance so that we could easily find the well-known graves.
