Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) allows free entry to the rear of the nave, but its most iconic features—the catacombs, the 343-step South Tower climb, and the North Tower elevator—require separate tickets. For a complete visit without the hassle of multiple cash-only on-site queues, the all-inclusive digital pass is the most efficient choice, while guided walking tours are best for those wanting to connect the cathedral's history to the broader Habsburg legacy.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • The South Tower (Steffl) has no elevator; the 343-step climb is physically demanding, narrow, and unsuitable for visitors with mobility issues or claustrophobia.
  • The Dom Museum Wien is closed on Mondays; visitors using the All-Inclusive ticket on a Monday will be unable to access the museum or treasury items included in the price.
  • Catacombs are accessible only via mandatory guided tours which have a midday break (typically no tours between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM); photography is strictly prohibited underground.
  • Sightseeing inside the main nave is restricted during Holy Mass and religious services, particularly on Sunday mornings (until 1:00 PM) and public holidays.
  • Individual ticket kiosks for the towers and catacombs located inside or around the cathedral frequently operate on a cash-only basis; ensure you have Euros ready if not booking the All-Inclusive ticket online.
  • Strict dress code

    Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the ticketed areas of the cathedral; you may be forced to purchase a cover-up from nearby vendors if unprepared.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The main cathedral entrance is the Giant’s Door (Riesentor) on the west side of the building, opposite the Stephansplatz U-Bahn entrance. The South Tower entrance is reached from Stephansplatz, behind the tower opposite the Curhaus. The North Tower uses a lift; the Catacombs meeting point is at the catacomb stairway inside the cathedral. If using an online ticket, go first to the main ticket office inside the cathedral for admission or voucher redemption.

  • Price

    The visible Tiqets rows list “St. Stephen Cathedral All inclusive ticket + Dom Museum Wien” at €29.00. The official venue information also lists the All-Inclusive ticket at €29.00 and describes coverage of the cathedral visit, audio guide, both towers, a public Catacombs tour and the Dom Museum Wien. Compare the final checkout total, inclusions and cancellation terms before paying; the supplied seller row does not specify fees or refunds.

  • Discounts

    Visitors may enter the cathedral freely, while some interior areas and the towers require paid admission. The official All-Inclusive information says one child under 14 is included free with each purchased ticket. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult or take part in a guided tour. Do not rely on the current student, senior, disability or companion discounts without checking the official rate and proof requirements for your visit. Online tickets are redeemed once at the cathedral ticket office, and viewing or tour times may change for liturgical or organisational reasons.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a specific time slot to visit St. Stephen's Cathedral?

While the cathedral itself is open for general visits, the Catacombs require joining a guided tour. These typically run Mon–Sat 10:00–11:30 and 13:30–16:30, and Sun/Holidays 13:30–16:30. Towers and the nave do not require fixed time slots.

Can I cancel my tickets if my plans change?

Official on-site tickets are generally non-refundable. However, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often provides a 24-hour cancellation window, which is recommended if your travel schedule is uncertain.

What is the difference between the South Tower and the North Tower?

The South Tower (Steffl) requires a strenuous climb of 343 narrow steps and has no elevator. The North Tower is accessible via an elevator and houses the famous Pummerin Bell, making it the better choice for those with limited mobility.

Is there a dress code for entering the cathedral?

Yes, as an active place of worship, visitors must dress respectfully. Shoulders and knees should be covered, and men are expected to remove hats; access may be restricted during liturgical services.

How do I access the Catacombs?

The Catacombs can only be visited as part of a guided tour. Tours depart from a marked meeting point inside the cathedral (north aisle) during morning and afternoon blocks; if you have an 'All-inclusive' ticket, you present your physical entry card at the tour start.

Are there any parts of the cathedral I can see for free?

The front area of the nave (near the entrance) is free to enter for a brief look or prayer. However, the main altar area, the towers, the treasury, and the catacombs all require individual or combined paid tickets.

Are mobile tickets accepted, or do I need to print them?

Digital vouchers are used for online bookings, but for the 'All-Inclusive' pass, you must exchange your mobile voucher for physical tickets at the Dom Museum shop nearby before entering the paid sections.

Is the Dom Museum Wien included in the cathedral ticket?

The Dom Museum Wien is included in the 'All-inclusive' or 'Combi' tickets. Note that the museum is located in a separate building at Stephansplatz 6 and is closed on Mondays.
