L	L. J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This view is a complete JOKE!! To start with, the staircase is ridiculously narrow which makes people going up and down almost impossible. You would think it's worth being patient, but no: once you've reached the 'first floor', you don't have a proper platform on which you can admire the roofs of Vienna. Instead, tiny windows that are just large enough to take a few pictures. You keep going upstairs thinking you will have a better view because you haven't seen anything yet. HUGE MISTAKE: you end up in an under-the-roofs souvenir shop... of just a few square meters and overcrowded. What a terrible idea to put a shop there!!!! Going downstairs was equally painful. Some people asked us it is was worth going at the top, to which we said: definitely NOT!! We eventually argued with the cashier and luckily got our money back! I have never seen such a thing before while abroad... A few tips for whoever is in charge of this 'business': remove the shop at the top, widen the first floor windows if the architecture allows it (or create a path that enables to have a view), and either create an exit path elsewhere, or alternate ups and downs to avoid bottlenecks.

B	Bernat Morgades on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another icon of the city. Its architecture is awesome and if you go on the south tower you can see a 360º view of the city (after more than 300 stairs)

S	Salty Travels on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The view from the tower is nice. You can see the city and the beautiful roof of the cathedral. You can reach the tarrace by a lift. Upstairs you will also find a giant clock and that is pretty much it ;) If the weather is bad it's very windy there.

T	Traian-Sergiu Gavrilă on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The north tower of St. Stephan Cathedral was a great experience! Me and my friends did no expect to climb and climb and still climb so many stairs. At our age of 25 it took more than 7 minutes to climb all the way to the top, but it was worth it. The view is incredible. With some luck you can be alone in there and you can just think about the height you are at and how cool is watching the entire city from above. Getting down takes around 3-4 minutes at a resonable pace. I totally recommend visiting it! P.S.: Your knees will shiver!
