Full description

Beneath the Capuchin Church lies the traditional burial place of the Habsburg dynasty, where rulers and family members rest in sarcophagi spanning several centuries. Reviewers describe a quiet, solemn visit that can feel unsettling, with the weight of European history made tangible in front of you.

It is a compact visit of around half an hour, so it combines easily with other sights in the Innere Stadt. It appeals most to those with an interest in dynastic history and funerary art.
