Slip away from the centre to Sankt Marxer Friedhof, Vienna's atmospheric 18th-century cemetery. Wander its ivy-covered graves, find the memorial near Mozart's unmarked burial, and enjoy the stillness of one of the city's most peaceful corners.
Full description
Sankt Marxer Friedhof is a historic graveyard in Vienna's Landstraße district, the last of the city's old Biedermeier-era cemeteries still in this state. Many graves are weathered and overgrown with ivy, giving it a quiet, romantic character far from the central crowds.
Its best-known feature is the memorial marking the area where Mozart was buried in an unmarked grave in 1791, which reviewers say is easy to find. Visitors describe a tranquil place suited to unhurried wandering, though some graves are hard to locate and the uneven ground makes it less ideal with small children.

Very old graveyard some graves are completed overgrown but it is a very tranquil and peaceful place. Very easy to find the original burial site of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
