The outside of this church seemed so simple. I almost past right by it....having seen so many churches in Rome, Paris, etc. However, when I entered, it took my breath away. Small, yet colorful, vibrant, full of life. This is a must see. more

Peterskirche is easy to pass up, but you shouldn't. It is just off of Graben and people get all distracted with the Hofburg Palace in one direction, Stephansdom in the other, and the multitude of people in this pedestrian zone.

Very beautiful, & much lighter & 'goldier' compared to the huge dark St Stephan's. Stood in awe when I walked in. Don't miss... more

In all my travels around Europe with its beautiful ornate and Gothic churches and Cathedrals, this holds a very special place for me. I have never failed to drop in to gape and for a prayer at Peterskirche whenever I am in Vienna. Just a short distance from Stephansplatz and the Cathedral, this is one of the most intimate and... more
