One of the oldest churches in Vienna is located on Michaelerplatz. It was here that Mozart's Requiem was first performed at his own funeral. Entrance to the church is free.
The main impression of the interior decoration of the Michaelerkirche is the contrast between the strict vaulted arcades and the richest baroque altar. The church is surprisingly quiet and calm, so even if you are not very religious, come here to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
An option for the brave is a visit to the crypt. The fact is that more than 4 thousand people found peace in this church. The bones of the dead cover the floor and walls of the crypt. Also, 250 coffins are stored here. The bodies were naturally mummified due to special climatic conditions and are available for inspection. Mummies are dressed in the style of their time.
A visit to the crypt is possible only with a guided tour, the cost is 7 euros. The group takes no more than 20 people.
Tours are held from Monday to Saturday from 11 to 13 (be sure to check the current schedule before visiting).
