Stephansplatz square

Stephansplatz, Stephen's Square
Austria, Vienna
Stephansplatz is a square located in the center of the Inner City in Vienna. St. Stephen's Cathedral, one of the main symbols of the Austrian capital, is located on the square. Stephansplatz is the starting point for motorways coming from Vienna.

The square is one of the most popular places in the city for tourists and is, with the exception of the northeast side, a pedestrian zone, which, in addition to the main entrance to the cathedral and exits from the metro, has several shops and cafes.

Palace on Stefanplatz
About the Cathedral of St. Stefan has written a lot. I noticed another house in the square, the Equitable Palace. It was designed by Andreas Streit in 1887-1891. The palace is named after the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. On its facade you can see American eagles; however, some elements of the design of the main entrance are reminiscent of the history of this place - for example, bronze reliefs on the doors of the work of Rudolf Weyr (Rudolf Weyr). The palace was damaged during World War II, but was restored until 1949.→

It's always noisy and fun here.
The area is located near the center of Vienna. It's always noisy and fun here. There are fairs, tastings, competitions, and God knows what else. What does all this have to do with a huge scale (thousands of people). Comfortable multi-tiered benches are installed like a crescent. You can sit down and even without knowing the language feel like a part of the Viennese community.→

Must see in the list of attractions in Vienna
The small Stephanplatz is always noisy and lively. A multi-voiced and multilingual crowd. Central tourist area. The undisputed dominant of the square is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Near it is a parking lot of tourist fiacres. Opposite is a controversial building made of glass and concrete. This is the Haas-Haus, built in 1990 and still hotly debated for its relevance to a string of historic buildings.→
