"A vistit to Vienna's Cemetery: the Zentralfriedhof" Zentralfriedhof Tip by yvgr

The Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) is Vienna's main cemetery and the final resting place of some really famous Viennese people. It's a very large cemetery and a bit off city. Make sure you go there on a sunny day since it's a large place and also demands a lot of your time.

Opened in 1874, this enormous cemetery spans 2.4 square kilometres with 3.3 million interred here. It is also second largest cemetery, after Hamburg's Ohlsdorf Cemetery (more than 4 km²), by area and largest by number of interred in Europe.

Interred in the Zentralfriedhof are notables such as Beethoven and Schubert who were moved there in 1888, and Johannes Brahms.

Address: Simmeringer Hauptstraße 230–244, Vienna
