On Sunday evening we visited St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Stephen's Square (Stephansplatz). Stephansplatz was bustling, despite the drizzle. The bubble lady was entertaining kids in the square while young men in Renaissance costumes were enticing tourists to buy tickets for Mozart concerts and bus tours.
We slipped into the cathedral and discovered that Mass was in progress. I took a picture from the visitor's gallery in the back while listening to the service.
The exterior is just as imposing. Built mostly in the 14th centruy, it is a mix of Goth and Baroque styles, with towers so high they can be seen throughout the city.
