St. Stephens Cathedral We recommend starting with a taste of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Austria’s tallest church and its most important Gothic building. Standing 136 meters tall, each of the South Tower’s 343 steps brings you closer to the next stage of the tasting journey. The flavors reach their peak on the rooftop, where glazed tiles are arranged to form the imperial double-headed eagle and the Viennese coat of arms. Delicious! Before continuing with your menu, don’t forget to sample a spoonful of the "Pummerin" – the second-largest free-swinging church bell in Europe which rings out across Viennat at midnight every New Year’s Eve, welcoming the arrival of the new year.
