St. Stephan's Cathedral North Tower

This view is a complete JOKE!! To start with, the staircase is ridiculously narrow which makes people going up and down almost impossible. You would think it's worth being patient, but no: once you've reached the 'first floor', you don't have a proper platform on which you can admire the roofs of Vienna. Instead, tiny windows that are just large enough to take a few pictures. You keep going upstairs thinking you will have a better view because you haven't seen anything yet. HUGE MISTAKE: you end up in an under-the-roofs souvenir shop... of just a few square meters and overcrowded. What a terrible idea to put a shop there!!!! Going downstairs was equally painful. Some people asked us it is was worth going at the top, to which we said: definitely NOT!! We eventually argued with the cashier and luckily got our money back! I have never seen such a thing before while abroad... A few tips for whoever is in charge of this 'business': remove the shop at the top, widen the first floor windows if the architecture allows it (or create a path that enables to have a view), and either create an exit path elsewhere, or alternate ups and downs to avoid bottlenecks.

Waste of money, the only advantage is a beautitul roof seen from this balcony. Besides, the bell is surrounded by bars and glass, nothing to be seen. The panorama is great - if only i didn't feel like in a cage, there are bars everywhere, very limited view and no climate of the place. very small space to see anything. Not worth 6 euros!

Great beautiful cathedral in the city center of Vienna - look at the details at the main entrance follow on Instagram for more pictures of Vienna @howaboutvienna

The view from the tower is nice. You can see the city and the beautiful roof of the cathedral. You can reach the tarrace by a lift. Upstairs you will also find a giant clock and that is pretty much it ;) If the weather is bad it's very windy there.

This tower offer better views than the southern one,though is less higher.
