Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery)

Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery) Review

A streetcar from Schwarzenbergplatz takes you to the Zentralfriedhof, which contains the graves of most of Vienna's great composers: Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, the Johann Strausses (father and son), and Arnold Schönberg, among others. Find your way around with the help of a audio guide, which can be rented for a small fee. The monument to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a memorial only; the approximate location of his unmarked grave can be seen at the now deconsecrated St. Marx-Friedhof at Leberstrasse 6-8.
