Worth the Visit
Known as the second largest cemetery in Europe, this cemetery is worth a stop. The grounds are very well kept. There is a very nice main path to walk through the cemetery leading to the church. Off to the left are the grave sites of famous composers within one area of the cemetery. Hedy Lamarr is also buried here. If you have time during your stay in Vienna, I would recommend the visit. We took a ride share to get here since it is outside the city, which took about 30-40 minutes. Allow yourself at least an hour on the grounds.
