St. Marx cemetery in Vienna is the only Biedermeier cemetery worldwide still existing today. The whole area stands under monument protection. For visitors the cemetery ist freely accessible and on a walk you can protect many motives for photo and wondrous inscriptions on the tombstones. St. Marx is also the final resting place of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who was buried there in 1791.
Now, in spring, it’s the best time for a visit: Angels and tombstones are sourrounded by blossoming lilacs – there’s no other place in Vienna, you can find as much lilacs as here.

St. Marx Cemetery, Leberstraße 6-8, 3rd District, reached with 71 tram or Bus 74A.
