 Our sweet at the Marriott

Exploring Old Town Vienna

We climbed the Stephansdom Gothic cathedral...
"The Hochturm is the tall tower attached to the south side of Stephansdom. It is locally known as the Steffl (Little Stephan). This tower was
built between 1368 to 1433, taking 65 years to complete. Being the high point of Vienna it was often used as a lookout and command post during
times of conflict. 343 steps ascend the Steffl to an interior viewing platform (with fairly narrow windows) near the top."
