Best View over Vienna from the North Tower of St. Stephen´s Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Austria ⛪️🇦🇹

#northtower #stephansdom #vienna
Construction on the North Tower began around 1450, but its completion took almost 130 years thanks to budget problems (they needed city money for more pressing concerns, like keeping the Ottoman Empire outside the city walls).
A small lift runs up to a stone viewing platform that surrounds the bottom of the green-domed bell house that caps the tower.
The open-air platform gives you views in various directions. However, the cathedral roof blocks the south and southwest.
