Traveler reviews
Mat Bienczyk
★★★★★a year agoThe cemetery is behind St. Sebastian church, and contains some tombs of some well known people, including the Mozart family. Entry is free and can easily be accessed through different routes.
Luke Phang
★★★★★6 years agoSt Sebastian's Cemetery is slightly smaller than St Peter's and opposite the river from the old town, but we quite enjoyed our time here as this place is more tranquil and less touristy than St Peter's. The most notable tombstone here belongs to the Mozart family (Wolfgang Mozart himself is buried in Vienna though), but it's still quite the experience to look through the different tombstones and note their design and age.
