Traveler reviews
J Call
★★★★★7 months agoThis beautiful church features stunning architecture. I had the pleasure of visiting in December, and it was remarkably uncrowded, with only a few other individuals present. This allowed us ample time to fully appreciate the mesmerizing beauty of the church. It truly is a hidden gem, conveniently located within walking distance of St. Stephen's Cathedral. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the vicinity.

★★★★★Edited 3 weeks agoThe Jesuit Church is about 5 min walk from the famous St. Stephen’s Cathedral. It looks simple from the outside, but extremely beautiful inside. The walls and columns are covered in pink and green marble, and colourful paintings. The church is free to enter and usually not crowded. If you like pretty churches and quiet places, this is one of the nicest in Vienna.
