At Central Cemetery (Zentralfriedhof), see how the city of music built monumental tombs for some of the world's best composers. Landscape architects Karl Jonas Mylius and Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli designed the cemetery in 1870. This final resting place for people of all religions spreads across 2.5 sq km (620 acres). Take a tour with an audio guide and check out the most interesting spots: honorary graves, a church, presidential crypt, Mozart cenotaph, War Memorial, and Park of Peace and Power. Take a car or a public "cemetery bus" line to see more spots, and visit the graves of famous composers Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Strauss.

  The Central Cemetery, a beautiful cemetery, whether simply for a sparrow to look at the Beautiful Tombs, or simply the tranquility to conviviures! A beautiful cemetery, with very beautiful, manicured graves and just nice quiet, an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and the noise of the city!

  Europe biggest graveyard, somehow fascinating, even beautiful and strange altogether. Visit the graves of famous people, musicians and politicians. Some places however remind me about Michael Jackson’s music video thriller. It’s so huge you might use a bicycle or car to move around.
