Head for Heights: Joshua Benfield

There are two towers to climb at Stephansdom in the centre of Vienna. While the Sudturm is higher, there are lots of steps and the view is a little disappointing and only visible through grimy windows. Instead head to Nordturm, take the small lift up and gaze at the tiles on the Cathedral roof.

This viewpoint is so famous, it is the current cover image of the Lonely Planet Guide Book for Europe!
