Good to know

  • The 45-minute crypt tours run without booking at the times listed; none between 23 December and 6 January.
  • Outside, the Roman and medieval excavations in the middle of Michaelerplatz are free to look into.
  • The Looshaus stands across the square: compare the plain facade with the church's.
