Central Cemetery, Vienna Overview
Despite its location in the outer city district of Simmering, the Central Cemetery gets its name from being Vienna's largest and most significant graveyard. The location is popular among joggers, hikers, and cyclers because of its lush greenery and wildlife with chance to witness a deer or kestrel.
Established on All Saints' Day in 1874, the cemetery spreads out over 2.4 sq. km. Despite being where the dead rest, the Central Cemetery is home to an abundance of nature where lush greenery and wildlife thrives. If one is lucky, they might catch a glimpse of deer, badger, or even kestrels in the cemetery. The Central Cemetery is the final resting place of several Austrian luminaries, including Brahms, Shubert, and Beethover. The beautiful Church of St. Borromeo serves as the cemetery church. Between April and September, special horse-drawn carriage rides can be availed from Gate 2 that take the visitors to the memorial graves of the prominent personalities.
