What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Step-free entry and stroller access help, yet no diaper-changing or nursing room exists and prams must be folded for the lift, so parents manage but with some practical hurdles.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time to explore the church interior, ride the dome lift, and let your baby play in Resselpark nearby without rushing.
Resselpark toddler playground:
Let your baby enjoy low slides, a fenced sandpit, and shaded play area behind the church.
Tip: Bring a change of clothes and supervise closely on sand surfaces.
Step-free church interior visit:
Enter via the Argentinierstraße side door with a stroller and explore the nave’s gold details.
Tip: Ask staff for the portable ramp and leave your stroller at the back if crowded.
Dome elevator ride:
Take the glass lift 32 m up to see the frescoes and city panorama.
Tip: Fold the stroller and hold your baby securely; check staff if stroller can fit.
Fountain-edge rest:
Rest on benches around the shallow reflection pond as your baby watches water and ducks.
Tip: Visit in the morning when ducks are active and fewer visitors crowd the area.

Very interesting church from the inside. The dome inside is decorated with some modern lighting that makes is look more unique that anything else I have seen anywhere. You can also go upstairs and get a view from the top which is very nice. The alter inside is very nice and everything inside is build in a Baroque style with some Greek like columns which is interesting.

An evening in the church with Vivaldi's Four Seasons. A beautiful church, richly marbled, and a perfect setting for a cold night listening to music. Recommended. Get tickets, it sells out.

Very beautiful church that hosts a period accurate Vivaldi Four Seasons concert. Beautiful and stunning exterior and interior and very good concert as well. The only disappointing thing is that you have to pay to see the inside of the church even during normal days with no activities.

I'll never understand why you have to pay to visit churches and cathedrals. In Spain, most cathedrals charge an entrance fee. But in France, none (from what I've seen) while in Vienna, some are free, while others, like this one, require an expensive entrance fee (10 euros or more). Why? The exterior is splendid, and the interior even more so, I suppose... But I do not think you should pay for a ch...

Iconic Catholic Church What I enjoyed the most about this Church was the surroundings. I really liked the water plan in front which allowed for all the reflective pictures. The architecture of this Church is also very impressive. It is very Grand and beautiful. I would definitely recommend for everyone just to come here even just for the park around it.
In summer, arrive early to enjoy shade in Resselpark and picnic by the pond. In winter, dress your baby in warm layers and watch for icy paths near the church steps.
