What makes it 75% Kids-Friendly: Children up to 12 can attend the Sunday Family Mass with puppet show and snacks, but there are no play zones, interactive exhibits, or stroller-friendly restrooms, so attention span limits visit length.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Kids can admire the Baroque art and join brief family activities without getting restless.
Explore Baroque frescoes:
View Matthias Steinl’s dome frescoes and the gilded pulpit inside the church.
Tip: Encourage kids to spot tiny angel figures hidden in the artwork.
Attend Family Sunday program:
On the third Sunday each month, join the 10:00 Familienmesse, then enjoy a puppet show, choir practice and free snack in the crypt.
Tip: Check the website for that month’s date and arrive by 9:45 AM to register your children.
Enjoy free organ recitals:
Listen to daily organ recitals at 13:30 and 15:00 in the main nave.
Tip: Sit near the center aisle for the best sound and plan a short visit for younger kids.
Book winter children’s operas:
Reserve tickets for 45–60 minute operas like “Snow White” in the crypt (Oct–Jan).
Tip: Book online 2–3 weeks in advance to secure family seats.

Small but surprisingly beautiful church. First I thought it would be just another little church. Still decided to visit purely for spiritual purposes but after stepping in, I was speechless. There was the prayer going on and the whole experience with the prayer, organ music, singing, and interior was simply amazing.

Very imposing and nice church to visit. Entry is fee though you are encouraged to make a donation. They do have people playing the church organ from time to time. During those times, the sanctuary area might be closed until after the performance. The interior of the church looks very beautiful. Worth a visit.

St. Peter’s Church is one of those places that leaves you speechless the moment you step inside. Tucked away just off the bustling Graben, it might be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s absolutely worth seeking out. The baroque architecture is stunning. Every inch of the interior is intricately detailed—gilded sculptures, vivid frescoes, and an altar that practically glows in the ...

St. Peter’s Church is absolutely stunning with beautiful architecture and incredible artwork that make it worth a visit on its own. We attended a concert here and, while the seats weren’t the most comfortable, the musicians were outstanding. Their performance truly transported us through time and space, perfectly matched to the historic and atmospheric setting. A memorable experience in a breathta...
