Karlskirche
Church
Karlsplatz
Vienna

Visited 2nd
December 2008

A massive, and very impressive, church, from the outside.
But the inside, is much more impressive.
Entry, is on the right hand side, via some stone steps.
There is a BELL, to call, for assistance, for the, mobility impaired.  A member, of staff, can use a “STAIR CLIMBER” to enable you, to gain entry (once in the church, floor, is level).
Entry fee, is very reasonable, and includes an audio guide.

The art work, and architecture, is outstanding, the attention to detail, of the work, is awesome!!
There is a lift, up to the (35metres, high) viewing platform, from where you will have a good view of the inside of the church.  From the platform  there is a staircase, up to the top of the DOME,  which gives, you Panoramic views of Karlsplatz.

Getting to, Karlskirche, is on the underground, to Karlsplatz,
This underground station, is fairly new, and is fairly good, accessible wise (and is very, very clean).
