Pretty expensive for what you get. 8 euros for a cemetery is crazy. Can’t see all the coffins up close either, some are blocked off (the most interesting ones). Not a lot of information, and all of it is in German anyway. Its not very large either, so you get done with it quick. I was walking in circles just to feel like I at least got my money’s worth, lol. It’s cool to visit but I don’t think the price is justified at all.

Quiet steep ticketprices for what is, in the end, basically a several rooms of, albeit very nice looking, grave tombs. Ideally to get an idea of the many ages this family controlled large swats of Europe and the wealth they acquired. (it's pretty ironic that even dead they keep earning money from 'the common citizen' 🤓)

Impressive crypt that is steeped in history Really lacked assistance for non-German speakers (All signs solely in German and no guided experience offered in English) Glad we went but wouldn’t recommend to somebody on a short trip to Vienna - so much more to see/do ahead of it.

Interesting way to learn about the Hapsburg line. The largest family tomb I have ever visited with hundreds of years and generations of Hapsburgs each buried in a metal sarcophagus, including Maria Theresia and Franz Joseph, as well as Maximilian (who ruled Mexico) and the last Emporer of Austro-Hungary, Karl and his Empress who passed in 1989. Even more recently deceased relatives are buried here as well.

One of the must-visit places in Vienna. Since 1633, the Capuchin monastery Imperial Crypt serves as the principal place of entombment for the members of the House of Habsburg. This is the burial place of 12 emperors and 18 empresses and this crypt contains all in all the bones of 145 Habsburg royalty, plus urns containing the hearts or cremated remains of four others. Place of silence and memory.

(Translated by Google) The remains of the rulers of the dynasty in whose empire the sun never set lie beneath the modest church and monastery of the Capuchin Order. A tour of the Capuchin Crypt takes you through 400 years of Austrian and European history, from the Thirty Years' War to revolutions and the first ideas for a united Europe. The greatest artists of their time designed the crypts, and various symbols of power on the coffins testify to the imperial claim of the dynasty. Symbols of impermanence and faith reflect personal trust in God and humility before the Creator. Ultimately, however, the human fates behind the offices touch the triumphs and defeats. Today the remains of 150 personalities rest in the Capuchin crypt. (Original) Unter der bescheidenen Kirche und dem Kloster des Kapuzinerordens ruhen die Überreste der Herrscherinnen und Herrscher jener Dynastie, in deren Reich einmal die Sonne nicht unterging. Ein Rundgang durch die Kapuzinergruft führt durch 400 Jahre österreichischer und europäischer Geschichte, vom Dreißigjährigen Krieg über Revolutionen bis hin zu ersten Ideen für ein vereintes Europa. Die größten Künstler ihrer Zeit gestalteten die Grufträume, auf den Särgen zeugen vielfältige Symbole der Macht vom imperialen Anspruch der Dynastie. Sinnbilder der Vergänglichkeit und des Glaubens spiegeln persönliches Gottvertrauen und Demut vor dem Schöpfer wider. Letztlich berühren jedoch die menschlichen Schicksale hinter den Ämtern, den Triumphen und Niederlagen. Heute ruhen die sterblichen Überreste von 150 Persönlichkeiten in der Kapuzinergruft.

(Translated by Google) For those who love the darkest culture will be thrilled. Wonderful crypt. Perfect coffins, really aristocratic. (Original) Για όσους αγαπούν την πιο dark κουλτούρα θα ενθουσιαστούν. Υπέροχη κρύπτη. Τέλεια φέρετρα, όντως αριστοκρατικά.

Truly a magnificent and must see place in Vienna. The capuchin church it’s attached to is fairly unassuming by Vienna standards, but ok descending into the crypt, you will see one of the most incredible sights available anywhere in the world. All the splendor and excess of a dead empire on display, massive coffins with life sized human sculptures holding them up. It’s a place where you feel the true weight of history, all that was and never will be again. It’s an incredibly moving sight, and I can’t recommend it enough

€8 entry fee felt a little too expensive for something which only took about 30 minutes to go around. Not much information about what was there and who the people were

Great place to visit. It's in the city center. Entrance around 7€. Totally worth it. You can see and admire so many beautiful tombs. Of course Sisi and Franz Joseph too but not only. Definitely must see

The Kapuzinergruft is a remarkable place - to encounter the sarcophagi almost all the major figures of several centuries of the Habsburg rulers is truly a breath-taking experience for anyone with an interest in history. Perhaps you should do a bit more research than I did; only when organising my pictures did I fully appreciate who some of the individuals were and I completely missed one Habsburg who I would otherwise have liked to have visited. The crypt is also magnificent an an artistic level as some of the sarcophagi are among the most remarkable metal sculpture works I have ever seen. The grandiosity can be a bit overwhelming (Maria Theresa's sarcophagus resembles nothing so much as a barge or a parade float) but the intricacy of the details and the beauty of the sculptures are extraordinary.

Contains members of the Hapsburg Royal family dating back to the 1600s. Lots of beautifully ornate caskets. Little plans of the crypt in various languages are free to pick up, but they only mention a few of the people. Lots of caskets are not featured, and too far back or round corners, so impossible to read who they were.

Many emperors and empresses as well as other members of the Hapsburg family are buried here in impressively ornate coffins and free standing tombs. Every one of them has an interesting history worth looking up and reading. There was minimal airflow on the hot day we visited, and some of the rooms got quite stuffy. Photography is thankfully allowed. Recommend buying ticket online. Restrooms are on the premises.

Incredibly ornate final resting places of Habsburg family members. Would love even more history work then, but absolutely worth a stop in Vienna!

This is by far the best place ever, I mean so much effort has been put into those tombs and coffins, you can feel the grandeur but also the peace, it is a bit difficult to explain, but must visit and see with your own eyes

Fascinating piece of history. So many intricate and unusual tombs in one place and the work that’s gone into them is astounding. Could be labelled a bit better but definitely a place you shouldn’t miss, especially for history buffs. The atmosphere is pretty unique.

Very interesting place. And u can make a tour rather quickly. But if u really appreciate the details u will be impressed.

It’s definitely a must see place. Hapsburg gamily was one of the most influential families in the history of Austria and Austrian empire. In this crypt there are 145 berried members of the royal Hapsburg family. Sarcophaguses were built using different materials, from bronze and coper (and other metals) to silver and gold for details on the sarcophaguses. For the best enjoyment make sure to learn more about the details on the sarcophaguses and their meaning because then most of it will make more sense. For example, a figure with folded eyes is not just that, it represents a guardian of the sarcophagus. Etc :) The ticket was something around 10 euros per person. It takes around an hour to run through the whole setup, unless you are into details :)

(Translated by Google) A wonderful excursion for all those who are interested in the Habsburgs and the history of Austria! Maria Theresa's ornate coffin is impressive. Emperor Franz Josef is also lying there next to his famous wife 'Sissi'. All in all, an impressive excursion! Highly recommended 😊 (Original) Ein wunderbarer Ausflug für all jene, die sich für die Habsburger und die Geschichte Österreichs interessieren! Der prunkvoll verzierte Sarg Maria Theresias ist beeindruckend. Auch Kaiser Franz Josef liegt dort neben seiner bekannten Frau 'Sissi'. Alles in allem ein beeindruckender Ausflug! Sehr weiterzuempfehlen 😊

(Translated by Google) If you visit Vienna, a "you can" :) The graves of the Habsburgs, interesting to see. Of course - I wanted to see the resting place of Franz Josef & Elisabeth. As far as I remember - it was there in 2016 - the entrance area was pretty bare, unspectacular, and from the outside the crypt was rather neutral. But then it goes very deep down ... (Original) Wenn man Wien besucht,ein "man kann" :) Die Gräber der Habsburger.Interessant zu betrachten. Natürlich - ich wollte die Ruhestätte von Franz Josef & Elisabeth sehen. Soweit ich mich erinnere - war 2016 dort - war der Eingangsbereich ziemlich nüchtern.Unspektakulär.Von außen war die Gruft eher neutral. Es geht dann aber sehr tief nach unten...

It's a very interesting experience but I love to have a guided tour to learn more about the monarchs buried there.

(Translated by Google) impressively (Original) Eindrucksvoll

(Translated by Google) 🇦🇹🔝👍😄 Very beautiful crypt, you have to see it when visiting Vienna. 🏁👍 (Original) 🇦🇹🔝👍😄 Sehr schöne Gruft, muss man beim Wienbesuch gesehen haben.🏁👍

An amazing visit at this place where tombs of the Australian imperial family is located. Some of the tombs are impressive with huge decorations. Also are present the tombs of Sissi and Franz. It's a place you must visit if you travel to Vienna! The only think is that the tombs are very dusty.. but sometimes this is what makes the visit characteristic!

(Translated by Google) I haven't been there for a long time, I'll go back to Corona. The imperial crypt is very interesting (Original) Lange nicht mehr dort gewesen, nach Corona werde ich wieder hingehen. Die Kaisergruft ist sehr interessant

Nicely displayed sarcophagi but the various translated brochure did not help the view understand or flow through displays. All the signs are in German, so if you don’t speak German, you’re just wandering through rooms after rooms of intricately made sarcophagi. Most interesting are the sheer amounts of baby/child crypts.

Really cool. We bought tickets online for 10a the next day and showed them at the door and got right in. It is smaller and probably could walk through on your own in 10-15 min without stopping to read anything. All the cryptos are amazing and creepy. Very clean place. Highly recommend seeing it... (also.. there are crypts of children)

Used my Vienna Pass to come here and it was creepily fascinating. Definitely worth exploring and especially if its a hot day!

I found it to be very interesting. It gives you the chance to see how the lifestyles and beliefs have changed throughout the centuries. I was surprised at how lax the security was. Would highly recommend this for a visit. There's nothing like it anywhere else in the world.

This place is full of the history of the Habsburger Dynasty. I grew up with the history and life of the Habsburger. So it was very important to visit place while we stayed in Vienna.

This place is very special If you now a lot about the Habsburg history. The people you read about are resting here. It's a beautiful and respectful place. A must visit if you're interested in history.

After spending a week visiting palaces and seeing portraits of Habsburgs in museums, it was a solemn experience to visit their final resting place and to be reminded that the end of the road is the same for everyone.

The place is in great condition and one can see how much effort was and still is being put in keeping this place an attraction even if it is a graveyard. The written guide which is found at the entrance is a must to be able to navigate through the history timetable but at some point it is to hard to keep track of all the Marias and Josephs. The main attraction should be Sisi’s grave/coffin/burial but the craftsmanship is very decent and the place is simple in comparison to the other coffins..which is not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind. All in all, was a cool experience but a pricey one and I cannot justify it. Is this an interesting place? Yes! Is it a must? Absolutely not. Perhaps for half of the price.

Fascinating id you like history

One of the most iconic crypts of the world. Beautiful sarcophagus and mausoleums. The coffins were ornate and respectful. Exquisite works were done on them. They were cryptic and symbolic as well. We visited with the Vienna Pass.

Impressive to see Sisi's grave, it is a very big an beautifully decorated casket. Other than that most of the museum is the same and not alot of special things to see except some of the decorations on the other caskets

Ok

(Translated by Google) The old emperors and kings, also female ones, are a bit scary and creepy down there in the huge crypt! 👍😏 Should be seen 1 × in life. (Original) Die alten Kaiser und Könige, auch weibliche, sind da unten in der riesigen Gruft a bissl unheimlich und gruselig! 👍😏 Sollte man 1× im Leben gesehen haben.👍

CAPUCHINS' CRYPT The burial place of the Habsburg family in Vienna It is just below the humble church and monastery of the Order of the Capuchin Friars, where the mortal remains of the rulers of the Habsburg empire are laid to rest. A tour through the Capuchins' Crypt takes you through 400 years of Austrian and European history, from the Thirty Years' War to revolutions and the first ideas for a united Europe. The greatest artists of their time designed the rooms, symbols of power on the sarcophagi bear testimony to the dynasty's imperial claim. Signs of transience and faith reflect personal trust in God and humility before their Creator. However, it is the human fate behind the offices, the triumphs and defeats which are ultimately moving. Today, the mortal remains of 150 Habsburg personalities rest in the Capuchins' Crypt.

An interesting Place, but a bit "Dark" for me for what is represent's, with all the amazing work of art cofins from the imperial cofins

(Translated by Google) Nice place, historical atmosphere (Original) Schöner Ort, historische Atmosphäre

Super cool crypt with booklets and info offered in several language translations. Worth about an hour or so of entertainment/learning about a very neat history of the royal bloodline. Would recommend to anyone.

Incredibly awesome coffins, you can watch some of the most intricate crafts and details in these masterpieces. Must visit for fans of swords, skulls, armors and royalty.

I have visited other Cappuccini churches in the past. This one is different because the simplicity of the church is balanced off by the opulence of some of the coffins in the crypt below. My favorite was the Maximilian I, Emperor of Mexico, executed only after three years after his election.

Quite interesting for a short visit, you probably won't spend more than 30 minutes unless you join one of the guided tours, which are in German only.

If you are a History Buff, an Art Lover or both... Definitely check this place out. All you need is an hour. Habsburg family burial vault.

This is the resting place of 149 members of the royal Habsburg family starting with the crypt's founders, but also proeminent figures such as Maria Theresa, Franz Joseph I, Sisi, Zita, the last Empress, her son, Otto and daughter in law, Regina. This is a place I recommend visiting before or after Schonbrunn to get a better umderstanding of royal life in the Germanic and Austrian Empire. The Crypt is impressing. It consists of multiple chabers representing different periods of time. Deffinately the most impressive tomb is Maria Theresa's, her..."coffin" occupies an entire room. Worth seeing for its history and impressive sculptures.

Probably one of my favorite experiences during my stay in Vienna. Definitely recommend the guided tour. Very informative and adds to the haunting factors.

What an amazing location! The imperial crypt is a unique travel destination that was a great spot to see. The Hapsburgs were such an important family it’s interesting to see the resting places of people whose names are very recognizable in the history books. Worth the price of admission for sure.

Very interesting place. Family grave from Habsburg Royal family. Some of the graves look very interesting. There are so many details on some of them. You need minimum an hour to visit this place. It's in city center and its very easy to find. For every recommendation. Not only for tourists.

Seeing the different coffins was very interesting however there were no English translations available on the descriptions of each coffin. Also, the pamphlet given was a bit hard to follow.

The main attraction in this simple church is the underground place of entombment for members of the House of Habsburg. Its an interesting place to visit, the place is morbid but also beautiful the 100 (or more) metal sarcophagi, some heart urns range in style from simple and plain to elaborately decorate. One can see little coffins of children and this is touching, and signs of offerings little artifacts people place near the coffins remind the visitors that life and memory linger on.

It took me about 45 minutes to go through the entire place. The tombs are amazing, in my opinion it's a little bit expensive for what it is but if you have time and money you won't regret it 😊

Absolutely amazing. All of central European history in one place. It includes the breathtaking huge tomb of Marie Theresa, the only female ruler of the lands of today's Czechia. Small guide available for free in several languages. Free toilets available.

Well worth a visit. Very interesting history. Seeing all the designs and style of the "coffins". Lots of history in there.

A dimly lit crypt with tombs. They vary in their detail and size, but many of the Austrian emperors are here. The artwork and attention to detail are impressive. It would be helpful to have some additional background before your visit, and visits to the Stephansdom crypt and Hofburg would be helpful for gaining that information before coming here. The building itself offers little to see. Plan about 60 minutes. No photography is allowed.

So expensive..

The place is very nice and filled with history but an audio guide is necessary to better understand what you are seeing, or at least some text in English. Room for improvement.

Must see when you come to Vienna. Vaults containing the remains of the Habsburgs.

Amazing place that reflects the Habsburg family history.

A piece of common history that you should not miss.

The crypt of the Habsburg Dynasty. Beneath the Capuchin church lies the tombs of the Habsburg dynasty. Maria Theresa, Maximilian the doomed emperor of Mexico, Franz Josef and Sisi, and a host of others lie buried here. Their coffins are elaborate and sometimes in strange macabre taste, but for anyone with an interest in the history of Vienna, or the Habsburgs in general, this place is a must-see.

(Translated by Google) Everything is fine .. I can only recommend it (Original) Alles bestens ..kann ich nur empfehlen

The most striking thing when being in this place is that the bodies of the actual rulers are in those magnificent tombs. It was a very interesting experience for me, I recommend it!

It's a nice visit if you want to see the remains of the Austrian monarchs. Some of the coffins are pretty impressive and there is some nice information but be aware that this is all you are getting...a bunch of coffins. Spooky for kids (which is a plus), I wish there was a bit more information on the people resting here...it's mainly just a sentence or two.

(Translated by Google) Sarcophagi attract a lot of attention. It is a curious visit and is not full of tourists.
