Vienna has many examples of its past great wealth. St. Peters reflects the investment of a suitable share-it is magnificant.

the great design and architecture you already see when you are looking at the outside trim of the building. where are black lines everywhere framing the main structure. i thought that was stunning. the inside is very rich but not overloaded. this church has a nice energy and even if you are not particularly religious you can appreciate the beauty...

This church, which is centraly located, is a must to visit. If you only have a little time, make sure you stop by for a short visit. I have seen churches most particularly in Roma, Florence, Praha and Budapest and was very impressed by this one.

Beautiful small baroque church that looks like a jewel box inside. We arrived during an organ concert. The heavens were aligned. This church is photogenic (photographs very well). If you are nearby, you should go.

Down a minor side street off the agraben pedestrian area of central Vienna, the green domes of Peterskirche peek out at the traveller. A pleasant sight, but the real treasure is inside. While the interior of the nearby Stefansdom is late Gothic with a twist, that of Peterskirche is all Baroque, brimming with rounded gilt sculpture, bulbous cherubs, gilt domes... More

In the evening I attended at 45-minute organ concert (free of charge, donation only). It was one of the best performances which I've ever heard in one of the most beautiful churches which I've seen. Please, don't miss this unique opportunity.

we visited this church as a part of long night of the churches. The exceptional beauty of the ceiling paintings and the side chapels set this church apart.
