Zentralfriedhof

With nearly 3 million graves and covering an area of almost 2.5 km², this is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. It has an interdominational character, being subdivided into Catholic, Protestant, and two Jewish sections (one of which is still in use); newer divisions include Russian Orthodox, Buddhist, Muslim, and Mormon. The cemetery has served as a giant park for weekend ramblings since its creation in 1874, and though it is some distance from the city centre (25-30 min from Stephansplatz), it is worth the trip. The tram stops are named after the cemetery gate next to it: Zentralfriedhof 1. Tor is the entrance to the old Jewish section; Zentralfriedhof 2. Tor is the main gate. A public bus 106 (€0.60 or regular ticket) runs in the cemetery connecting all of the gates and areas.
