Address

In the 11th district southeast of the centre; Tor 2 is the main gate, close to the honorary graves

Vienna is said to have a soft spot for a good funeral, and this is the proof. Enter at Tor 2 and head for Group 32A, where Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and the Strauss family lie close together; Mozart gets a memorial only. Falco's grave stands nearby, usually piled with flowers and fan offerings. The grounds are enormous, and the honorary graves alone take about an hour.
