The graves of 4 great composers lie next to each other in the Vienna Zentralfriedhof (central cemetery).

Directions:
If you would like to visit the gravesite, first take the U3 to Simmering.
At Simmering, get on the 71 Strassenbahn (street tram) travelling away from the city center.
Exit the 71 at Zentralfriedhof, Tor 2 (Central Cemetery, Gate 2).
Walk straight through the gate, toward the church (Karl Borromäus-Kirche). Several hundred meters into the cemetery, you'll see the composers' graves on the left-hand side of the promenade.

good pictures... i enjoy the detailed shots you have made. I am an american, and live permanentily (since 1981) here in germany. I shoot a lot of pictures here and where ever i travel. If you are interested in any from german cities, i have nurnberg, rothenburg, wurzburg,bamberg, and many many others... i just shot salzburg, got 3000 photos of venice... I use the photos myself to see with (macular degeneration) and to draw from (pen and ink drawings). I have been wanting to get to wien, but haven't been able to get the time... my daughter lives in budapest and i will probably get there this summer. I shoot with a nikon D-70 with various lens... again, keep up the nice work.. galen
