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.
