The cathedral itself doesn't allow large suitcases or trolley bags inside, and there's no on-site storage desk to leave them at. Stasher bookings around the cathedral are busiest at weekends and in May and December, so reserving ahead then is worthwhile.

Getting to the cathedral with your bags

The nearest metro station is Stephansplatz, served by U-Bahn lines U1 and U3, and it leads directly to the cathedral. You'll barely walk at all from the platform exit to the cathedral itself, which helps if you're managing a bag before storing it. The main entrance, the Riesentor on the west side, offers step-free access to the cathedral interior. Inside, visiting times are Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to 11.30 and 13.00 to 16.30, and on Sundays and public holidays it is open only from 13.00 to 16.30. The two towers keep longer hours, open all year round from 9.00 to 18.00.
