save for a map to where the remembrance point for Mozart was located, no real overview. Due to an injured leg, I gave up. A cemetry with wild bushes and trees, not so special

The Central Cemetery (Wiener Zentralfriedhof) is a beautiful place to walk around in. You can look at the different grave sites, including those of famous composers, and other historical figures. You may even spot some of the little animals in the cemetery. If you do not speak German and you're looking for something specific, e.g., Beethoven's grave, it would be best to look it up ahead of time as it may be difficult to find your way around once there (without speaking German).

Loved walking around the cemetery where it is quiet and serene. If you like classical music you can find cemeteries of the famous composers (Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss and Brahms) from the classical era. They also have cemeteries of famous artists and architects.
