Lonely Planet review

For some, the beauty of the Greek Orthodox Church on Fleischmarkt outshines many of its baroque counterparts. Built in 1861 by Vienna's Greek community, its interior is a glittering blaze of Byzantine design that has left no wall space untouched. The ceiling fresco depicting the prophets surrounded by swirls of gold is topped by a high alter of 13 panels and a doorway to the inner sanctum, each of which features elaborate gilding.

Outside opening hours, the church's dark entranceway provides a taster of the rich church within. The church is easy to spot; look for the colourful brickwork façade next to Griechenbeisl.
