Lonely Planet review

Also known as the Biedermeier cemetery, after the period when all 6000 graves were laid out, St Marxer Friedhof (Cemetery of St Mark) is a pilgrimage site for Mozart aficionados. In December 1791 Mozart was buried in an unmarked grave with none of his family present. A poignant memorial (Mozartgrab) made from a broken pillar and a discarded stone angel was erected in the area where he was most likely buried.

In May the cemetery is blanketed in lilies and is a sight to behold.
