If there is one thing that Europe has tons of are beautiful cathedrals, imposing castles, and plenty of statutes/fountains (just look through all of my vacation photo albums). For a non-religious person, I always find myself visiting churches in my travels (it combines history, art, and awe inspiring architecture).
If you've seen one church, you've seen them all was definitely not the case with Stephansdom. From the outside, it was undergoing construction and the scaffolding was covered with a tarp of what the cathedral would look like if it wasn't there (there was a picture of the cathedral superimposed on the tarp). I've seen stained glass before, but it creates a stunningly beautiful effect inside of the church (it looks like a color prism projection over the columns and statutes). Its definitely a must see while in Vienna and there are plenty of shops/restaurants nearby.
