Hiking

The grave of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven is very easy to find. It is located “near” the “main entrance” on the path to the “cemetery chapel” on the left side.

Ludwig van Beethoven's grave is located in Vienna's Central Cemetery in the 11th district. Beethoven, who died in Vienna in 1827, was initially buried in the Währinger Cemetery and then transferred to the Central Cemetery in 1888. His simple honorary grave lies in the Composers' Field among other famous musicians and features a commemorative plaque bearing his name and dates of birth and death. Today, the grave is a popular destination for music lovers and visitors wishing to pay their respects to the great composer.
