One of the things I did in Vienna was visit this massive old cemetery.  I've got a thing for old cemeteries.  There were some really incredibly graves.  Some were these huge monuments built to their families.  It was really neat to see instead of the usual headstone.  There were some really beautiful ones.  There were also quite a few pretty famous people buried here.

Beethoven

Schubert

Strauss

Brahms

This is a monument built for Mozart, but he isn't actually buried here.  He's buried a few miles away in a mass grave.  Check out the movie Amadeus if you're interested about his life and music.  Good stuff.
