Vienna City Shopping
Shopping
is a pleasure in Vienna - elegant boutiques, department stores and a
surprising diversity of speciality shops are clustered in the city center as
well as the surrounding districts, interspersed with cafes and bars for
those necessary breaks.
Vienna City Center
The most fashionable shopping streets are within the city center, all
being pedestrian zones: The Kärntnerstrasse, stretching from the Opera house
to Stephansplatz. Directly adjacent, the upmarket Graben starts from
Stephansplatz to the west, followed by Kohlmarkt, where a lot of designer
labels can be found.
Scattered around the fairly touristic city center you can also find all the
mainstream fashion stores as well as many souvenir shops.
Mariahilfer Strasse
Starting from Ringstrasse (U3 Volkstheater or U2 Museumsquartier)
towards Westbahnhof (U3 Westbahnhof), this popular shopping mile features
basically everything from old-fashioned small stores and ethnic specility
fashion shops to the commonly found large department stores - a very
interesting mixture catering to different needs and basically every price
range.
Alternative shopping
The quarter north of Mariahilfer Strasse, including Westbahnstrasse,
Siebensterngasse and Neubaugasse towards Zieglergasse is the perfect place
for alternative and trendy shopping. The offers range from second hand
shops, asian and latino venues to young and fashionable designer stores and
ethnic supermarkets. Make sure to take a break at one of the countless
little cafés!
