 | Vienna Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 217 |  |
Popular Shopping | Other Shopping Tips | All Tips (217) If you've been to London and enjoyed visiting Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly, then this is the food shop for you. Similar in style and replete with fine produce from around the world it really is a delight. True, things aren't at supermarket prices but they're not too bad - and if it's quality and choice you are after, this is a food store par excellence. If you cant face walking any longer, and the evening trawl for restaurants doesn't appeal, you could do a lot worse than smuggle back some fine purchases from the delicatessen section into your hotel room to provide a relaxed supper. Be discreet though. Don't leave a mess for your chambermaids and dispose of your rubbish outside the hotel the next morning.

This shop is on Kohlmarkt, one of the nicest pedestrianised shopping streets in the city. It is just across the street from Demel and the perfect place to go after some hot chocolate and strudel. Berndt and Freytag are famous map-makers and this shop caters exclusively for travellers. You can buy maps, travel guides, beautifully illustrated glossy coffeetable-type books, language courses and maps and speciality guides of all sorts.
Most people already have their travel guides so what I would buy here is one of their lovely photographic books on some part of Austria. There were several on the Wachau area we had driven through on the way to Melk.
A lot or a little. The books aren't any more expensibve than in the other bookshops. Theme: BooksAddress: Kohlmarkt 9Directions: Heading towards Graben from Michaelerplatz, across the street from Demel Cafe.Website: www.freytahberndt.at

Kaerntner Strasse, Graben, and Kohlmarkt are some of Vienna's more upscale shopping streets. They are located right in the center, spreading out in the pedestrian area around the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's church). You can find stores carrying a wide variety of goods, from books to electronics, jewelry, underwear, and lots more. Some of the more famous stores are the Meindl-shop (delicatessen), Swarovsky-crystal, Douglas (perfumes), Manner-schnitten (sweets) and many more. There are also a bunch of little souvenier-stores that sell Vienna/Mozart specific merchandise. And not to forget the coffee-houses and restaurants...
Between the stores you can find landmarks, such as the "Stock im Eisen", famous fountains, St. Stephen's church, Mozart's apartment (in a little side-street off St. Stephen's square), the famous hotel "Sacher", the Viennese Opera house (at the end of Kaerntner Strasse), the Opern-passage (shopping center), and much more.
During your stroll around these streets, don't forget to look up from time to time - the roofs and buildings are beautiful. Lots of angels, statues, and decorations since most were built hundreds of years ago before the time of square concrete blocks.
Mozart-kugeln, Sacher-torte, and Vienna-knick-knack;
but besides that you can find pretty much anything your heart desires
since it is in the center of Vienna, and a high tourist-area, prices are higher than in most other parts of the city Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 1st districtDirections: underground line U1 to Stefansplatz goes from Stefansplatz all the way down to Kaerntner Ring (where the opera house is located).Website: http://www.wes.at

I had read about Meinl Am Graben on Alusru's Vienna page and was looking forward to eating in the restaurant. Unfortunately the evening we arrived it was closed but we came back the next day to do some shopping downstairs. This is the main shop of Julius Meinl's chain and everytime I passed by it was absolutely thronged with shoppers. Downstairs is a veritable gourmet paradise with all sorts of sweet and savoury delicacies.
If Iwas living in Vienna I imagine this would be a place I would visit regularly for cheese, pate and wine. Unfortunately, with little room to carry anything extra home with me I was restricted to buying chocolate. Their chocolate bars are easy to slip into a suitcase and really top quaity as well (I was obliged to taste, just to ensure that it was suitable for my family's consumption.) They were extremely lucky in fact to get any as I Battled with the temptation to eat the whole lot myself.
Some things are expensive but the chocolate was only a little dearer than in other shops. Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Am Graben 19Directions: At the opposite end of Graben to Stepansplatz.Website: www.meinl.com

The pleasure of window shopping for things you cannot afford is only surpassed by the thrill of realising that you might just be able to buy them. It's unlikely happen in this case though!
Strolling down Wollzeile one evening, we came across a rather swish shop selling watches, clocks, jewellery etc My eye was drawn to this rather extraordinary timepiece in the window. Not particularly pretty, in fact not really to my taste at all. Even so, I was fascinated to see that the dial on the timepiece stretched all the way to the year 3000! After much delving I later discovered that this was Jaeger le Coultre's 'Atmos du Millénaire', an extraordinary bit of mechanical engineering powered purely by fluctuations in temperature and guaranteed to outlive both it's owner and a good many of his ancestors. Needless to say, no price was visible in the window and I wasn't able to find a price online either - I doubt they're embarrassed because it's so cheap and affordable!
I dread to think! Probably not a good idea to put it in the kids bedroom and I wouldn't want to be the one who dropped it at 11.59 pm on the 31st December 2999! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Wollzeile 8, 1010, WienPhone: +43 1/535 4828Directions: A short stroll from Stephansplatz

On one side of the Museum Quarter , opposite the Leopold and Kunst Museum is a very hip and modern shopping area called Quartier 21. Electric Avenue is a series of interconnected shops and cafes one leading on from the other and here you can purchase some seriously attractive artistic souvenirs. The shop I liked best here was Prachner where the books were laid out with easy access in mind and you could sit and browse in comfortable leather armchairs. Art books and calenders predominate but music, literature and architecture are also covered.
A book on Schiele or Klimt maybe would be a good purchase here but expensive and heavy to carry round with you. A perfect souvenir/present would be anything from their calender section.
A reasonable amount for calenders and smaller items but the books were on the pricey side. Theme: ArtAddress: Quartier 21Directions: In the Museum Quarter directly opposite the Leopold Museum. Cross the road from the Kunsthistorische museum and go under the arch.Website: www.vienna.info
