Freyung 3 Vienna A-1010 Austria +43 1 533 12 33 |
This store carries only Bree handbags, purses, rucksacks, backpacks, and travel bags— all with classic and sophisticated style.

 Where Freud is still alive |
Berggasse 2 Vienna 1090 Austria +43 1 319 53 06 http://www.bookscout.at |
This street is well-known due to one of its former inhabitants: It was here that Sigmund Freud analysed his patients on the famous couch (Berggasse 19)! The publishing house Facultas somehow continues this tradition and brings out books about all medical and pharmaceutical fields, including psychoanalysis. There is also a good choice of more general literature about health available, along with books on alternative methods and treatments. So, now you know where to go in order to find out more about the Oedipus complex! Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Flowershop with a difference |
Schottenring 16 Vienna 1010 Austria +43 1 532 06 77 |
Unexpected natural beauty unfolds in this very special flower shop, situated in the Roman market hall of the Vienna Stock Exchange building. The white walls of the market hall in the basement of the Stock Exchange building are in sharp contrast with the abundance of plants and flowers of all sizes and colors. You can find everything, from palm trees and cut flowers of the season to water-lilies, all nicely arranged. Since there is a lot of space you can also buy original vases and flower pots and all kinds of garden equipment such as wellies and shovels. In the adjacent restaurant "Hansen" you can enjoy a cup of Viennese coffee or a nice lunch, while resting your eyes on the beautiful surroundings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Indian dreams come true |
Freyung Passage/Palais Ferstel Vienna A-1010 Austria +43 1 535 44 46 |
A small and intimate shop along the Freyung Passage which specializes in North American Indian jewelry, rich with turquoise and silver. Dream catchers, Indian figures, and Native American style pictures are also sold at this location. However, if you are truly a lover of Indian lore, take the trip and visit their main location at SCS. Both of these locations are large and the merchandise also includes Western and bikewear, boots, belts, t-shirts, buckles, and chokers. Prices are moderate and a real bargain for collectors of Indian jewelry, et.al. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In the well-organised department for antiquarian books you might find the out-of-print publication that you're after!
