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 |

Pedestrian area with good mix of shops and cafes |
Graben (Between Kohlmarkt and Kamtner Straße) Vienna Austria +43 1 21 1140 / +43 1 2 4555 (Tourism Board) |
During the 1300s Graben was located at the very edge of the city. Originally a large moat protecting the ramparts, it was filled in later to create a market area. This illustrious commercial history is continued today by an amazing array of stylish shops. Many old, established shops are located here including Schwabbische Jungfrau featuring linens, Habab and Heldwein the illustrious jewellers, and Julius Meinl am Graben with the finest in gourmet foods. Viennese Meissen porcelain is carried at Albin Denk. For the Persian carpet of your dreams, look no further than Adil Besim with some unrolling to gargantuan proportions. Men and women's fashions can be found in numerous boutiques, offering everything from tailored business suits to chic sportswear. To restore flagging energy, stop in one of the charming open-air cafes and indulge in a luscious cream pastry and rich coffee while gazing at the architectural confections that surround you.

Shopping for budget shoppers |
Mariahilfer Strasse Vienna, Vienna Austria +43 1 21 1140 / +43 1 2 4555 (Tourism Board) http://www.mariahilferstrasse.at/ |
After the collapse of the iron curtain, Vienna's eastern neighbours entered and Mariahilfer Strasse became their shopping mile; special offers for household equipment and signs in Czech became the norm. Today, since the completion of construction on the underground, Mariahilfer Strasse has widened its pavements and gained a lot of new stores: Virgin Megastore, Turek, Peek & Cloppenburg, Mango and H&M, to name but a few. On Saturdays during the Advent season the street is a pedestrian zone only. Review © 2007, Wcities |
