Shopping in Vienna
An original gift for a friend back home or a pretty keepsake for yourself - shopping is a
vacation treat in Vienna. This text presents an overview of the city’s best shopping
destinations, along with a number of insider tips.
Luxury in the city center
The range of shopping options is particularly rich and diverse in Vienna’s historic first district. Here,
the main – and most exclusive – shopping streets of Kohlmarkt, Graben and Kärntner Strasse form
a pedestrianized area, which is known locally as the Golden U. This luxury hotspot took on an
extra dimension in 2014 when the neighboring Goldenes Quartier (taking in Tuchlauben,
Bognergasse, Seitzergasse, and Am Hof) officially opened for business. Kohlmarkt is lined with
international brands such as Burberry, Cartier, Chopard, Dior, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana,
Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffany & Co and Tommy Hilfiger. Chanel can be
found at Tuchlauben 1. The roll call at the Goldenes Quartier is no less luxurious. Located in a
complex of heritage-listed historic buildings stretching between Tuchlauben and Am Hof, this new
development is home to an impressive line-up of big names including Bambini (children’s fashion),
Bottega Veneta, Brioni, Roberto Cavalli, Church’s, Brunello Cucinelli, Emporio Armani, Etro, Kiton,
Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Mulberry, Pomellato, Prada (its largest store in Europe), Saint
Laurent Paris, Sergio Rossi, Valentino, Louis Vuitton (including the second largest LV Maison store
in Europe), and 7 For all Mankind. The Goldenes Quartier complex is also home to the luxury Park
Hyatt Vienna hotel which opened its doors to guests in June 2014. Just opposite the Goldenes
Quartier, a raft of exclusive stores including Akris, Vivienne Westwood, Agent Provocateur and
Jimmy Choo are taking Tuchlauben by storm. A few streets further on is Hermès which has been a
fixture in the capital for many years, just like Versace.
And on Kohlmarkt in the midst of all this luxury, former Imperial court confectioner, Demel (est.
1786) provides a reminder of Vienna of yore with its sweet treats and eye-catching window
1
displays that showcase the high art of confectionary. A few buildings down is the equally illustrious
Meinl am Graben, with its delectable delicacies. On Graben, Altmann & Kühne awaits with its fine
pralines, lovingly packaged in little boxes and fabric specialists Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe carry a
full range of fine wools and silks. Meanwhile Schwäbische Jungfrau is the place for exclusive
tableware, bed linens and bathrobes; Nägele & Strubell and J. B. Filz’s stock in trade is upmarket
cosmetics.
Traditions must be upheld
Founded as a perfumery in 1809, J. B. Filz is a former purveyor to the Imperial Court. The title
Purveyor to the Imperial Court dates back to 1782 and was a distinction bestowed upon merchants
deemed worthy of supplying the Imperial Court thanks to the exceptional quality of their products.
Over the years, the distinction became a highly prestigious honorary title and a truly first class seal
of quality used by over 500 companies. While the Imperial Court disappeared long ago, the
German-language title k.u.k. Hoflieferant endures as an assurance of quality to this day. Examples
include noble glass and chandelier maker Lobmeyr; jewelers Köchert, Rozet & Fischmeister and
Anton Heldwein; elegant gentlemen’s outfitters, Knize & Comp; Augarten Wien porcelain;
traditional shoe maker, Rudolf Scheer & Söhne; and the Hotel Sacher home to the original SacherTorte — all of which are located in the First District.
Traditions must be upheld, as they say. It is therefore no accident that there are so many antique
shops in the First District. The side streets around Graben, (incl. Dorotheergasse, Stallburggasse
and Bräunerstrasse) are brimming with boutiques selling Baroque armories, renaissance chests,
fine carpets, magnificent timepieces, paintings, porcelain and antique jewelry. Wiener Silber
Manufactur in Spiegelgasse offers authentic reproductions of Viennese silverwork. Pieces include
a dinner service based on original designs by Josef Hoffmann and Oswald Haerdtl. The
Dorotheum auction house (est. 1707) – one of the world’s largest – is a magnet for lovers of
attractive antiques.
International brands and Viennese design
The Old Town’s attractions go well beyond the traditional. Anyone looking for international designer
fashion will find what they are looking for at Firis, Chegini, Amicis, Emis, Liska and inked, where
gems from Dries van Noten, Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Fendi, Christian Dior, Lanvin,
Givenchy, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney, Chloé and other
designers line the racks. A number of Viennese designers have shops in the First District as well.
Highlights include couturiers Michel Mayer, and Schella Kann, accessory specialists Robert Horn
2
and Eva Blut, and luxury shoemaker Ludwig Reiter. Mühlbauer sells hats from its own portfolio at
its Seilergasse premises, and artup carries a range of original clothing and accessories, including
one offs and limited production runs created by Vienna-based designers. Runway Vienna also
carries a fine assortment of Austrian fashion from established designers to newcomers. And
anyone who is on the lookout for upmarket Vienna souvenirs is certain to find the ideal memento at
The Viennastore.
Kärntner Strasse is home to one of just a handful of department stores in the city. Split across
several floors, the Steffl department store offers fashion, fragrances and accessories. The nearby
Ringstrassen Galerien is a spacious, indoor shopper’s paradise containing 70 shops and
restaurants. Department store Peek & Cloppenburg has moved into a new building created by
British architect David Chipperfield on the famous shopping street, opposite another relative
newcomer, world-famous crystal maker Swarovski, which has a three-floor boutique packed with
jewelry, fashion, accessories, design objects and its highly collectable crystal figurines.

Mariahilfer Strasse: Vienna’s longest shopping street
Emperor Franz Joseph used to travel along Mariahilfer Strasse as he shuttled between
Schönbrunn Palace and the Hofburg. This street connecting the Ringstrasse boulevard and the
Gürtel beltway cuts an almost two kilometer path through the 6th and 7th Districts. Today it is
Vienna’s number one shopping destination and partly pedestrianized. This large thoroughfare
features broad sidewalks and has attracted hundreds of shops and flagship stores carrying
international brands, with a particular focus on fashion, footwear, accessories and interior design.
There are also countless eateries, including cafés, ice-cream shops, fast food restaurants and
pizzerias. Echoes of times gone can be heard at traditional shops like Walter Weiss which stocks
virtually everything the heart desires when it comes to grooming – from combs to shaving brushes
and mirrors.
Off the beaten track
A detour from the beaten shopping path is well worth it. A hip shopping zone and bar and
restaurant scene has sprung up on and around Gumpendorfer Strasse in the 6th district on the
south side of Mariahilfer Strasse. “das möbel” stocks home furnishings and interior design
5
accessories created by young Viennese and international product designers. At Lichterloh there
are furniture classics of the 20th century and at Saint Charles Cosmothecary premium natural
cosmetics are the order of the day. Fashion devotees will find collections by the next generation of
design talent at Nachbarin, We bandits is the place for fashion created by young international
designers, while Anukoo and anzüglich sell laid-back organic wear that comes complete with a fair
trade certificate.
In the 7th District on the north side of Mariahilfer Strasse there is an even greater range of
products for individualists to choose from. This district is Vienna’s creative hub. The recently
gentrified Baroque and Biedermeier buildings and narrow streets around the Spittelberg quarter
are home to numerous shops. Lindengasse is a great example. The street primarily concentrates
on highly original fashions and fashion-related products with many pieces from up-and-coming
Viennese designers: great fashion and fine jewelry from Awareness and Consciousness, Elke
Freytag, Lieblingsplatz and Tiberius. There are playful accessories in Sandra Gilles’ la petite
boutique and one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry at Werkprunk. étagère provides shelf space for rent,
an offer that somewhere in the region of 80 artists and designers are currently using to sell their
handmade jewelry, fashion, and accessories.
Kirchengasse is another shopping mecca for individuals. Vienna eco label Göttin des Glücks
produces fair-trade fashions, Herr und Frau Klein carries a full range of adorable children’s fashion,
ulliKo tailors its collections exclusively in black, white and red, and S/GHT presents young designer
fashion from Austria, Germany, Italy and Hungary. The lila and Ferrari Zöchling labels are among
the Viennese labels on offer in this part of town. Fair trade and sustainable design articles also line
the racks at Le Shop, while delicate one-offs made of gold, silver and stone can be found next door
at Schmuckladen. The minusplus salon is not only the place for cutting edge hairstyles, it also
makes its own range of high-end natural cosmetics under the “Less is more” brand.
At bijou concept store ebenBerg on Neubaugasse the racks are exclusively reserved for fair trade
clothing, while Mühlbauer Hutmanufaktur is the place to go for chic headwear. In
Mondscheingasse, Park puts the focus on avant-garde fashion labels and in Gutenberggasse
designer shoppers will find examples of Lena Hoschek’s chicly nostalgic and lovingly handcrafted
collections. A few streets further down, on Westbahnstrasse, Wall wins converts as a hairdressercum-boutique. Russian-born Lena Kvadrat’s showroom “ArtPoint” on Neubaugasse offers young
fashion. Great multifunctional leather bags can be found at Ina Kent on Siebensterngasse, with
cool streetwear for men available at Arnold’s right next door. Das goldene Wiener Herz on
romantic Kirchberggasse is the place for stylish souvenirs. Meanwhile, at St.-Ulrichs-Platz 4
eigensinnig presents international avant garde labels. Nearby, Burggasse 24 stocks an exclusive
range of vintage clothing. The nearby MuseumsQuartier fits in perfectly with this creative ambience.

Cultural and epicurean delights are accompanied by highlights such as the fine selection of young
fashion designers at Combinat, and Musiktank where customers can simply and inexpensively
download the latest music directly onto their MP3 players. MQ Point, next to the main entrance to
the MuseumsQuartier, not only sells tickets to the museums but also carries an interesting range of
unusual gifts and quirky keepsakes.

Around the Naschmarkt
Vienna’s largest market is a mandatory destination for lovers of fine food and drink, featuring fruits
and vegetables, meat and fish, cold cuts and cheeses, spices and gourmet vinegar. There is
practically nothing that the Naschmarkt doesn’t have. And if that was not enough, there are
countless chic bars and restaurants where visitors can enjoy a culinary break. On Saturdays the
area adjoining the Naschmarkt is transformed into a flea market where antique dealers and private
stallholders sell treasures and trinkets. While in the area, the neighboring streets are always worth
a visit. Schleifmühlgasse boasts a burgeoning gallery scene and a variety of great shops. Choose
between high quality vintage fashion from Flo, austere clothing designs from Pregenzer Fashion
Store, classic 20th century furniture from Rauminhalt, one of the hundreds of cookbooks from
Babette’s or quirky recycled design items from Gabarage.
Kettenbrückengasse, at the end of the Naschmarkt, has established a name for itself as a nice little
shopping street in recent years.. Attractive knick knacks are on sale at Anna Stein and Mein
Design, alongside eye-catching retro fashion from Bananas, luxury natural cosmetics from
stattGarten Shop and delicious desserts and pralines from Patisserie Fruth. The street is also the
new location of the Vienna Lomographic Society (the ones with the Russian cameras). The
Lomography Embassy Shop Vienna not only sells cult Lomo cameras, but also stocks various
pieces by Austrian and international designers and an interesting selection of gadgets. Designer
fashion label Elfenkleid is just around the corner on Margaretenstrasse, and from there it is only a
few meters to the Samstag-Shop which is run by Viennese fashion designer Peter Holzinger. Next
comes concept store Unikatessen where shoppers can get their hands on a nice new outfit, and
finally porcelain manufacturer feine dinge, which sell beautiful mugs and vases from the creative
hand of Sandra Heischberger.

Off center
The 2nd District is only separated from the 1st District by the Danube Canal. Just a short stroll over
the bridge is designer boutique Song, with collections from international fashion stars such as AF
Vandevorst, Veronique Branquinho, Walter van Beirendonck and Delvaux. Located in the heritagelisted, 19th century Dogenhof, Supersense on Praterstrasse is an eclectic crossover between a
café, concept store and craft studio. The spectacular Jean Nouvel-designed high-rise on the left
bank of the Danube Canal contains the luxury Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom, as well as the 20 or so
interior design and furniture stores on 6,000 square meters that make up the Stilwerk design center.
The area around the Karmelitermarkt is coming back to life thanks to countless excellent shops
and bars. Guter Stoff on Glockengasse prints custom logos on organic fairtrade t-shirts, while Nagy
knits pullovers and dresses from its own wools. Nearby, Wundertüte always has the right gift for
adults and children.
The 16th District’s two large markets in Brunnengasse and on Yppenplatz are a magnet for new
business ideas. Vienna jelly makers Staud’s has long been a fixture at the Yppenmarkt where a
lively bar and restaurant scene has gradually emerged. A short walk from the market, Mano Design
on Grundsteingasse offers designer hand-finished porcelain.
