Historic downtown Vienna is one of the most beautiful and acclaimed shopping districts in Europe. One shop is lined up right after the other. From small exclusive fashion shops to large department stores. Located on and around the Mariahilfer Strasse and Kärntner Strasse, on the Graben and the Kohlmarkt are countless boutiques, jewelry stores and perfume shops. Naturally, what would Vienna be without a few souvenir shops as well? After all, every visitor loves to return home with a keepsake from this beautiful city.
During and after shopping: Mouthwatering Viennese specialties
The city's many restaurants are a great setting in which to sample the best of Viennese cooking. Featuring countless Austrian and international dishes, it is renowned and loved far and wide. As diverse as the city, so, too, is its culinary culture. A traditional Viennese eatery is the Beisl, where you can expect to enjoy hearty local fare. Griessnockerl soup, the famous Wiener Schnitzel, goulash and delicious desserts such as pancakes and Kaiserschmarren, all take their rightful place on the menu.
Vienna's hotels don't only invite you to spend the night, of course. In the hotel kitchens, they cook with the same passion, love and quality as the city's gourmet restaurants - their goal being to captivate guests with unforgettable culinary impressions that reflect the Viennese approach to life itself. For conferences, congresses and seminars, for glittering wedding receptions and other family festivities, ample dining rooms await.
