Julius Meinl am Graben: FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

    Food, glorious food!
    by themajor
    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.

    How long is a pice of string...or should that be spaghetti?

    On the outskirts of the city are several shopping centres such as the SCS.
    Shopping City Süd, to the south of the city, is Vienna's equivalent of a mall.

    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.

    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

    the market with the Rathaus /
    townhall
    by globetrott, 4 more photos
    Adventzauber am Rathausplatz is the largest of all christmas-markets in Vienna and it includes a lot of activities for children, like rides in a train for children, pony-carriages, small huts, where professional actors are reading fairy-tales etc. A lot of the many giant trees in the park are lighted in a really beautiful way and there are benches as well (and in dec. 8th,2006 it was even warm enough to sit there...).
    Some years ago you could buy socks, steam-irons etc. there as well, THAT IS OVER NOW : This market is a must, especially when you considder the scenic place between Burgtheater and the Rathaus (townhall), also the paths between the stands are wider now and mostly you will have enough space to walk through the market.
    In 2009 this market is open Nov. 14th till Dec. 24th
    daily from 10.00a.m. till 09.30p.m.
    Fri & Sat. it closes at 10.00pm
    It ends already at 06.00p.m. at dec.24th !!
    Dogs are allowed here !

    There are almost the same goods that you may buy also at the other x-mas-markets as well.
    The drinks are served in porcelain-cups that you have to pay 2 euros for a deposit !
    You may take it home as well, the one of Rathausmarkt looks really nice !

    Glühwein / Punch etc. starts with a price of 3 euros, same prices as all other markets !

    by globetrott, 4 more photos
    Spittelberger Weihnachtsmarkt is famous mainly for 2 reasons :
    1) Spittelberg is one of the old parts of the city with narrow streets, cobbled stones etc. and 2) in this area a lot of artists have settled and built their arteliers here, that are nowadays also part of the x-mas-market.
    This market will mostly be the 1st one to open every year
    in 2009 it is open from Nov. 14th till Dec. 23rd
    Monday-Friday 02.00p.m. till 09.00p.m.
    Saturdays : 10.00am - 09.30pm
    Sunday & holiday (=dec. 8th) : 10.00am - 09.00pm
    and December 6th : 02.00 - 09.30pm

    Besides a lot of things that you may get at all the other places as well, you will find some special works of art ONLY here at Spittelberg. In Spittelberg there are also some stands with handicrafts from Africa and other places from overseas

    Kunsthandwerksmarkt am
    Karlsplatz
    by globetrott, 3 more photos
    Kunsthandwerksmarkt am Karlsplatz is the name of another christmas-market that is speciallized in unique handicrafts by various artists, and once again that main attraction of this market is the location next to the beautifully lighted Karlskirche.
    They have some attractions for children as well, like the small train that you may see on my 3rd picture .
    Kunsthandwerksmarkt am Karlsplatz is open
    in 2009 from Nov. 20th till Dec. 23rd
    daily between noon and 08.00p.m.

    They have a nice cup with the Karlskirche on it, you have to pay a deposit of 2 euros for it, when you order a drink and of course you may keep it as a souvenir as well.

    Prices are similar to the other markets
