Vienna Travel Guide

Vienna tend to be equally modern and old-fashioned. The traditional Vienna is but one of the many façades of this city. It is also a dynamic, young city, famous for its music scene with independent labels, cult-status underground record stores and a vibrant club scene.

Shopping

Even if you skip every other store in Vienna, check this one out. This well-run store sells hundreds of handmade art objects. Leading artists and craftspeople throughout the country organized this cooperative to showcase their wares. The location is easy to find, only half a minute’s walk from St. Stephan’s Cathedral. There’s an especially good selection of pewter, along with modern jewelry, glassware, brass, baskets, ceramics, and serving spoons fashioned from deer horn and bone. Take some time to wander through; you never know what treasure is hidden in a nook of this cavernous three-floor outlet.
