A street for shopping, walking, and sightseeing

Kaerntnerstrasse is a wonderful shopping street in Vienna’s noble historic area. This street encompasses the stretch from the State Opera House to St. Stephans Cathedral. You won’t find modern chain stores here, rather old shops like Mayr & Fessler where you can buy authentic Viennese souvenirs.

Kaerntnerstrasse, for all of its centuries old shops, keeps up with the times. There is a website dedicated to helping you find your way around. You can plan your stops visiting stores in linear order along the walkway or by chronological order starting with Lobmeyr founded in 1823. Enjoy strolling Kaerntnerstrasse, taking in the historical and architectural sites, and shopping.
