On Saturdays there is also a large flea market with antiques, used books and records.
What Can I Do While Shopping?
Vienna is a capital with almost 2 million inhabitants. That's why the shopping streets, districts and centers are spread all over the city, there are over 100 pedestrian zones in Vienna. This means that a visit to the most important sights can also be easily combined with a short break from shopping.
Examples are Mariahilferstrasse near the Museums Quartier and Kärnterstrasse with the famous Hotel Sacher, which stretches from the Vienna State Opera to the Stephans Square.
Then there are the Viennese weekly markets.
