The visitor who wants to buy a typical souvenir can take a turn in Mariahilfer Strasse,an historic shopping street where it’s possible to find an exclusive article or custom-made shoes but where a considerable economic budget is required. . Another “golden triangle” for shopping is those one included in the streets between St.Stephen’s cathedral and the Hofburg, with many luxury shops. Instead for the tourist who wants to spend less,”steffi”department stores offer also the chance of relaxing himself in their inner bars and restaurants among the purchases.If the most traditional souvenir is the loden,which you can buy together with others typical clothing ,the greediest is without doubt chocolate that you can find in many famous pastry shops of the city. Other traditional items are wooden fancy goods and gifts and manufactured glass. Also daily local street markets located in different parts of the city are interesting : very nice is the gastronomic one in Naschmarkt(daily)and flea market nearby Kettenbruckengasse(every saturday).A particular importance has Baby Jesus market which fills up the square with people and market stalls from half november till Christmas’eve; this local market has an ancient tradition of more than 7 centuries and a world wide renown.
