The 1st district areas of Kärntnerstrasse and Graben contain the most exclusive shops and coffee houses. Keep a look out for ‘Augarten’ porcelain, petit-point needlework and, of course, the famous Sachertorte chocolate cake. The equivalent of Oxford Street is the Mariahilferstrasse.
About Gardenhotel Theresia (Hinterglemm)
Get away from it all at Gardenhotel Theresia. There's a real emphasis on health and wellness here, as well as the environment, so you enjoy the benefits of the fresh mountain air and feel energised and relaxed at the end of each day.
