Mariahilfer Straße
Mariahilfer Straße (in Viennese: Mahü) is the largest and most famous shopping street in Vienna. The Innere Mariahilfer Street is about 1.8 km long and connects the city center with the Westbahnhof. It is easy to reach with the U3 (stations Westbahnhof, Zieglergasse and Neubaugasse) In addition to numerous gastronomic facilities, shopping enthusiasts will find everything their hearts desire. Dozens of fashion stores, furniture stores, supermarkets, souvenir shops and many more are lined up along the Mahü. However, also in the side streets there are many other shops and restaurants waiting to be explored.
Market place
Meislmarkt
a covered market hall and is located at the U3 station Johnstraße in a former water reservoir. Since there are several shops above the market, iit acts more like a shopping centre. It can be reached on foot within 10 minutes, or you can take the U3
Brunnenmarkt
is the longest street market in Vienna. It is located in the 16th district in Brunnengasse starting at Thaliastraße until Yppenplatz. There are around 40 to 50 stalls on the market from Monday to Friday, but up to 120 on Saturdays, which makes it the second largest inner-city market in Vienna after the Naschmarkt. A lively local culture with bars and restaurants has also developed on Yppenplatz. However, it is not as overcrouded by tourists as the Naschmarkt. The easiest way to get there is to take the U6 line exiting Thaliastraße or Josephstätterstraße.
Cafés, Restaurants and more
There are many restaurants, bars and cafes and tale away shops in the immediate vicinity. Below you will find a small selection that we have personally tested and which we can reassuringly recommend.
Kent
Märzstraße (approx. 3 minutes on foot)
An absolute “place to be”. In addition to an excellent breakfast buffet, the restaurant also offers an excellent selection of freshly prepared Turkish-Levantine dishes for lunch and dinner. Another attraction are the specialties that are prepared on the charcoal grill in the restaurant.

Schweglerstraße 12 (approx. 3 minutes walking)
All Rice Bangkok Street Food offers excellent Thai street food dishes. When the weather is nice, you can also dine in the small garden directly on Schweglerstraße. However, since there is a lot of traffic, it is recommended to order in advance and to take away the delicious Asian dishes.
Café Z
Meiselstraße 2 (approx. 3-5 minutes walking)
When you are in front of it, the Café Z looks rather inconspicuous. However, Cafe Z scores not only with regional and organic products but also with a cosy, quiet atmosphere.

Eissalon Di Jimmy

In the ambience of an old Viennese restaurant, the main focus of this restaurant is on burgers and beer. 14 different draft beers, dozens of bottled beers and more than 20 burger variations are available.

Due to the quaint and cosy atmosphere and because it is well-known in Vienna for its burgers, we recommend making a reservation in advance.

Jogging
The area at the small-scale garden „Zukunft auf der Schmelz“ is ideal for jogging. The many small paths on the Schmelz are forbidden for cars and therefore offer a good running track
For larger laps, we recommend a run to the park at Schönbrunn Castle. To get there run down Schweglerstraße cross over the Schmelzbridge, then run along Avediktstraße to Auer-Welsbach-Park. Cross the park and you will already see Schönbrunn Palace. The Schönbrunn Palace park is situated behind the castle and offers many running routes and some demanding hills.
