Introduction

The two souvenir shops – The Viennastore and Wienhandlung – sell kitsch and kitsch-free souvenirs based around Vienna – other than snow globes, Klimt and Mozart.

They consider themselves to be a somewhat different kind of souvenir shop. The Viennastore on Herrengassein the 1st district focuses on high-quality design. Primarily from Vienna, although selected design classics from elsewhere in Austria and the rest of the world can also be found. On the shelves are glasses by Lobmeyras well as the striped mokka cups of the melon service by Augarten Porzellan (to a design by Josef Hoffmann).

The pretty wine glasses of the label Das goldene Wiener Herz are also available, as are Lilien porcelain and Riess enamelware (including a Gugelhupf mold). Naber coffee, Piatnik playing cards, and a memory game with Viennese terms are also on sale. On the humorous side, there are also the shop's own products such as the three bread crumbing plates for Wiener Schnitzel (with labels for flour, egg and breadcrumbs) and postcards with vintage Vienna motifs.

As the shopkeepers also own a publishing company, the store in Vienna also has any number of books on Viennapublished by Metroverlag. The shop is also open on Sundays.
