L.A has Rodeo Drive, Paris the Champs Elyse, Vienna has Kartnerstrasse. The shopping street located in the center of the city.

Here are some sights along this famous street to see.

The latest addition to open is .. & Other Stories.

THE ELEGANT STRASSE

Kartnerstrasse is a pedestrian friendly street located near the

beautiful Graben in the city center. It is very easy to get to via the subway and walking along the street you will see many famous landmarks, the magnificent Stephansdom Cathedral , the stunning Opera house, Sacher hotel and more.

The street is a magnet for tourists to stroll along. There are plenty of places to sit and wonderful restaurants to take a break.

From a traditional Konditeri to international ones.

Street performers can be heard playing songs along it and

there is always a crowd . You will see people in period costumes outside the Opera house or near the cathedral, selling tickets to

performances.

Sundays are the best time to really enjoy the street, the architect and the ambience. Winter is the most spectacular that is when

it is lite up with lights and those beautiful chandeliers.

My most favourite place to see .

The famous Glass shops

A new Konditeri to try.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement .

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.
