Herrengasse in the first district has recently become the most enchanting and interesting shopping street in the inner city. If you are in town for only a couple of hours, you can't miss this lovely array of small boutiques and culinary delights. Linking central Michaelerplatz and Freyung (on the way to Cafe Central) you should take your time to discover all the nice little shops and places on the way.
Thanks to the conversion of this street into a car-reduced area, little bars, and shops like Thum Schinkenbar strive. Famous for its superb ham, Viennese manufacturer Thum has opened a flagship store that boasts simple and hearty street food in the typical Viennese style. Try a "Schinkensemmel" (ham on a roll) with Kren (horseradish) and you are in for a real local treat. Wash it down with a tasty local brew Ottakringer and you are powered up to continue your exploration of the city.
