The shops consists of men's and ladies clothing, sports, jewelry, books, flowers, bakeries, restaurants - food court, grocery stores, decorations and a few stores are even open on Sundays. The train station is well lighted, very clean, extremely new looking and even equipped with elevators and escalators. Although the train is very safe it is also well guarded with private security and local police officers. It has plenty of clean restrooms and is equipped with baby changes areas. As an added plus the Merkur has daily lunch means, which are very tasty and inexspensive.

Huge 4 (or is it 5) floor open plan shopping centre, mostly focusing on clothes and decor for the…read morefirst couple of floors and then one whole floor dedicated to Sports Experts and the top to Saturn. Good selection to be had and a nice place to browse about. Sports experts have an large selection of sporting apparel and equipment mainly (at this time of the year) winter sports and the prices are quite competitive. Saturn as well is well stocked with the latest and greatest of electronics but tend to be a little pricier than some of their rivals. Thats not to say that you cant pick up a bargain or two during their frequent sales. A nice shopping experience, sort of like a concentrated Mariahilferstrasse in one building.

This is Vienna's version of a department store, and it's huge. I've only purchased a pair of boots…read morehere (on the first floor/American second floor), and the people working in that department were quite helpful and friendly, although they didn't speak a lot of English. My fiancé looked for a dress shirt here (men's department, I forget which floor), and the lady was a bitch ("kind of" redacted). The whole floor was pretty much devoid of other people, but it took forever to get some help, then she let him try on only ONE shirt. She insisted that the others (in the same size) would all fit the exact same way; I believe the idea of sizes running differently for different brands, and wanting to see how colors/patterns look, was lost on her. Either way, we left immediately - the shirts were all overpriced anyway. Pretty much everything in this store is stupidly expensive, although their women's shoe department seems to be a bit of an exception (maybe I have a bias?). That department have a lot of sales, though, and since the ladies working there were nice, I have been back to that one department. I've given this place 3 stars instead of 2 because: --In the basement of Gerngross is Merkur, a higher-end grocery store in Vienna. It's owned by the same company that owns Billa (another Viennese grocery store), but it's more expensive than Billa. Merkur IS much bigger, and tends to carry items that Billa doesn't, so we'll go to Merkur when we can't find something at Billa. --On the fourth floor (American 5th) is an electronics store, Saturn. This is kind of the go-to electronics store, and the people there are generally pretty nice and helpful. We've bought a space heater, Nespresso machine (don't judge), humidifier, soda/CO2 machine,* oscillating fan, and various little items like CAT5 cables, etc, there. I like Saturn. They also sell prepaid and region-free cell phones, CDs and vinyl, computers and iPads, etc. Note!!! Saturn takes only cash and Bank-O-Mat/EC cards (Austrian/German debit cards) - they will NOT accept American debit/credit cards, so bring cash!!! We go to Gerngross for Merkur and Saturn more than anything else - the rest of the store (the department store/ "Macy's" part of it) is wayyy too expensive to bother with. *I'm obsessed with soda water. Don't judge.

I'm a fan of outdoor markets. The market has restaurants, food and snack vendors, antiques, and…read morefloral shops. Beware of the vendors who offer you cheese or other snacks because they'll lure you in to buy overpriced products. We ate a hot dog at one of the stands. Cool market that is easy to walk through. There is a public restroom where you have to pay 50 cents to 1 euro to use.

There are tables of jewelry, small tins and ceramics, tea cups made in Japan, Austria, and Germany, even old keys, just to start naming a fraction. Everything has the character of Europe over fifty years ago. The sellers are friendly and willing to haggle. Start from half of what they offer and work your way up.

The chocolate is still made by the same family that has owned the shop for generations. This chocolate shop has drawers of chocolates to sift through. This used to be a button shop for the royalty. The drawers were full of buttons that the royalty could pick from to be on their clothes. Now the drawers are filled with buttons of delicious chocolates. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. Besides, who could be sour in a chocolate shop. It was some of the best chocolate we have ever had. We are keeping the hot chocolate mix for our trip to Tahoe later this year. It will be a way we can relive our amazing trip. I wanted to say thank you to the staff for being so friendly and helpful in selecting our chocolate. I gave it one Euro sign, but you could easily get carried away in here. We spent over $40 of chocolate because we knew we weren't going to be back anytime soon.

Doch als ich den supermarkt verlassen wollte, zog mich jemand mit voller gewalt auf den arm. Ich dachte es war mein Freund, aber es war ein aggresiver mitarbeiter. Der Mitarbeiter hatte kurze braune Haare und ein Ohrring. Ich (12 Jahre alt) und mein Freund (11 Jahre alt) fragten ihn was passiert und antwortete nicht und zwang mich und mein Freund die Taschen aufzumachen. Wir sagten wir haben nichts genommen und öffneten unsere Taschen. Der Mittarbeiter fand nichts und sagte wir sollen weiter gehen, DOCH er stoppte mich wieder und kontrolierte meine Hosentaschen. Er schubste auch meine 10 jährige schwester weg als ich mich fangen wollte. Dann lies endlich er uns gehen und sagte kein entschuldigung und ging weg. WARUM NIMMT IHR AGRESSIVER IN EUREM GESCHÄFT?!
