The most incredible classic shop for formal men's wear, located across the street from the…read moreAlbertina, in the beautiful historic part of Vienna. They sell many of the formal looks for the Viennese balls, so you can imagine the detail and quality of the work. The prices are reasonable, too, considering their quality and history. Remember that if you don't live in the EU, you can get the VAT sales tax refund. I love their different varieties of "smokings" (tuxedos). Turnaround time for tailoring is fast but try to come early if you are only in town a few days. Love this shop.

Kenny and I stumbled across this men's store on our way back to the hotel. It is in a great…read morelocation across the museum and close to all the tourist attractions. Kenny went in specifically for a tuxedo but walked out with a frack look which was an exceptional tailcoat with many intricate layers inside. It was really nice seeing what the best type of evening wear for a man was out there. I learned so much about buttons, fabric, the time of day wear, and how many fingers a vest had to be past the jacket! I was expecting a crazy amount of pay but I was so pleasantly surprised by how amazing Allen was so we definitely got our purchase and ready for pick up indoor days with our tailoring. If you need something special then you need to be here!

My friend and I visited this location of Wilhelm Frick, a bookstore in Innere Stadt, when were were…read morevisiting Vienna for a few days at the beginning of the month. The store is pretty large - two stories - with a surprisingly large English language section upstairs. The service was friendly, and we both quickly found some books to read over the week we were in Austria. I also appreciated that that they had seating where you could read a few pages of a book to decide whether to buy! Overall, a nice bookstore in the heart of Vienna.

Steffl department store is a luxurious store with seven floors of clothing and accessories from…read morevarious very high end brands. If you are a fashionista, this is definitely a place to check out. Even if you can't afford it (most of us can't), the window shopping is worth it. Steffl is very conveniently located on a busy shopping street leading up to St. Stephan's cathedral at Stephanplatz. The street is otherwise full of quite generic high street brands which you can find anywhere else in the world, so in my opinion this department store was the only outstanding stop worth stopping at during the day at the city center (if one has limited time for Vienna, like I did). The store is not as large as e.g. London ´s Harrods, but it still has a decent sample of the best brands out there. I especially enjoyed the variety in eveningwear and lingerie departments. I like that the staff is polite and professional and doesn't act snobbish towards you even if you are an obvious student with a backpack checking out a thousands euros Elie Saab or Marchesa gown. The seventh floor also has a lovely view of the cathedral, so after you're done fashion admiring, it´s worth checking out.

I came into Steffel because I knew they sold the brand of watch that I own. My watch needs a new…read morebattery, and I went to the desk displayed/sold watches. I asked the saleswoman in that section if she could change a my battery, and she said, "No. You have to go to a Jeweler for that." O.K., that's acceptable. What wasn't acceptable was when I asked her where the nearest jeweler was located... how do I get to one? I told her I am not from here (although I have lived here for about a year, but I didn't tell her that) and she looked at me, very serious, and proceeded to ask me, "Do you have a cell phone? Get on the internet and type in 'nearest jeweler'..." She was still talking, but I had begun to walk away at that point. THIS is by far the rudest, of rude interactions with customer service that I've ever had. Even on a bad day, this is NEVER an acceptable way to talk to a customer.

Micheal: Der Schneider, der nie enttäuscht!…read more Ich bin nun schon seit geraumer Zeit ein treuer Kunde von Micheals Schneiderei, und diese Bewertung ist längst überfällig. Jedes Mal, wenn ich eine Maßanfertigung benötige, ist Micheal(/Elias) die einzige Person, der ich meine Kleidung anvertraue. Seine konstant hervorragende handwerkliche Leistung und sein hervorragender Kundenservice haben meine unerschütterliche Loyalität verdient. Schon beim Betreten von diesem Geschäft wird man mit einem warmen Lächeln und einem freundlichen Auftreten begrüßt, so dass man sich sofort wie zu Hause fühlt. Was mich wirklich erstaunt, ist die Geschwindigkeit, mit der Micheal seine Arbeit erledigt. Es ist unglaublich, wie schnell er Ihre Kleidung fertigstellen kann, ohne jemals Abstriche bei der Qualität zu machen. Ich habe noch nie einen Schneider getroffen, der so effizient arbeitet und trotzdem so hohe Standards einhält.
