When my tour group stopped here for whatever reason, I was wondering why we were wasting a couple of hours of our day shopping at an outlet. Initially I was like, F this, I'm just going to hang out in the bus or grab something to eat. After all, there are no shortage of generic outlet malls here in the states. But something dawned upon me .. why not zero in on brands that don't have an outlet presence in the US. So for a couple of hours I focused only on Euro-centric brands such as Aigner, Wellensteyn, etc. I was glad I made that choice as I was able to find some really good deals as a result. There's really no point in shopping for brands like Tommy Hilfiger here if you're an American visitor. But the prices you get for stuff like Aigner, Barbour etc are pretty good. In fact some of the prices were pretty awesome. We ended up with several bags of gifts and stuff for ourselves. Another note - the Burberry store (while common in the US) was really impressive. Huge and a big selection of items, though the sales we saw weren't nearly as good as the items they had at Aigner etc. Long story short, is it worth schlepping 45 minutes out of Vienna just to shop here? I would say no .. but if you do happen to find your way here and want to find good prices for European brands that you might not find easily in the US .. then I would say it's worth checking out a few stores to see if you get some decent items at good prices. read more

The Designer Outlet store Parndorf is located about 30 minutes south of vienna (reachable on the highway A4 to direction Budapest). Besides the architectural difference to shopping streets and malls inside vienna you can find here reduced prices for e.g. last years collection or products with minor defects. But those are sold (according to the shops at least) at 30% to 70% off the list prices. The stores are built to build a kind of cute village. For some stores this seems to be a marketing gag, for some others you can really achieve a great bargain. Its highly recommended to go there during the week, because on friday afternoons and all saturday its extremely crowded. Besides several fashion labels you can find shoes, sun glasses, sports and household stores. If youre lucky to have e.g. size 10 and above in shoes, you can buy MBT-Shoes there for unbelievable EUR 120,00 which cost in a regular MBT-Store 229,00. read more

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet - Shopping Centers Near Me - Parndorf, 1

Visit of this outlet was waste of my time. All collection are 3 - 4 years out of fashion. Prices are same or a little bit more expensive than in Vienna. If you want to buy a purse from Michael Kors - it is perfect place for you especially during sales but you have to expect looong line. This place is also good if you have teenager in your family. read more

I had a very negative experience at the Olymp store yesterday. I could hardly find anyone to help me, finally I got helped by someone who did not speak English, was not friendly and in the end asked me whether I had ever worn a shirt in my life because I did not know my measurements by heart. I stopped the shopping at this point. I don't recommend this store to anyone wishing to have a great shopping experience. read more

The worst outlet experience I ever seen in my life. Me and my girlfriends went to this outlet from Vienna by the shuttle bus that provided by the outlet. It cost 11 Euro for the round trip. You can't pay the ticket from Vienna but you have to go to their office at the outlet for the ticket. It took about 45 minutes to get there from Vienna. When we got there we went straight to the office to buy the tickets for the return trip and they said we can not buy the ticket without the receipts from the store so it means if we can not find anything we want we can not get back to Vienna. People that work in many stores around here are not that nice and rather to be rude. May be because they are so busy and they are too tired. Now it comes to the worst part of this shopping. We waited for the bus to get back to Vienna and there is no sign which bus is going so we waited where the bust droppred us off and there are so many people waiting also. Around a few minutes before 5 there was a bus pull over in front of the other bus that we were waiting . Now everyone run like crazy to that bus and everyone try to get into the bus. Everyone push each other and screaming and almost run on each other. This picture remind me like people try to escape from the fire. One old lady dropped her shopping bag on the floor before she step on th bus and people behind her didn't' care and tried to just push her down. My girlfriend had to blocked everyone and yelled and try to helped that lady get up. The driver for the bus didn't even care what was going on. i feel like a nightmare and never seen anything like this in my life. One reason that people did this because they afraid they won't be able to get back to Vienna and the next one is another an hour away. There were so many people left behind that bus. I never want to go back to this place again. read more
