One word keeps popping into my head when describing the Donauzentrum: LARGE!…read more It just keeps going on and on and on. A take a right and you are over the road and into a huge food court/movie complex. A little further on though a narrow walkway and it opens up onto another huge area of shops. Wow! For a "city centre" shopping mall this is pretty impressive. So far the easiest shopping centre to get to (no free buses required here) just a few stops away from Stephansplatz and directly outside Kagran station. All the main stores and chains are here as well, including the aforementioned Cinema and food hall. Such interesting food options include SUBWAY, a crêpe stand and Wok Ice! Very varied options. Well lit and bright and clean this has got to be my favourite shopping centre as yet in Vienna.

They adapted a little bit. There are more sitting possibilities, but still not enough…read more The washroom area right at the netrance, on the upper floor to the right at the escalator is nicely, if not in a luxury way, developped. There are leather-like chairs and a couch and there is also a built-in aquarium with nice fish for waiting children to see - great idea. No crazy guards annoying customers, super! But the shopping center suffers a bit, because of the U1-station Kagran right at the opposite street and the people that hang around there. People, women with small children, children alone and handicapped have to enter the doorways whilst drunkards, all kinds of weirdos are almost preventing them from entering the underground station, some even ask, almost force you to give them some money - THAT keeps customers from coming and buying! Besides THAT is a very very bad reputation for the city of Vienna!!! The shopping center is still great, but be careful on the way to go there!!! The guards should not be in the center, but at the U1-station!!!!

Wien Mitte - The Mall is the biggest and newest mall right in the center of Vienna and can be…read moreeasily reached by trains from all directions, especially from the airport and by undergrounds U3 and U4. It opened to the public on Thursday, April 25th, 2013. The most stupid thing you can do with a new mall is not to show any direct links to the shops and restaurants on the homepage of the mall. The homepage of the mall has a very ugly design and does not give the information people are looking for when they want to get to know more about the location - no common sense at all!!! The design is very impressive, the technical security is at first sight ok. The shop mix is very good, the elevators work and there are enough. There are also enough staircases and escalators. The position and amount of securities is good. Although thier knowledge about what to find where is poor. There are some information points which is good and compensates for that. But you ask the securities first when you are new to the center and don't know where the info points are. The big plus is that all major transportation companies have information shops there. CAT - train to the airport has the biggest office at the Mall. Wiener Linien - is responsible for all Viennese undergrunds, trams and busses. OEBB - the main Austrian train company. There are also enough ticket machines and monitors. The big minus is that there are already lots of malls in and around Vienna. There are not really new shops and people have not much more money to spend. Tourists of course will drop in coming from the airport, as it is one of the major stops of the airport train, but they would not spend much money there as they want to do some sightseeing first before spending money for shopping. AND - because of the amount of people you will have problems at the train and underground stations on the long run. The restaurants are great, but this also means that all other shops and restaurants around will lose business, economically not very well-planned.

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.

Entering the shopping centre from the ground floor leaves you felling this is quite an old centre,…read moredark and gloomy but once you ride the incredibly slow escalators up to the second floor the centre opens up to reveal an open light spacious area. From the second floor there is a large bridge leading to the banks of the Danube. Could be one of the nicest sights from a shopping centre anywhere. The centre itself is quite small and rambling over 5 floors in 3 separate buildings. There is a large UCI cinema here and a Holmes place gym and Monkey play centre for the kids on the fifth floor reached by one of the quickest elevators I've ever been in. There are plenty of eateries here including a Subway and TGI Fridays and various shops of the slightly cheaper variety. Also a largish Saturn too. My tip is that if you live near to the centre then its worth going to pay a visit but there are nicer shopping centres a little further outside of the centre of town.
