This is an elegant shopping mall right in the center of the city. It's a great place to buy…read moreclothes, toys, etc and also a great place to window shop.

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.

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!!!!

Wow! I must say I'm astonished at all the negative-to-ho-hum reviews on this shopping center. I…read moredon't know; is it maybe an innate cultural abhorrence of shopping centers in general? Sure, the clientele isn't always the creme de la creme. The bar looks kind of seedy from the outside (no idea from the inside). And yes, what I hate most of all, they do play really loud music often! But they have some great stores as well. There's the Schokotek, where you can find all kinds of colorful candy which pleases children and makes dentists rich. The variety there is wonderful and the service is very open and friendly. There's the nice little Okiru Sushi Bar in the Mausi Markt Passage, just before the elevators. I wouldn't make a special trip to go here, but it is just delightful when I've accomplished a bunch of errands and can treat myself to lunch here before running to the next appointment. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is reliably polite. Finally, there's an Aida in the Gürtel Brücke passage. Having cake and coffee right above the Gürtel is a unique experience! All this plus the usual array of stores you need to meet your needs all near each other under one roof with free parking (for an hour or two, check ahead as it changes) underneath. It's the busy person's dream! Yes, when I have time there are plenty of classier places I'll go shopping. But sometimes you just have to get a lot of jobs done at once and maybe reward yourself with sushi afterwards. For that, Herr Lugner's City fits the bill. ...and if you're lucky, you just might spot him walking by one day ;-)

Unfortunately I will just have to agree with all those people who write negative reviews about…read moreLugner City - there really are quite a few better shopping malls out there in Vienna. But since I live very close, I am "forced" to be a regular visitor.. The selection of shops is quite poor; it's certainly not the right place for buying clothes (except perhaps for such classics as H&M); HOWEVER, their gastronomy section is worth checking out. And with that I really mean CHECKING OUT and making the right choice carefully, because while there are a few really nice restaurants & bars (like Okiru Running Sushi & Santos), there are also some pretty disgusting fast-food places. All in all, avoid this place if there are any alternatives nearby, however, in case if you wanna have something cheap for lunch, it might be worth it to spend there some time.

Perfect for shoppers on the move and traveling to and from Vienna. The newly renovated train…read morestation has lots to choose from. 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.
