Stroll Graben, a lively pedestrian street in Vienna's old city. Browse the shops, admire the ornate facades and soak up the buzz, especially when the festive lights are on.

📖

Full description

Graben is a broad pedestrian street in the old city, built along the line of a former Roman-era ditch and now lined with ornate historic buildings and shops. It is a place for strolling, shopping and eating, and it stays lively throughout the day and into the evening.

Visitors describe it as especially joyful at holiday time when the lights are up. It is open at all hours and free to walk through, and around 20 minutes is enough for a stroll, longer if you shop.

Reviewers advise against the horse-drawn carriage rides.
