Stroll Kohlmarkt, the elegant pedestrian street in Vienna's Innere Stadt. Pass luxury boutiques and old specialty shops, and enjoy the festive lights if you arrive during the Christmas season.

📖

Full description

Kohlmarkt is a short pedestrian thoroughfare in the Innere Stadt, lined with luxury boutiques, designer brands and long-established specialty shops. Its name goes back to a time when it was a market for firewood and later charcoal, a trade that has long since moved on.

Reviewers describe it as elegant and distinctly Viennese, pleasant for window browsing even without buying, and especially lively with festive lights at Christmas. Half an hour is enough for a walk along it, and it leads naturally toward the Hofburg end of the old town.

Reviews

A beautiful street for a walk, especially if you enjoy luxury shopping or just window browsing. It feels elegant and very “Vienna.” Even if you’re not buying anything, it’s worth visiting just for the atmosphere and architecture.
