The Graben is one of the most famous streets in the center of Vienna's Old Town, the 1st district. It starts from the Stock-im-Eisen-Platz / Stephansplatz (with the Stephansdom) at the beginning of the Kärntner Straße and leads to the northwest to the transverse axis Kohlmarkt-Tuchlauben. From the Graben, which was designed as a pedestrian area place-like, branch off narrow historic streets. It acts as a luxurious shopping and shopping street and, together with Kärntner Straße and Kohlmarkt, forms the "golden U" of Viennese commerce.
