    Here you will find everything that has a name, or at least is expensive (Gucci, Dior, Tiffany, Chanel and Co).

    It's best to look for a seat and watch the ladies of the world go shopping, there aren't much better shows for free!

      Kohlmarkt is one of the oldest and poshest streets in Vienna, running from Michaelerplatz to Graben. It was originally a charcoal selling point, hence the name. Today it is a luxury mile that houses many jewelers and international fashion labels. You can find everything from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Prada, Gucci and more here. Also, there are some famous buildings and shops that you can visit, such as:

      The Looshaus, an architectural masterpiece by Adolf Loos, built in 1911 and considered one of Vienna's first modern buildings. It was very controversial at the time because it had no facade decoration and contrasted sharply with the opposite Michaelertrakt of the Hofburg. Today it houses a bank and a café.

      The Hofkonditorei Demel, a traditional confectionery that was founded in 1786 and was once k.u.k. Court confectioner was. Here you can enjoy or buy delicious tarts, cakes, strudel, chocolate and other sweets. You can also take a look into the glass bakery and watch the confectioners at work.

      The Artaria House, a 19th-century former warehouse that is now a commercial building. The publishing house Artaria & Co., which published many famous composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert, was formerly located here. On the first floor there is a plaque commemorating Frédéric Chopin, who lived here in 1830 and composed his E minor Piano Sonata.

      The Great Michaelerhaus, an 18th-century Baroque palace designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. It was formerly the seat of the Hofkammer President and later the Minister of Finance. Some famous people also lived here, such as Joseph Haydn, Pietro Metastasio and Marianna Martines. Today it is a hotel.

        The Kohlmarkt is one of the most popular and elegant promenades in Vienna, attracting many visitors and locals. It is a pedestrian zone that runs from Michaelerplatz to Graben and is lined with magnificent buildings and exclusive shops. Here you can enjoy the atmosphere of the imperial city and let yourself be seduced by the shop windows of jewellers, fashion houses and delicatessens. You can also admire some historical sights, such as the Looshaus, the Artaria-Haus, the Große Michaelerhaus and the Hofkonditorei Demel. The Kohlmarkt is also an ideal starting point for a stroll through the old town, where you can discover other attractions such as St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace, the Spanish Riding School and the Museum Quarter.

        I also found some websites that can tell you more about the Kohlmarkt. For example, on Tripadvisor you can read the reviews of other travelers who have visited the Kohlmarkt. They describe it as a "very nice promenade", "Vienna's exclusive promenade" and "promenade". You can also read an article about the Kohlmarkt on Wien.info, which introduces you to its history and highlights. You can also see a city map at Wien.gv.at that shows you the Kohlmarkt and its surroundings.
