Nice shopping center outside vienna. It has Primark, Peek & Cloppenburg, Intersport, etc. You can check all the stores here:http://www.g3-shopping.at/de/shops-gastro
The prices are cheaper than vienna center.
How to get here from Vienna: Using the metro, take the U6 (brown line) in direction to Floridsdorf Bf. When you get there, get out of the metro station, and on your left after the monument (some stones with water, check the pic) there will be the free bus every 15 minutes.
Nice shopping :)

The historic centre of Vienna is rich in beautiful architecture, including Baroque Castles and Gardens, as well as the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
You will get a good feel for the city in this location. Plenty of shopping and historic buildings as well as places to eat. No visit to Vienna is complete without coming here.

Just a few years after relocating their residence to Klosterneuburg, Margrave Leopold III and his wife, Agnes, founded the monastery near their castle as a religious, social and cultural center in 1114. They handed the monastery over to the Canons Regular of St. Augustine in 1133.
We were enroute from Salzburg to Vienna and stopped off at Klosterneuburg for a couple hours to visit the monastery & town. The Klosterneuburg Monastery is a twelfth-century Augustinian monastery of the Roman Catholic Church located in a hill overlooking the Danube river and town. The Monastery contains the Verduner Altar, made in 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun. Its three parts comprise 45 gilded copper plates modeled on Byzantine paragons. The complex also contains a museum with a collection of Gothic and Baroque sculpture and a gallery of paintings. The paintings found in the abbey church have been well preserved and are impressive. It has been remodeled in the Baroque style in the seventeenth century and was my favourite part of the Monastery complex. If you are travelling through the area, Stift Klosterneuburg is a scenic and historical spot to spend a couple of hours. It has a quaint, picturesque setting with monastery overlooking the town.

For centuries the Vienna Hofburg was the centre of the Habsburg empire. Today the palace houses three museums which afford historically authentic insights into the traditions and everyday life of the imperial court: The Imperial Apartments with their original furnishings and decoration, the Sisi Museum with its sensitive staging of the empress' life, and the Imperial Silver Collection which contains a comprehensive range of tableware and other utensils used at the imperial court.
A must not miss for those interested in the royal history of Austria. The connecting but very differently decorated rooms of the Emperor and his Empress Sisi are amazing to see. They are also arranged well for self guided tours. Near the city center for easy access. The outside architecture should be viewed too. Well worth visit!

Former residence of the Prince of Savoy consists of two palaces: one houses the Museum of Medieval Austrian Art and the Museum of Austrian Baroque; and a second contains the Austrian Gallery.
We visited the day after Schoenbrunn and have to say we enjoyed it more. It is much more relaxed without the crowds, has a great art collection and the only annoyance was trying to see Klimt’s ‘Kiss’ through a crowd of Chinese tourists that insisted on taking endless selfies right in front of it.
We had. A good morning here and can recommend it to art lovers.

Austria's most prominent national symbol, this magnificent Cathedral is known for its intricately tiled roof and its nearly 500-foot-tall South Tower, which provides amazing views of the entire city.
I cried.
This active Catholic church is nothing more than a tourist destination.
We came to visit at Easter and intended on coming for Easter Vigil or Easter morning mass.
If you are Catholic, if you are Christian, coming here will make you sad. Because it is about selling a ticket, selling a picture, selling your soul.
Casting lots.
Exactly what Jesus asked us NOT to do.

Experience one of the world's foremost museums! Let yourself be enchanted by works spanning five millennia, from Ancient Egypt to the modern era. Experience unique major works by Dürer, Raphael, Titian and Velázquez as well as the world's largest collection of Bruegel paintings, all in a magnificent setting. The Kunstkammer Vienna, featuring the famous Saliera by Benvenuto Cellini, is a veritable universe of art and beauty guaranteed to transform any visit into an unforgettable experience. Included in the ticket are the collections at the Neue Burg on the opposite side of Vienna's Ringstrasse. Here you will see the instruments used by the great composers and be transported back to chivalrous times when knights held sway and tourneys and hunting shaped courtly life.
This is one impressive museum, combining artifacts from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome (not to mention Babylonians, etc.) with European art and artifacts from Renaissance and beyond collected by the Hapsburg monarchy over the centuries into one massive collection contained in an beautiful building that itself is also worth close examination as an artwork in itself.
The galleries occupy the top three floors (although the uppermost is not nearly as extensive) with an entrance hall, shop, cloakroom, etc. below. The first gallery floor (labeled as the 0.5 level in the museum floor plan) contains ancient objects on one side of the building starting with the age of the Pharaohs in Egypt and proceeding through ancient Greece and then Rome touching on other cultures along the way and then Renaissance through early 20th century European objects collected by and/or made for the Hapsburg monarchs on the other side. The quality and quantity of the material presented is simply astounding, but items are generally just labeled simply in German, so you'll want to spring for the audio guide (available in English, etc.) so you can get a more detailed commentary on highlighted objects along the way. The second gallery floor (or 1 level) is devoted to paintings from the old masters - Rembrandt, Durer, Vermeer, Raphael, etc. - and is again a huge collection of just plain amazing works of art. The top floor (or 2 level) is much smaller with a coin and medal gallery and some art from Charles V's campaign in North Africa.
Don't forget while wandering through the galleries and connecting halls and staircases to look at the building itself - the murals by Gustav Klimt are particularly noteworthy, but the architecture and materials used overall to finish this palace of the arts are also unrivaled.
Even a quick walk through the galleries just looking at all of the objects and paintings on display and stopping for a closer study of the most well known pieces will take you three or four hours, but you could easily spend one or even two enjoyable days here. Everything is utterly fantastic!

The baroque world in the State Hall What comes to mind when you think of a library hall? Enter the State Hall of the Austrian National Library and your expectations are guaranteed to be exceeded. Feel the essence of history. The State Hall – built in the 18th century as part of the former Court Library – is a breathtaking 80 metres long and 20 metres high. An intricately decorated dome and numerous frescos provide an imperial flair. This baroque jewel is home to over 200,000 tomes. Four magnificent Venetian globes, each with a diameter of over one metre, provide the finishing touch to the heart of the Austrian National Library.
Even if you are not into Libraries do not miss this in Vienna. This is the most beautiful library room I've visited anywhere, including the Vatican. Everywhere you look is almost unbelievable to behold. The decor is just stunning. Take time as well to view some of the large globes from the 17th century. Just WOW!

The highlights of this natural history museum include a significant collection of dinosaur skeletons and meteorites in addition to a large display of insects from around the world.
The museum is absolutely outstanding. Most exhibits are also in English. The Mineral collection is impressive and extensive. We spent a half a day at the museum but could have stayed the entire day. Lots of options for children as well.
