Vintage in Vienna?

[davidraphael]

I may be visiting Vienna in the near future. Does anyone know if I can get a vintage fix there, ie, vintage clothes stores, etc...

One of my favorite cities!

I saw a couple of vintage stores not far from the Naschmarket last year but they were women's clothing only (except a few hats that were not in my size). I can probably dig up the locations if you are interested.

There are also all the great old cafes to go to like Sperl: http://www.cafesperl.at/

I am indeed interested! Thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to the trip!

Here is a link with several vintage stores. The ones I visited were Flo and VIV which are not far from the area by the Naschmarket where I normally stay. Both when I went had decent women's 1920-50 vintage and had some men's hats (toppers, bowlers etc.). Hope this helps!

On a related note about Vienna.

Can you image living there & having these chaps as your neighbours, (scarey)

In 1913, one section of Vienna played host to Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Tito, Sigmund Freud and Joseph Stalin
