The Museum Quarter, Opera and Naschmarkt

This is an area of huge contrasts, ranging from the stateliness of the Opera House to the opulence of the Opernring shops to the raucous modernity of Mariahilfer Strasse.   This long street is lined with cinemas and department stores, drawing shoppers not just from Vienna but from much of eastern Europe. 

The Museum Quarter - boasting numerous mueums and galleries.  Some museums and galleries found in the area are: 1) Academy of Fine Arts, 2) Secession Building, 3) Tobacco Musum, 4) Kaiserliches Hofmobiliemdepot, & 5) Haydn Museum.

The Naschmarkt is Vienna's liveliest market.  It has many well-established shops and some of the best snack bars in Vienna.  As you walk west it gradually become less formal, with flower vendors', wine producers' and farmers' stalls spilling out onto the street and offering meats, breads and on.  This area in turn leads into the flea market - a chaos of makeshift stalls. 

Mariahilfer Strasse - this is one of Vienna's busiest shopping streets.  On the corner of Stiftgasse is the Stiftkirche.  The architect is unknown, but the church dates from 1739.
