Graben is the main shopping street in Vienna. The architecture of the buildings is absolutely awe-inspiring. The Graben is pedestrian only street with clothing stores, souvenir shops, jewelry stores and cafes.

Graben begins at Stock-im-Eisen-Platz and ends at the intersection of Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben. Except the remarkable buildings and architecture Graben features fountains and monuments. One of the most famous is the Plague column (Pestsäule).
