The street has a rich history dating back to Roman times, and it has long been a hub for trade and social life.

Wonderful street in the center.

Nice place with a lot of shops and restaurants around. Picturesque.

Shopping Street. Beautiful buildings lined up the street.

It's fun to walk in this wide pedestrian-only street, imagining it as a moat in Roman times. Enjoy a detour into Dorotheergasse leading to Buffet Trzesniewski and Cafe Hawelka. In the middle of the Graben is the impressive plague column, which looks like clouds of whipped cream and cherubim topped by gold. In 1679, a third of the population of Vienna was lost to the plague, and Emperor Leopold prayed for his city. You can see Leopold and a cross in the column, and a figure of a naked woman, the plague, being cast away. Close to this monument is St. Peter's Church, an absolute gem.

The street really comes alive during the summer and winters months, due to all the attractions its presents. The street also has fountains and some of the priciest apartments in Vienna.
