„ 20th district: Millennium Mall
Department stores and boutiques are found on the
lower levels of a skyscraper alongside the Danube on
Handelskai.
„ 21st district: Shopping Center Nord
This mall has all the main stores selling clothes, shoes,
stationery, books, toys, houseware, sporting goods, and
pet supplies, and a sandwich shop.
„ 22nd district: Donauzentrum
This two-story, two-sectioned mall found across from the
U-1 Kagran stop houses the same selection of stores as
the Shopping Center Nord mall, and includes two grocery
stores besides.
„ Vösendorf-Süd, Shopping City Süd
This is Europe’s largest mall and the parking situation on
Saturday can be frightening. It is divided into sections; the
largest houses the same stores as a regular mall plus a food
court and the Swedish houseware megastore, Ikea. Other
sections include a multimedia complex filled with one of
the largest movie theaters, small restaurants and cafés, a
variety of electronic and houseware stores, and Toys ‘R’
Us. Interio, a funky houseware store, stands alone across
from the complex. Across the highway, but still considered
part of this mall, is Media Markt (electronics), Baumaxx
(hardware), and Kaindl (houseware and appliances).
„ McArthur Glen Outlet Mall
Parndorf (near the border with Hungary) on the A4
Autobahn. Replica of an American outdoor factory outlet
mall built alongside the highway—plenty of brand-name
stores with lower prices. Considering the size of the mall,
there is only a tiny food court and one café.
