The store manager of the concept store QWSTION about spelt hearts and sandy beaches in Vienna. Read on to explore Alexandra's Vienna.

What do you like about the area? Why are you in the 7th district?

I’m not sure if it’s about the cool, little shops, the good food or the kind people but the 7th is definitely the district in Vienna that I feel most comfortable in. It inspires me on a daily basis and I enjoy to work and live here!

What can one buy in your store? What is your passion behind it?

QWSTION invites is the name as well as the concept of our store. We invited other brands that share our passion for quality, timeless design and responsible production to create an inspiring space for all kinds of modern everyday products.

What makes the store so unique is that it combines our bags, design objects, fashion and interiors in such a harmonious way that you immediately feel at home. The integrated Wolfgang Coffee gives the store an additional special atmosphere and invites you to comfortably drink a coffee!

Only in Vienna

"Weißer Spritzer" white wine with soda.

Better somewhere else

Le Labo.

Sweet Vienna

At Naturkost St.Josef they have a vegan speltheart filled with raspberry jam and dipped in dark chocolate – that is REALLY delicious! I think it is made by Waldherr bakery.

Hearty Vienna

The tavern „zur Stadt Krems“ is definitely our favourite when our colleagues from Switzerland are in Vienna and crave for a Schnitzel.

When it gets dark

It depends a little bit on the outside temperature but we like it best to sit in front of the store and enjoy a cold beer or have a cocktail at our neighbours’ bar Parfümerie.

Not in any tourist guide

I love the possibility to easily leave town on a bike and thus explore e.g. beautiful sandy beaches at the Danube near Klosterneuburg.

Your favorite place

The old Danube in Summer.

Must-see

Courtyards – my favourite is the one of Hotel am Brillantengrund.

You can skip, although in the guide

I wouldn’t totally skip the first district but you can keep a visit there short and instead enjoy all the other peaceful corners of Vienna!

What do you love about the city?

The cosiness.
