Graben Street

The Graben is one of the most famous streets in Vienna's first district, the city centre. It begins at Stock-im-Eisen-Platz next to the Palais Equitable and ends at the junction of Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben. Another street in the first district is called Tiefer Graben (deep ditch). It is crossed by Wipplinger Straße by means of the Hohe Brücke, a bridge about ten metres above street level. Tip: When visiting a cafe and sitting outdoors (especially the outdoor cafes in the Graben), it is wise not to leave bags or jackets unattended, especially if you chose a seat near the edge, where somebody can easily grab your stuff. Police officers can easily be found and are helpful and reliable.
