Worldwide Shopping Maps

[V/A]

Geezor;

Musuems and art galleries are pretty easy to navigate (for the main ones at least), MusuemsQuartier is within easy reach of most subway stations and is very compact now, so you can easily spend a half day to a day wandering around here. Best bets are the MUMOK and Kunsthalle Wien (next door to each other). Didn't check out the Leopold Museum but it's also said to be excellent. There's a number of places to eat around here as well; Halle Cafe, Cafe Restaurant MILO and MQ Daily all great stops for a break any time of day or night. Across the road towards the Imperial Palace are the heavy hitters, Kunsthistorisches Museum and Naturhistorisches Museum - Kunsthistorisches will easily eat through an afternoon; a simply stunning collection and building. If you're into architecure, worth checking out the Secession Building across town too. Top of my list though would be the MAK. Great exhibitions and a thoroughly pleasant space, great dining as well at Österreicher im MAK. Shopping wise I'd suggest PARK is a great place to start, but didn't spend a lot of time on the retail front so will leave this to someone else. Feel free to PM me for more info, spent a thoroughly researched 4 days there in January and loved it.

V/A , thanks for the answer but it came a bit late. I already went there , finally only for few hours , and my general impression was good. In the future i would like to see Vienna better though because i didn't really have the time for that.

New additions in London

Hey all,

I wanted to invite you all to participate in creating SZ oriented shopping maps. This would be cool for traveling. I started doing a New York one. We have people around the world here, and it would be great if could chip in and create something cool.

Here are instructions from Google on how to customize maps.

The only thing I am not sure about is how to add destinations by more than one author. The way we could get around it is by placing suggestions in this thread and then incorporating them by the original author.

North America

NEW YORK CITY

CITY OF ANGELS

SAN FRANCISCO

Europe

AMSTERDAM

ANTWERP

BERLIN

BRUSSELS

COPENHAGEN

LONDON

JAPAN (OUTER)

There's a new huge store called LNCC in London, which has Damir Doma, Levi's Red Archive, Raf Simons and some emerging designers as well as books and music. Though it's a shame they're appointment only at the moment. Also TOPSHOP started having selections from Marios, Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Reality Studio etc. Also there's a small shop in Notting Hill called The Convenience Store, which is worth a visit. They've got archive pieces from Jurgi Persoons!

Shanghai shopping map

How do I add some locations?

I am currently living in Shanghai and shopping for good stuff here is not terribly easy to navigate unless you want Louis Vuitton or something. The retail landscape is changing fast, so thought I would give an expat local's insight. I sort of understand the kind of stuff people are looking for, so I can probably give some good suggestions.

Superfun city, you'll have a great time for sure. But there's nothing interesting clothingwise, unless you're looking to find the smallest bikinitop ever.

I'd say the most interesting local brand is Osklen, but save your money for other stuff.

I'm going to Florence for a few days, and then Padova/Venice. Any suggestions? :)
