Always busy, the shopping center has a host of designer boutiques, an entire floor of cosmetics and the perfect bars and restaurants to be seen by Vienna's beautiful people. Boss, DKNY, Ralph Lauren and a multitude of others have branches in Steffl. For the more intellectually-minded, the fourth floor has an Amadeus bookshop and a cyber cafe. Chocoholics are catered for as well with an astonishing selection of skilfully-crafted confections, some inspired by Mozart. In the evenings, the fashionable use the outside glass lift to zip up to the top of the tower for a stunning view of the city at the Skybar.
