She thought, "If I could find a drugstore similar to CVS, it would be easy for me to identify the…read moreproducts I need without looking like a tourist." Thanks for Google search I found DM - drogerie markt which was a few minutes away from my hotel; yet, out of sight. Similar to your local drug store, in my case CVS, DM sells cosmetics, healthcare items, household products, and healthy/convenient foods. Their layout looks more like an clutter-free, upscale bodega (corner store) than the layout of a pharmacy or CVS. However, the signage is quite similar (including the red letters in the company's name.) Almost every products' package is in German but, the items are recognizable. As for bagging items, they use paper instead of plastic. Chic!

During our visit to Vienna, I stopped into the beautiful Apotheke zum Heiligen Geist, one of the…read moreoldest pharmacies in Austria, with an incredible history dating back to 1551. I was looking for a good firming face cream, and the pharmacist was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to explain the different Austrian skincare products, recommended an excellent face cream for my skin, and generously gave me several samples for both my face and body to try. The customer service was exceptional--friendly, knowledgeable, and never pushy. Learning about the pharmacy's rich history made the experience even more special. If you're visiting Vienna and appreciate quality skincare with outstanding personal service, I highly recommend stopping by. It was one of my favorite shopping experiences in the city!

When all the other pharmacies seemed to be closed, this one was open! I've never quite been to a…read morepharmacy like this one. It's hands down, the fanciest pharmacy I've ever been to. It had rich wooden counter tops, brass and bronze fixtures, and a level of care and service like I've never experienced from most pharmacies! They had everything in Austrian, and the clerk wasn't the best with English, but we got the messages across with international sign language. Fortunately, chemical names of drugs apply internationally, and we got everything figured out. One of the other customers stepped in and helped when there was a bit of misunderstanding, but it all worked out! They had everything that we needed. The prices were nowhere near what you find at the local CVS or Walgreens. Parking is challenging, with only parking on the street.

They also offer the lowest prices I can find so far on gluten-free products including pasta, pizza shells, bread, and snacks. They are much cheaper than Reformhaus or Billa which carry the exact same brand (Schaer) and are located conveniently all over the city. I frequently shop at the ones in the 3. District on Landstrasse, and can also vouch for the ones at Reumannplatz or on Mariahilferstrasse. Not every dm offers food products though, so maybe call ahead in your neighborhood.

I'm not an addict, I can stop anytime, I swear... If you're visiting from the US, these items should be on your shopping list: *Labello lip balm - WAY better than Chapstick. There's one place in CHI that stocks these, and I have to pay $6-7/ea vs EUR $2 *Kneipp bath salts - $20+ per jar at home, EUR$6 or less here! *Nivea cream in the blue tins. Not the same as the stuff for sale in the US! There's only one place in the States that imports the European formula and it's more than double the price. I'm sure if you live here and have access to this stuff all of the time, this is probably a 3-star place. But I saved a ton of money on some of my favorite things, so 4 stars from me!
