Buchhandlung Walther König

great bookstore – absolutely love it since i was a student at uni wien. has the best collection of art books. i come whenever i am vienna. i've found the brand-new exhibition catalogue of henri rousseau, now at barnes philadelphia, coming to paris in spring – they even got bauhaus 😄 and plečnik. very friendly staff, an artistic touch ✨

Absolutely always one can find a treasure there, especially in the rack of discounted books!

A Must-Visit Bookstore for Design and Architecture Enthusiasts Right at the entrance, you’ll find a special discount section where some books are up to 70% off—perfect for those with extra space in their suitcase or anyone looking for professional books on design, architecture, or graphic arts. If you’re passionate about these fields, I highly recommend stopping by. The bookstore is conveniently located inside the MuseumsQuartier, making it an easy and worthwhile visit if you’re in the area. Most books are available in English and German, catering to a wide audience. If you’re looking for something specific, you can even pre-order online and simply pick it up in-store—an excellent option for those who prefer to secure their books in advance.

This is my favorite bookstore in Vienna. Amazing philosophy/theory section, with a huge art book selection, and book deals. Go see some great art, then pick up the latest on how to make sense of it.

Great book shop featuring a large selection of art books.
