The famous pedestrian street in Vienna, which leads from St. Stephen's Cathedral to the imperial residence. Graben got its name from the ancient Roman defensive ditch (translated from German graben means "ditch"), which was covered with earth in the 13th century. On the Graben there is the Plague Column, traditional for European cities, reminiscent of the plague that hit the city in the 16th century.

Today, there are all kinds of cafes, shops, open-air exhibitions of contemporary art. And during the Christmas fairs, the Graben is decorated with festive illuminations - an amazing sight!
