  2. B

    Dorotheum

    Although you may never dream of dropping into Sotheby’s for a quick browse, when in Vienna it seems perfectly natural to inspect what’s on offer at the Dorotheum. Among the largest auction houses in Europe, this is the apex of Vienna’s Altwaren (old wares)–consumer culture, the Flohmarkt’s wealthy uncle. Something between a museum and the fanciest car-boot sale you ever saw, the rooms are filled with everything from antique toys and tableware to autographs, antique guns and Old Masters paintings.
