Altmann & Kühne
This charming small shop has a touch of the old world about it, partly due to the handmade packaging of its chocolates and sweets, designed by Wiener Werkstätte in 1928. Altmann & Kühne have been producing handmade bonbons for more than 100 years using a well-kept secret recipe.

St Jean Délices
For the sweetest souvenirs, this enticing spot sells all eight varieties of Lyon's specialty sweets made by traditional local confectioners including les coussins de Lyon (Curacao-flavoured dark chocolate in sugary almond paste) and les pralines rouges (almonds in red vanilla-flavoured caramelised coating, which is a fixture of local desserts and patisseries), as well as handmade chocolates.

Oberlaa
Some locals swear that Oberlaa sells the best confectionery in Vienna (in the face of some stiff competition). That’s a tough one, but it no doubt offers the most beautifully packaged chocolates, and no other local macaroon measures up to its ‘LaaKronen’ – brightly coloured in flavours like pistachio, lemon and strawberry, available singly or in gorgeous boxed sets. There are seven other branches around town.

Temmerman
Glass jars filled with sweets line up behind the counter of this old-fashioned sweet shop, which has been in its current location since 1904, and is run by the eighth generation of this family of confectioners. All of its sweets are made by the family’s factory, including typically Belgian neuzekes (hard, triangular cherry-red ‘noses’ filled with soft jelly) and mokke (aniseed biscuits).

Opern Confiserie
An old-fashioned confectionery store in the midst of buzzing Kärntner Strasse, with a dizzying array of handmade truffles, many-shaped marzipan, and brightly coloured fruit gelées. Look out for Austrian-made Bachhalm handmade chocolate bars, with chunky ingredients – from standards like pistachio to more-challenging taste concepts such as rose petal and shitake mushroom.
