Right in Terminal 1, Senses of Austria leans hard into local gifts.
This shop sits airside in Terminal 1 and focuses almost entirely on Austrian products: Mozartkugeln, Manner wafers, regional chocolates, and small bottles of local spirits. Expect airport pricing, but not outrageous for Vienna; chocolate gift boxes often sit in the €8–€20 range, and spirits minis run a few euros each. If you need a last-minute souvenir with “Austria” printed on it, this is the predictable stop before boarding.
Senses of Austria keeps regular daytime hours in Terminal 1, roughly aligned with the morning wave of departures through late evening. Shelves skew heavily to edible gifts and packaged snacks, with some branded mugs, magnets, and textiles mixed in. You won’t find electronics or travel chargers here, so treat it as a souvenir and snack stop, not a general shop.
There’s a lot of packaging, less actual volume, so check sizes before grabbing that big red box of Mozartkugeln; a 300 g box can be better value than two smaller souvenir tins. Alcohol selection includes mini Schnapps and regional brandies suitable for carry-on under the 100 ml rule if you’re connecting. Staff are used to people racing a 20-minute boarding call and usually ring things up quickly.
Plan one pass: walk through Senses of Austria after security in Terminal 1, price the chocolates or Schnapps you want, then decide before you reach your gate so you don’t end up backtracking against the passenger flow.
