Tourist Trap: Overpriced chocolates

  • Being a chocolate lover, chocolates are likely to attract my attention, so I noticed the ones sold at some souvenir shops.
    I am referring to the Mozartkugeln, originally a speciality of Salzburg that is now ubiquitous in Austria. They are delicious and are not a tourist trap. The trap is in the prices some souvenir shops put on them!

    At Least Do This: Whether you wish to buy them for yourself or as a gift for somebody at home, there is no reason to buy them in places where they are so overpriced.
    Vienna is full of shops selling Mozartkugeln among other sweets, for instance at United Chocolates, opposite to the Stephansdom.
    You can find them at various prices, according to the packaging.
    Alternative: You can even find them in supermarkets of the BILLA chain. You cannot miss them: they are everywhere, even in the city centre. For instance there is a BILLA supermarket in Singerstrasse, near the Stephansdom.
