We know what the grandparents say – give a child some pots and pans and a wooden spoon to play with and he’ll be happy.

Or what about building towers out of old cartons you just happen to be storing for such a special occasion?

As much as we love the classics, the reality is that modern kids sometimes have their hearts set on more – and it’s often the buzzing, beeping, blinking “more” that most tickles their fancy, if not yours.

Luckily, Vienna has a good range of toy stores that is bound to suit both of your tastes.
