The Naschmarkt is Vienna's most famous market and a popular meeting place for locals and tourists. With over 120 stalls and restaurants, it offers a wide selection of fresh food, exotic spices and international specialties. Here you can not only buy food, but also enjoy culinary delicacies in cozy restaurants. The Naschmarkt is a place that perfectly reflects the flair and cultural diversity of Vienna.
The Naschmarkt is the largest and probably the most famous market in Vienna. It begins in the city center at the Getreidemarkt (Secession) and extends west to the Kettenbrückengasse subway station. The market is outdoors, with the approx. 120 market stalls, restaurants and bars offer fresh food and specialties from all over the world. Most of the products come from Austria, former Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, East Asia, Japan and China. The atmosphere is somewhat reminiscent of an oriental bazaar.
At the stalls you can find fruit, vegetables, spices, fish, meat, cheese, pastries and more.
The market hasn't been cheap for a long time, probably because it is so popular with tourists. Many a visitor has been ripped off here, so be careful of the prices and weights. 100g often seem cheap, but when you calculate the price per kilo, you'll be in for a surprise...
Some restaurants have now established themselves as well-visited meeting places. But these are not cheap either. Accordingly, the area around the market is becoming increasingly popular with restaurant owners.
The flea market is located outside of town, directly next to the Naschmarkt. Every Saturday there is a sale of antiques, clothing, artwork, household items, used books, signs and records. Since the stall tenants are private individuals, you can also find a lot of junk and sometimes even scrap. However, you can also find bargains at the flea market with high-quality second-hand goods or antique furniture.
