Vienna's Markets
Naschmarkt
The long esplanade covering the course of the Wien river already served as market place for dairy products as early as the 18th century. Naschmarkt, located between Kettenbrückengasse and Karlsplatz, is a premier open-air fruit and vegetable market that should be on everyone's itinerary. Naschmarkt is an ethnic melting pot full of vibrant life and exotic scents. With endless rows of stalls selling fruit, vegetables, seafood, spices, homemade pasta, pickles of all kinds, cheeses, breads this superb market can satisfy the most demanding culinary requirements. Interspersed are small bistros, as diverse and multi-cultural as the stalls and the market itself. From Asian to trendy, like Vienna’s hippest places to be Deli and do-an.
Naschmarkt is open Monday to Friday from 6am to 6.30pm and Saturday from 6am to 5pm. Mornings are the best time to absorb the markets sights and flavors. The majority of the bars, bistros etc. is open until 10pm, some even later.
Flea Market at Naschmarkt
Do you know why flea markets are called flea markets? In the past the market's ragtag goods were more than likely to be infested with fleas that changed “owner” with the purchased clothes and wigs. Today this is something you no longer have to worry about when sauntering through Austria’s most famous and largest flea market at Naschmarkt. A visit this Flea Market is a very enjoyable and entertaining experience: browsing, rummaging, discovering, bargaining and buying fuse into a fun experience. The market’s special atmosphere is not least owed to its splendid setting against the Jugenstil houses of Wienzeile. 400 vendors sell their goods here on Saturdays and bank holidays (except 25 December) from 6.30am to 6pm.
Brunnenmarkt
As said before, Naschmarkt is a must for every visitor to Vienna. If you wish to explore the city off the tourist paths then Brunnenmarkt in Wien-Ottakring is a great place to experience multicultural Vienna. Brunnenmarkt, located between Thaliastrasse and Ottakringer Strasse, is best described as an oriental bazaar. A great number of vendors sell all varieties of goods to Vienna’s immigrant community – particularly its large Turkish population. The market dates back to 1786 when Emperor Joseph II. had consented to a marketplace around the fountain (“Brunnen”). In 1880 the fountain had to make way for a horse-drawn train, the market and the name remained though. Brunnenmarkt is one of Vienna’s last street markets which means that all stalls are taken down in the evening and put up again the next morning. A good time to visit is late in the afternoon when the vendors want to get rid of their goods. If you are hungry then you will find plenty of snack stands and inns selling all kinds of ethnic food.
The market is open Friday 6am to 7.30pm and Saturday 6am to 5pm; the bistros are open Monday to Saturday from 6am to 10pm.
Viktor-Adler-Markt
An especially authentic market in Wien Favoriten is the 125-year old Viktor-Adler-Markt offering a great variety of culinary delights including fruits and vegetables, selected wines, first-class oils, all kinds of delis as well as local, Turkish, Greek and Indian specialties. Rows upon rows of stalls create veritable lanes and alleyways, and if you take the time then there are plenty of things to see, explore and discover here. In the summer this market is a pleasant place to stroll around as the stalls are protected from the sun by parasols and awnings.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 6am to 7.30pm, Saturday 6am to 5pm and every fist Saturday per month from 6am to 6pm; inns and bistros are open Monday to Saturday 6am to 10pm.
