"Naschmarkt is a fancy Austrian place that nails the art of a power lunch. Water is served in goblets, there are wine bottles in neatly shelved rows on every wall, and the soundtrack, obviously, is smooth jazz. While a place like this could easily be corporate card fodder with no substance, the food is as hearty as it is delicious—especially the beef goulash that falls right apart and the pork schnitzel sandwich on a pillowy pretzel bun. But the sleeper hit is the fries, which have a touch of truffle oil and extra crispy edges. photo credit: Naschmarkt photo credit: Naschmarkt photo credit: Naschmarkt" - Julia Chen

"Street-food markets are all the rage the world over, and in Vienna you have the chance to visit one that’s been around for many centuries. Built literally over the channeled Vienna River, just beyond the Ringstrasse, the Naschmarkt is devoted to what its name happens to sound like in English: noshing. Whether you order a spicy wurst, browse the fish and cheese stalls, or purchase local products like pumpkin-seed oil and apple vinegar, the Naschmarkt is one of the city’s most enjoyable simple pleasures. In recent years, some gastronomic and ethnic food stalls have expanded into full restaurants. For decades, 400 dealers have set up their Saturday flea market next door, where shoppers hunt for bargains among books, record albums and CDs, and antiques."

An amazing outdoor market with some hidden gems. One side was mainly lined with restaurants and the main aisle was lined with an array of vendors/ stalls. You'll find lots of international vendors - Italian, Turkish, Mediterranean, Asian, Indian etc. We found the majority selling spices, Turkish delights, baklava etc. But, in between, you'll find souvenir shops, produce, meats/sausages, nuts, and teas. Saturdays are flea market days. So beyond the Naschmarkt, you'll find stalls of people selling used and antiques. Cash only! I had my eye on a few things, but did not purchase as the seller was asking a great deal for some used items and didn't budge. No thanks.

Beware of the vendor stalls in the Naschmarkt! My first visit to the Naschmarkt was in 1991. It was classically Viennese with well-mannered and respectful vendors selling Austrian goods. When I visited a few weeks ago for the first time in many years, I was assaulted by aggressive vendors. The market buildings retain their refined looks but the shopping experience has vastly changed. One vendor, in particular, overcharged me and refused to provide a receipt. He promised a refund, which has not arrived. My recommendation is look but do not buy.

We came here on accident, but glad we did. We walked one side from one end to the other, then walked back the other side before deciding on where to eat. Along the way, we bought some foods to try - like Falafel, it was delicious so give it a try and it's cheap! One of things that amazed me was the amount of Korean Ramens available at the market, didn't check the price out, but this one place had almost all of the ramens available in Korea in this one store. Usually all I saw in Europe was the bul dak brand ramens, but this place had lot of variety. Bring cash, as lot of the places do not accept credit cards, including the restaurants. The only draw back was that many of the retailers were similar in nature, selling identical items from one retailer to the other. Many of the retailers close early, so make sure you get here late afternoon to explore.

Naschmarkt was so... uninteresting? Beginning life as an al fresco produce market, Naschmarkt has evolved into a semi-covered open air farmer's market/food court/flea market featuring upwards of 100 stalls. I was hoping that it'd be delightful but this blocks-long enterprise was so lacking in energy and originality that it was really more of a snooze. A similar place in Montreal (Marche Jean-Talon) is vibrant and interesting but the secret sauce that makes it so has completely eluded Naschmarkt. Here, stall after stall sells fresh produce, nuts, dried fruits, cured meats, and spices with a ton of repetition. Some shops are interspersed in the mix as well as several restaurants and, at the tail end, a section of vendors selling non-food items, most the same as the vendor two stalls away. Any vibrancy Naschmarkt may have was not on display the day I visited. Before completing my walk-through I stopped for drinks in one of the places with outdoor seats, midway through. As I sat drinking I could see the space beginning to fill up a bit, with office workers joining up for a post-work drink, bringing the whole place a dab of desperately needed vibrancy. Billed as Vienna's most popular market a stop at Naschmarkt seems preordained for tourists. For the optimal experience I'd recommend you time your visit to whenever this place is at its busiest. Admittedly, I don't know when that is but if you come at an off time expect the energy here to be DOA.

Great place to visit to try fresh food, purchase ingredients, hand crated items and have a chill time with friends & family at the restaurants and pubs. Had a blast during our recent visit; spend an evening full of good food, drinks and conversations. Note - the stores close by around 1800hrs. But the eateries stay open till around 2200 or later.

Yelp Review 2023 #32: I was very excited to visit this market. I checked Yelp, Google, and some websites to find out when they open. All said 6am. It's about a 12-minute walk from my hotel so, I got to Naschmarkt at 6:12am and it was a ghost town. I kept walking around to find signs of life but nothing. It was cold, dark and foggy. The stalls seemed promising with a variety of interesting food, drinks, and ingredients that I would've wanted to buy. But no signs they were going to be closed or anything. I checked their business listing again, they were supposed to be open. BUT NOT! I gave up at 6:30am. I was hungry and also needed a bathroom.

Naschmarkt is an open air market in Vienna spanning several streets. They have several casual restaurants, delis, nuts, dried fruits, produce, Middle Eastern goods, souvenirs, clothing, cheeses, etc. I had stopped by during lunch time looking for a bite to eat, but found all the restaurants to be over priced here. I finally settled on a Viennese restaurant and had chicken schnitzel with potatoes (20 euros). It tasted just ok. I also ended up getting some nuts from another vendor, but found those to be pricey. The Turkish food stalls looked interesting and I settled on some falafel from one of the places. Unfortunately it was not crispy as it was sitting out for some time. Other vendors were selling sweets but flies were swarming all over his goods. Overall, I would pass on this place. It's a total tourist trap and you are better off spending your time and money else where. Nothing really stood out at this place.

Get here as early as you can for the best selection, 6 am. Start at the rear of the market and work your way up to the food. Go one stop beyond Karlsplatz to Kettenbrückengasse to be at the rear. (ie, ignore google maps, heresy!) Prices vary wildly. Bargain for sure. The prices I was quoted for two different things were so high, I didn't want to begin the bargaining process (I'm pretty unforgiving ) For example, the seller wanted 100€ for a pair of brass hooks with horse heads on them. One of them was damaged. I would have paid 25€ for the one in better condition. That would have been a difficult negotiation, and I just didn't feel like making the effort. In contrast, there was a table where all of the clothing was 1€ each. We went on Saturday. I don't know what it's like on weekdays. It looked closed on Sunday, except for a few restaurants. Go here!

Lots of variety of foods and stalls, I was overwhelmed in a good way! I tried this apple pastry for a few euros. Great value and it's also a great activity to do when traveling to Vienna.

This place is awesome. I should have taken more pics. It's an open market that sits in the middle of these streets and is generally locked off from car traffic. There are a ton of restaurants almost all of them have outside sitting. It ranges from Italian, to steaks, to Thai, all sorts of different foods. Made me want to eat at all of them. In addition to all these restaurants are all the booths selling mostly food. Lots of cheese, pickled food, Greek dessert, candy, etc. I had a piece of baklava from one of the booths and I couldn't believe it. It had to be some of the best baklava I've ever had. It was dripping with honey. At the tail end of it (or beginning depending on what direction you started) is a flea market. So you can peruse all sort of gewgaws.

Very disappointed that this has turned into a tourist trap. We visited 5 years ago and enjoyed strolling the market, but sadly now the stalls seem to be identical, selling the exact same dried fruit and nuts and Turkish food. There are at least 5 stalls with identical inventory, down to the display. There is nothing Viennese or local about the market! Worst of all, the sellers were quite aggressive and rude. I later read some reviews on google that many visitors have been scammed there, forced to overbuy (faked scale) or sold overpriced food that had gone bad. The remaining shops and stalls are mostly full of cheap souvenirs and mass produced clothing from China. If you must go, it may be OK for a glass of wine or beer at one of the mini restaurants. Food seemed overpriced/touristy, but haven't tried any myself.

Nice market! It was half opened in terms of shops when winter was here. Nonetheless, great scene and market to stroll through and yummy eats! I adore the selections of unfamiliar cheeses, food deli items, my newfound delight of white wine warm, hot dogs, beer and more!

It's the open air market in Vienna that should make it to your schedule when visiting this beautiful city. It's mostly covered with canopies from the shops and there is two or three rows of shops that have everything from food, spices, produce, meat, fish and lots of other things. There are many restaurants and food stalls here for you to pick and choose from. It's hugely popular with the locals and tourists alike and can get quite busy at times due to the narrow walkways. Grab a taste at the many stalls along the way, grab a glass of local wine and some food and spend the morning just looking around. I have been here many times and love it. It's a Gourmets paradise with lots on offer. Come early to avoid the crowd and get yourself a place to sit in the sun and enjoy a drink or some food.

Very popular market in Vienna, we googled the opening hours and it said that they closed at 9pm. This was not correct, we arrived at 7:30pm and except for the restaurants, all the stands were closed. So we couldn't experienced the typical crowded market with people buying but we could tell from the little we saw that it is a trendy place to grab a bite and walk around. Mercado muy popular de Viena, googleamos el horario y decía que cerraba a las 9pm. Esto no era correcto, llegamos 7:30pm y excepto los restaurantes, todos los stands estaban cerrados. No pudimos tener la típica experiencia del mercado lleno de gente y todos comprando pero por lo que vinimos me animo a decir que es un lugar cool para comer algo al paso y caminar por ahí.

My FAVORITE place in Vienna. What a glorious place. Restaurants, bars, grocers, snack shops, souvenier shops, clothing stores, spices, butchers, delis, fishmongers, cheesemongers and wine bars. GLORIOUS!!! I went here three times!

Natalie P.

Yelp

This might be the biggest public market I've been to! Or maybe it was because I went on a Saturday so maybe extra vendors were there. This place sells an array of produce, breads, drinks, and everything culinary. Ice you get past the food foods.. there are merchant vendors as well.. at least on a Saturday. Some items were worth browsing.. other vendors took me back to memories of being at a flea market. I got to buy some local Viennese chocolate and stopped for some Viennese wine along the way to keep warm. Go early! It gets crowded.. around 9 am was perfect !

My travel partner and I love exploring the local culture when we visit places and enjoy getting (somewhat of) an insiders perspective on what daily life is like in the locales we visit. Naturally we wanted to see the Naschmarkt to see what it was about. Although I can't speak for how the market once was, it seems to have blossomed into quite the cultural mélange and did not exclusively have items that were Austrian centric but were representative of the cultural pluralism that Austria has. Several cultures and nationalities were represented with the products offered and the proprietors who were there. I feel the market truly had something for everyone, from gourmet and prepared foods, fresh and natural juices and vegetarian/vegan products, food vendors and restaurants, kitschy wares and household items, as well as tourist souvenirs, shirts, and other clothing items. I found the market to be well organized, orderly, and clean. The market wasn't overly crowded (we visited on a Monday around lunch time), and people were out and about but it wasn't chaotic. I saw people perusing the booths and buying fresh produce (from all over the world) and enjoying lunch with friends and family. I enjoyed seeing the variety of produce, prepared foods, and specialty items in addition to the array of restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and take-away places. The restaurants there seemed to be of good quality and variety-Asian, Polish, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Italian, fish restaurants, etc. This is also a good place to get souvenirs if needed. I saw some interesting clothing items for sale as well. Bonus: this market is close proximity to the Vienna Westbahnhof train station and the shopping district. I dare to see how strong willed you are not to buy anything. in addition, there is nice architecture and people watching as well.

I walked here from the Wombats City Hostel and had such a pleasant surprise! This is a pretty famous spot with dozens of unique vendors. They have everything from food to souvenirs to used clothing. A lot of the food can be the same- olives, vegetables, baklava There are also plenty of choice butchers there Even if you're not in the mood to buy something, go for the experience!

One morning, I decided to check out Naschmarkt after visiting Schonbrunn Palace. It's definitely has a lot of interesting and eclectic stands. You'll see things from clothing to dried fruits to smoked sausages. I noticed a lot of Turkish sellers as well as some Russians. Everyone is trying very hard to sell you something. People will stand there trying to hand you bits of dried fruit or a piece of salami on a toothpick. At lunch, I took the u-bahn here and grabbed a quick doner kebab. The Turkish lady at a Doner Kebab stand understood some English and I once I got my food, I took it to one of the high tables and ate it standing next to a local. Like what many other reviewers said, this place is very touristy and gets very crowded.

Mel T.

Yelp

I was really excited for the Naschmarkt when I read that it was the largest outdoor market in Vienna. I guess I just assumed that this meant food stalls too but much to the dismay of my stomach, there weren't a whole lot of food options to choose from. Instead, all of the stalls are pretty much selling the same thing: spices, candy by the pound, olives, and some stalls selling cheese, meat, fresh fruit and veggies. There are also some restaurants but they looked like they might have been tourists traps. You'll also find overpriced souvenirs within the shops. While I didn't buy anything (except a gyro the size of my head), Naschmarkt is still a sight to see, with all of the colorful produce and spices - stop by if you have a chance!

Abigail F.

Yelp

The Naschmarkt is huge, so I have no doubt that there are wonderful foods to experience here. But the quality is extremely variable and I actively feel like I was scammed at one of the delis, a bad enough experience that I felt I needed to share it: I feel skeptical of the various Middle Eastern delis towards the middle/end of the Naschmarkt. First of all, I find it odd how they all offer exactly the same things--same Mohntaschen, same antipasti stuffed with cheese, same exact selection of dips, etc. etc. I ended up choosing one that had unusually nice presentation and I bought 1) a few slices of olive bread, 2) eggplant-tomato dip, 3) two dolmas, 3) a small selection of olives. The bill for a modest assortment (very little food) was 15 euros and the eggplant dip was *fizzy.* I informed the woman behind the counter as soon as I took a bite, and she told me it was made fresh that morning and there's no problem. Sometimes eggplant does that, she said. I found that odd--if a customer tells you your food is fizzy like a carbonated soda, you should take that seriously, at least taste it and decide whether it's fresh enough to serve. The rest of the things were OK, but not great; the dolmas had a weird musty flavor, the olives were also a bit odd, everything just tasted off. The olive bread, in all fairness, was very good. I felt a bit scammed. Other sit-down restaurants in the Naschmarkt are probably fantastic. Just don't risk it with the deli counters unless you have a specific recommendation for a place with exceptionally good quality.

Naschmarkt is a cornucopia of eclectic foods. One can find everything from fresh meat, fish, cheeses etc. There are two separate lines: one for purchasing items and one for sitting and eating in one of the eateries. It is a bit of a mob scene, even on a cold day like today. Most of the Market is outside thus dress accordingly. What stood out for me was the beautiful and bountiful displays of fruit and fresh flowers. This farmers market has something for everyone. Not only is it a market to purchase but a market to mingle, sip hot punsch and catch up with friends. The locals sit on barrels and nash on sandwiches, beer and other delectables. The Market is quite big and there are numerous eateries to choose from: Indian, Mexican, Italian, Turkish(love that baklava!) and of course Austrian. It's also located next to some history: the Succession Museum is adjacent, which is great to walk off all the food. The only drawback for me, astonishingly enough since I'm from NY, was it was too crowded to even begin to sit and eat or nash. However, it's definitely worth visiting. Think of it as a fast paced Zabars.

Jason L.

Yelp

This was a large market. Unfortunately I missed the Flea Market; so I cannot comment on that. This is not quite what I expected. I expected something along the lines of a typical farmers market and this is not like that. It is interesting. There are a variety of small restaurants of different cuisines. There are also many small vendors selling many things from fruits, nuts, meats, spices, etc. They even have many exotic fruits that if I had gone to the market earlier in my stay I would have tried. Many of the vendors offer samples of their products which may be good and or bad. Good in some ways because you'll try things you may have not purchased on your own. And perhaps in bad ways where you end up with a few pounds of things you can't consume in time before it goes bad.

Chantelle T.

Yelp

Oh my goodness this place is amazing! I literally stumbled across it after dropping my bags at my accommodation and going on the hunt for a restaurant to have some lunch. So it looked interesting and I decided to take a quick walk through. Instead, I weaved through each stall, sampling the goods on offer and instead deciding to collect a bunch of deli meats, cheeses, bread, dips, antipasto and fruits and had a picnic in the park. The way the product is displayed is so colourful and enticing I could have walked up and down all day. I quickly learnt not to make eye contact unless I actually want to purchase something, lest I be harassed to purchase goods by pushy stall owners. One the one end is the produce, on the other a number of restaurants, all with outdoor seating if you're not in the mood to do a picnic in the park. I'm a huge fan and cannot wait to keep coming back daily for the rest of my trip, there's so much food and not enough time to eat it all!

Dustin M. R.

Yelp

What an amazing market the Naschmarkt is! The sights and sounds and smells were a delight to the senses, with dozens of restaurants serving many different styles and types of foods. Other vendors specialized in spices, with a huge selection of herbs and spices on display, while the fresh vegetable stalls were equally impressive in their variety. Likewise the fish monger had a large assortment of fish available for purchase.

Sangay S.

This place is wonderful. Full of delicious food and snacks to try. I personally loved my kebab dürüm and glad to chose the one that all the locals seem to go to because it was amazing! This was very affordable and makes a great lunch.

Sam L.

I love this place. It's a combination open market, public market, farmer's market full of vendors selling fruits, vegetables, spices, cheese, desserts, meats, fish, wines, nuts and more accompanied by lots of small restaurants where you can relax and have a bite to eat or a full-blown meal spanning ranges of cuisines from pasta to sushi and more. You can visit with friends over a beer, coffee, tea or snacks in a relaxed casual environment that is dog-friendly. It's an easy walk from the center of Vienna.

Bob U.

Yelp

definitely worth a visit, even if it feels a bit touristy and overpriced a permanent outdoor market (closed on Sundays) with a huge variety of gourmet food, fresh vegetables, breads, olive oil, wines, cheeses, sweets, crafts, etc. etc. I didn't measure exactly, about .25 miles long but there are two main paths so you can spend quite a bit of time exploring there are seating areas too. we picked up some cheese, bread and a cold bottle of Prosecco and sat and enjoyed the sunshine and people-watching. a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Vienna!

Lisa M.

Yelp

Fun place to walk around. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and it was way to crowded. The walkways are tight so being so crowded it was impossible to walk without bumping into people. The restaurants are along the tight walkway. The food people were eating looked very good. We didn't attempt to find a place to sit and try something because every seat was taken and didn't want to wait. Then we walked around the vendors where you can buy all kinds of food. Some examples are fresh produce, fruits, olives, spices meats, ice cream, breads, cakes, oils, jellies, wines, nuts, candy and so much more. The market closes at 6pm daily and is closed on Sunday. If you like something look around because a lot of the vendors sell the same products at different prices. We bought some spices and cinnamon coated peanuts yum!

Melody W.

Yelp

Visited this swap meet market during my stay in Vienna. It was literally the first place I traversed through after getting off the plane. While I stayed nearby at the Holiday Inn, this market was a short 10 min walk from the metro station stop (Kettenbrückengasse). I was actually expecting more than what I had imagined. I'd say this place is a tourist trap and probably wouldn't make an effort to come here if I ever visit Vienna again. But it was a nice place to check out nonetheless for a first timer venturing through the city.

Lisa H.

Yelp

Oh my, how Naschmarkt has changed and not for the better. I'm all for progress, flow and not being stuck in the past, but this place has become just cheesey. I don't want to come often here as a local and I wouldn't want to waste time here as a tourist. Many of the formerly nice restaurants have turned into tourist traps. Lots of the market stands are nothing but tourist traps either. This place has lost its ethnic character, its heritage and its roots. There are a few oases like the traditional pickle seller and the good old palatschinkenkuchl. If you need fresh fruit and veg and you're in the vicinity it's still good for that. But if you want to experience real market character you're much better off going to Brunnenmarkt.

Brian L.

Yelp

This was a fun spot to try lots of tastes in Vienna. When we arrived, we heard a jazz trio playing a familiar tune. I almost thought we were in New Orleans. Lots of food options: We had a pirogi and schwarma. Lots of places to shop: From clothes to spices to various oils. One hint: There is a Billa (think Trader Joe's) next door. Get a liter water bottle there for .75 Euro rather than 2,90 Euro for a .5 liter at the NaschMarkt. Great place to people watch as well.

Matt B.

Yelp

I was really impressed with Naschmarkt. I came on a Saturday morning in April, there seemed to be a never ending line of stalls selling fresh produce, dried fruit, breads, cheese etc each competing for business and in some cases willing to give free samples. As it was Saturday morning it was really crowded but there are also a range of small restaurants where you can sit down and watch the crowds shuffle down.

Datt N.

Yelp

Pretty cool market to walk through. The reason for the average 3 star rating is the aggressive venders. They first try to get you to come to their booth/store. When you tell them you're okay, they start yelling at you. Totally ruins the experience.

Eric J.

Yelp

One of the cooler open markets in Vienna, for some reason, only open on weekends. There are a variety of different foods and products here, and while there are a lot of touristy restaurants, you can find a lot of cool stuff to shop for and eat. It's definitely a melting pot of different cuisines, from Middle Eastern to Asian, to Traditional Austrian, which is pretty cool. The quality isn't mind-blowing, but it's still a good place to try a lot of different things at once. The prices are pretty expensive for what you get, but I guess it's a little bit more about the experience, and there are a lot of free samples here and there that you can readily take advantage of. It's probably possible to do a walkthrough and make a meal out of the free falafel samples that they give out, heh. Seems like the best time to come would likely be around lunch time. The people behind the counters can be a little loud at times, but nothing too overwhelming. Definitely worth a look if you're a tourist in Vienna over the weekend. It doesn't take too long to walk through, and they have just about anything you might be craving. I feel like it would make a killing on weekdays as well, but what do I know? In all, I wouldn't say it's a must-visit, but they do have decent offerings and it's a good place for some variety.

Hertha Maria T.

Yelp

This is one of the oldest and most traditional markets in Vienna. There are lots of restaurants, traditional food huts and fish stands. You can almost buy anythng from the other side of the world. Traditional herb and spice stands, mas well as an exquisite Italian pottery hut gives a quite good insight. The whole market is a bit pricy, but the quality is high. A pitty is that you can hardly get any Austrian traditional foods anymore. But you can also find different types of meat, vegetables, fruits and fishes. Hats off!

Yasmin D.

Yelp

It is worth to visit this market and check the variations of dried fruits, nuts and olives. The colorful food looks good. Be aware of the annoying sellers in the way they try to sell their goods. They keep nagging and if you decide to buy 100g, they will put 500g and try convincing you that this is better then reduce it to 300 and so on.

Frank R. K.

Yelp

If you want to see real old Vienna shopping you have to come here. The Naschmarkt is old Vienna. One tip, do not agree to any prices but offer HALF or LESS!! Then negotiate form there. You have to watch, they see Tourists coming and just make up their prices accordingly. Also you will get the best prices if you pay cash of course.

Rory R.

Yelp

What a great place to potter about on Saturday. All you could want in a market. Excellent place to stock up for the weekend. Look out for surprises cause here they abound. (Check out the fruit- that's all I'm saying.) Curries, fresh fish, meats and sausages, Greek sweets, fruit and veg and the added bonus of a massive flea market makes this a fun place to visit and a must see for everyone in Vienna on a Saturday.

Brad B.

Yelp

All in all this place is a tourist trap. There is nothing authentic or Viennese about it. It's a bunch of Non Austrians selling overpriced crap to tourists. If you haven't seen many outdoor markets it might be worth a stroll through on a nice day....its decent people watching if nothing else. If you are a seasoned traveler and have seen lots of markets before you will not see anything new here. If you do stop by just beware of the pushy/rude vendors...especially the Turks.

Vanessa S.

Yelp

I feel like this is like any flea market around the world with cheap chachkes (trinkets), many spice vendors, baked good vendors, and random restaurants. It's a fun stroll to just see it but nothing really amazing otherwise you can skip it.

Eric F.

Yelp

Oh yes... this is what I'm talking about when I travel. In the center of the city, surrounded by great architecture and a number of museums, this log rectangular square has long been the home of a farmer's market where local vendors sell their produce, and food stands abound for snacks and drinks. Today this outdoor market is a haven for international foods as well as local fare. Grab a Gyros. Get some Bulgarian whole pickled cabbage heads. Buy fresh herbs from around the world. It is an amazing place... and worth a few hours if only to catch the buzz and have a bite of excellent street food.

Nick S.

Yelp

Excellent. Eateries. Dired fruits. Fresh fruits including exotic offerings from Asia. Seafood. Greek dessert. Turkish food and falafel. Lots on offer. Souvenir stands as well. Chocolate stores with lots and lots of varietals. Sausages. Meats. We enjoyed it a lot. The art museum is next to it but closed Monday. The market is very near the main shopping drag.

Eric W.

Yelp

I have to agree with Heather L M., some of the prices here were insane (I uploaded a picture of a 50-euro shrimp, and a few more of my favorite market sightings as well). That being said we had a great time in the market. It was actually an impromptu tour conducted by the chef de cuisine on our river cruise. This worked out very well, as he had arranged for us to sample a number of things as we strolled the market.This was the best possible way to experience the market. Had we not filled up on samples, we most certainly would have eaten there too (a Vietnamese restaurant caught our eye). Definitely worth a visit if in Vienna.

David B.

Yelp

Ah the Nachemarkt. It is such a wonderful place to look around and have a feast of anything exotic, both for your eyes and your stomach! For having the best Cordon Bleu Anthony Bourdain style, you have to go to the Herr Urbanek Stall first to get your cold cuts and cheese, then you hand them to Frau Gruber at No.66. Don't forget to wash down the hot, succulent and creamy goodness with a glass of local Viennese beer and some fresh potato salad. There are also many other international eateries if you are ever tired of having schnitzels and sausages. We had a decent meal at TokoRi, an Asian international restaurant serves Thai Chinese and Japanese cuisine. We also had a meal at the Pho place but it was not that good and the waitresses who worked there were the most annoying bunch gossiping about their customers sitting right in front of them thinking they don't understand their language. Overall, we had a wonderful time at the market, just be careful when handing your money to the grocers because I noticed that they like to either over charge or give the tourists the second grade products. Close on Sundays!!!

We spent a lot of time at the Naschmarkt on our trip because our apartment was just around the corner. It's one of the nicest permanent markets I've visited - there's something for just about everyone here: *Restaurants - there are dozens! You can grab a quick and cheap doner sandwich, sit down for some sushi, enjoy a drink at one of the many bars, hit up a tiny and traditional Gasthaus or have a higher-end steak dinner. *Feel like cooking? Naschmarkt has you covered, albeit at more expensive prices than Spar or Billa. The produce is beautifully displayed, there's fresh fish, butchers, cheese mongers and even a stand selling pickles and sauerkraut from the barrel. *Flohmarkt on Saturday morning is awesome! There's tons of junk to pick through as well as nicer stuff. We saw a 10' high crystal chandelier, antique musical instruments, tons of knick-knacks and a literal ton of used clothing. Bargaining is allowed and encouraged - I grabbed a present for my mom and my husband scored a sweet beer stein. Things I could do without: *There are dozens of Middle Eastern delis selling the exact same stuff - hummus, spices, dried fruit, etc. I would have loved to see more "traditional" options. *Because all of these stalls sell the same stuff, they can be a little aggressive in trying to get you to stop at their stand. Yelling "hey lady with the big boobs" probably isn't going to get me to buy falafel from you, buddy. Anyway, yes - the Naschmarkt can be crowded, more than a little expensive and somewhat touristy. It's still a fun place to visit and score some tasty snacks.

This is a colorful, lively, bustling outdoor produce market with some covered sections. The 'Belly of Vienna' is closed on Sunday. There are basically two parallel streets with eateries, produce markets, spice stalls, and vinegar markets. There is a stall selling sauerkraut which is stored in gigantic barrels. Quite a sight. On Saturdays, there is a flea market near the Kettenbruckengasse U-bahn station.

Hello! Hallo! From Seattle, WA, USA Vienna was one of the places we stayed at for about a week. My study abroad group and I stayed right up the hill from the Market (Kolping Wein) Hence, we came and walked down every day until we left. Every single time, there was "friendly" yelling towards us, extra trying to get our attention - it was somewhat uncomfortable, only because it was different and they knew we were foreign, in particular from the US - I'm sure our accents gave it away.. & lots of "We love Obama!" Moving on, WOW this market has quite the length on it. It was somewhat overwhelming.. several stands sold the same foods/items, fried fruit, assorted nuts, fruits, veggies, deli options, chicken, meat, sandwiches, etc. So, I can't tell you which stand is the "best". Not only food/snack/dessert stands, there are jewelry, clothing, etc. shop stands as well. Lots of samples workers were trying to handout - to dried fruit, nuts, falafel, etc. - Prominent Mediterranean/Asian/Middle Eastern foods at this market. I fell in love with the Chicken Kabob gyro.. I wish I could remember what the place was called... it was quite tasty! I had to grab one for lunch before moving on to Bratislava! But if you come across a Kabob gyro/pita stand - stop and get one! *and on the weekends same place, and across the street... there's a huge swap meet!

Lots of variety of foods and stalls, I was overwhelmed in a good way! I tried this apple pastry for a few euros. Great value and it's also a great activity to do when traveling to Vienna.
