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! read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

Naschmarkt - Public Markets Near Me - Vienna, 9

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Naschmarkt - Ever see such a huge barrel of sauerkraut?!! - Public Markets Near Me - Vienna, 9

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

A treat for your eyes and pretty much all your senses! The market has colorful fresh veggies, fruit, and all kinds of delicious food. You can easily get lost for hours just walking through the market and taking it all in. Photographers can get some great shots here. read more

The options are endless and amazing, but the cost of items borders on insane. I assume only tourists and the wealthy of Wien shop here. Watch out for those olive ladies. After perusing the shops and eating some type of Middle Eastern wrap (which was quite good), we decided to grab a small container of green olives for the road. The woman put roughly one dozen olives in the container and told us it was 8.90 Euro. That translates into $12 American dollars. We stood there with our mouths open, completely stunned. I'm assuming we got the dumb Americans' price. We told her we wanted 2 Euro worth of olives. They mumbled and grumbled and gave us a few and we were on our way. Unfortunately half of the olives were mushy and inedible. After this burn, we chose not to go back to the Naschmarkt again. I'm sure there are other vendors worth visiting but with other options around the city, it wasn't worth the effort or expense. read more

This is THE market for Vienna. But I have nooooo idea why it is rated one of the top markets. It's a pretty dingy, not well priced market for locals. But coming from Canada and being used to some of the best farmers markets.... this place is pretty meh. It's awesome to come here as a tourist once or twice. After that, I just kind of feel sad for the locals that this is what they call a successful market.... read more

We LOVED the Naschmarkt!! Apparently, it dates back several centuries; the literal translations is actually "the ash market" referring to milk bottles that were made of ash, and delivered to this location during the 16th century. In any event, the place is a fantasyland for foodies today! Blocks and blocks of specialty stores that made me wish I REALLY knew how to cook. Whatever it is you fancy, you'll find at least two or three concessions that have just what you want. We were just passing through for a day, and not in a position to stock up, so we didn't look that closely at the prices. But do foodies really pay attention to the price? If they have it, and you need it, you buy it! And for Pete's sake - you're in Vienna. Vacation money isn't really money, is it? read more

Absolutely love this market. It's an outdoor market that stretches for several blocks. You can easily find the best produce and really anything you want in this market. The venders are pretty friendly and they give out a good amount of samples. This market just reminds of a giant farmers market in the states. Oh, the lamb chops here are exceptional. read more

I love outdoor markets when I go to new cities, because it's one of the best ways to be a part of the local culture. You can walk around and sit down to eat at one of the many bars and little restaurants, or you can grab a snack as you go. There are really great cheese shops with tons of cheeses to choose from, or meat/salami places, or fresh meat/fish stands if you're planning to cook. read more

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! read more

This place is perfect for picking up souvenirs and fun keepsakes from your trip to Vienna. It has lots of restaurants and food stands to buy snacks or sit down and have a meal. Outdoor market, so you can bring your pets. Gets a little crowded, but not uncomfortably so. read more

If you enjoy walking around markets, don't miss this place. It is an amazing market full of color, aromas, tastes... Naschmarkt is a treat for the senses. You discover a variety of fruit, vegetables, meat as well as flowers, soap, honey, fresh cheese, antipasti, oriental delights, spices etc. A foodie's dream ! Between shopping, eating and walking in the neighborhood, I spent here several enjoyable hours. read more

This market is overrun by tourists, and the vendors know that so you might need to haggle. I enjoyed the local food producer stalls the most considering you can taste the delicious cheese, sausage, and breads of the market. This was also the least touristy and probably where locals go for farm to table goods. They have the ready to eat section which is dominated by touristy restaurants and what I assume to be bad Asian food and decent middle eastern spots. They also sell gifts such as honey, and fresh flowers. They also have ample spice, tea and candy-nuts for sale. Things I remembered: - Delicious chili dried sausage - Mohn which some kind of pastry filled with gooey marzipan or jams - breakfast sandwiches with cheese or han on kaiser rolls - sesame ring bread - cream doughnut Things are inexpensive. Bring cash. read more

Awesome long stretch of farmer's market as well as restaurants. One of the best open air markets-- a fun place to spend a Saturday lunch.

Make it a plan to come to Naschmarkt on Saturday morning if you can. It will be a sensory overload! Only on Saturday is there the flea market. I saw items from old chinaware, glassware, vinyl records, instruments, cameras, clothing, shoes, etc etc etc. I could have spent hours just looking at somebody's "trash" (aka somebody else's treasure). Past the flea market comes the food market (open every morning except Sunday). From there, one could eat foods of most ethnicities, buy fresh meat/fish/veg/fruits, drink fresh juices, discover some culinary charms (I read about vinegar-like perfume stall?), and more. The walkway in the market is narrow, so be prepared to walk slow and leisurely enjoy the food selection. read more

We visited the market a few times and enjoyed it each time! I fell in love with Turkish delight, Leo's pickles, a lady who sells vinegars and salad dressings and of course the amazing charcuterie from the two brothers that were featured in Bourdain's visit to Vienna. Can't wait to go back! Oh! Check out the honey truck that visits from time to time. I bought honey flavored gummy bears and propolis drops that really helped a cold, I got when I arrived home. read more

Just eat here your entire time in Vienna if you're a tourist. They have a massive selection of all types of good food and it's reasonable. We did go to Kim Kocht, which was the most expensive place but wow was it worth it. The steak there is amazing. Small portions. but the staff was super friendly and it was worth it to sit there and people watch. The seafood restaurants also looked amazing. Saw a couple guys that had two open lobsters, with wine. If only we had known this ahead of time but we visited here on our last day. read more

Nothing is more painful than going to a market and not being able to load up on all of your amazing finds. The choices will overwhelm you: dozens of butchers, fish mongers, cooked food, plenty of stalls selling any spice / spice blend you can imagine, exotic produce, wine, tea, nuts, etc. This place is huge and great for picture taking (as long as you can get over feeling like a tourist for taking pics of fish). It reminded me of a narrow outdoor Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona. read more

Lovely market place with a lot of vendors and restaurants! The vendors are very pushy with their products.. They won't really take no for an answer. The other thing I noticed was the strangely large number of stands selling the same thing!! All dried fruit and nuts and Greek food. We bought some dried fruit (supposedly sugar free) and it was really really delicious. read more

Naschmarkt is my favorite part of Wien by far! It is a combo of farmers market, restaurants, and merchants that stretches serval blocks long. Many of the places offer free samples. Lots of places offer wine, cheese, meats, etc. I had some great Mediterranean deli pieces. Its great how you can walk around with a beer. I throughly enjoyed the local cold cuts as well. read more

No one really needs me to rate this market. Two steps in and you know you're where you want to be. There is an incredible cheese shop in the market called Käsehütte. There are many places to buy cheese there, and having not bought cheese from any of the others, I feel entirely qualified and comfortable telling you that this one is the best. Besides, the internet said so, so who can argue? There is a man selling pickles--buy at least one and eat it while you walk. SO DELICIOUS. There is another stand selling homemade wine for 2-5 euro, depending on the bottle. I can confirm that it will not make you blind and it's actually pretty delicious. Tons of cafes, beautiful location...definitely gets crowded but it's a fair mix of locals and tourists. Just take some time to poke around and there's no way you can't love it. read more

Naschmarkt was OK. It wasn't busy when I went - must have been an odd time. But this made me a target of people really trying to sell me stuff. I saw a lot of middle eastern stands and dried foods by the pound but didn't really feel relaxed and comfortable to look at stuff. It wasn't quite what I expected. Maybe I went at a bad time or maybe a strange day... maybe I didn't go down far enough. I'm not sure. If you are nearby stop by tho! Maybe later in the day - I went in the morning. read more

To walk through, yes, go here. It's a cool sight and you can often get some interesting samples from the non-restaurants. To eat here, no! Anyone who has said otherwise has cheap, bad taste. The place has almost exclusively tourist customers, and I think that fact speaks volumes. The food in each of the restaurants is not good, over-priced, and served with attitude. If you insist on eating here, at least eat at Dr. Falafel. That's the only non-rip-off in the place. Good, cheap falafel if you order right. read more

Great place to browse for souvenirs and lunch!! The produce looked great!! You can get delicious cheeses, meats and seafood!! read more

Is a must see market when in town. A stroll down the lane finds many photo opportunities as there a vibrant colours everywhere! Fruits, nuts, spices, meats and clothing. There is something for everyone. There are food stalls to enjoy your favourite wrap! We had the spicy falafel wrap and it was the best we had. The vendors will offer samples of most of their items, so you can try a piece of falafel and the hummus of your choice and see if you like it. If you do, get the full on wrap! There are also plenty of sit down restaurants along the walk too, so if you want to sit and relax for a bit, no worries. read more

Naschmarkt - Falafel wrap with spicy hummus. - Public Markets Near Me - Vienna, 9

I am a big fan of the Naschmarkt, because it is a finely tuned mix of raw ingredients-style market (y'know, eggs and produce and raw fish and things) and then prepared foods (baklava, and "Russian-style" dumplings and schwarma). You see what I'm getting at here, right? It is a SWEET DEAL. I was really impressed by the range of Middle Eastern (for lack of a better term?) products. Sweet plump (love that word) dried fruit, and afore-referenced pistachio-studded baklava. Lots of nuts and seeds, both au natural and fancy-flavoured like wasabi almonds. Turkish boreks, filled with spinach or meat (get meat). Several organic stalls for vinegars and assorted Austrian specialties should you want to highlight those during your visit. Other reviews cover the other details: yes it can get overrun with tourists. Yes, watch your bag. Yes, you can get taken for a ride a little (I was sold a horrible mealy apple - the worst! - and overcharged on grapes until I called it out). But when that's set against such diversity and deliciousness? A small price to pay. Yelp note: London-life has made me accustomed to Sunday markets. Take note: Naschmarkt _not_ open on Sundays! read more

Quite disappointed by this place. I thought I could get a feel of a morning market in Vienna but it feels more like I'm in turkey instead.

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. read more
