Unlike the larger market, this is populated by local artisans. Soap, alcohol, wood crafts, metal crafts, and much more. Definitely worth a look. We parked near this smaller market, walked through to see check out their offerings and then returned after visiting the larger market to make purchases.

Cost was EUR50 for two people. The immersive environment consists of headset and two joysticks. The game was challenging and controls easy to use. Overall experience was great, but I wished that rooms were private instead of open concept and that's why I docked one star from this review . While waiting, you can play PlayStation games (for example street fighter) and have soft drinks from the cafe. It's best to make reservations, but we were walk-ins and we were able to secure reservation for 2 hours later even on a Saturday. Since this business is located in Jungbusch neighborhood, it was easy to find a restaurant to grab food while we waited. Overall, I recommend VR games either as a date idea or fun time with friends. Also great for groups, but in that case reservations are a must and approximately max ~6 people.
