About
Naschmarkt is a market in Vienna, Austria, found along the Wienzeile in the 1060 district. It runs for about 1.5 kilometres, so it makes a long, easygoing walk rather than a quick stop.
What you will find
The stalls cover a wide range of goods. Visitors can browse fresh produce, exotic spices, antiques and local delicacies, and the mix of old and new shopping is part of the appeal. Many people come for the food, while others simply wander to see what is on offer.
Eating and browsing
The market is a good place to sample Austrian cuisine and get a sense of everyday life in the city. Stopping at a stall or a casual eatery lets you try local dishes at your own pace, and the atmosphere suits an unhurried visit.
- Walk the full length to take in the variety of stalls.
- Bring some time for sampling local food and drink.
- Look through the antique and spice stalls, which set it apart from a typical produce market.
Planning your visit
Because the market stretches so far, it works well as part of a broader day in the city centre. Set aside a relaxed half-day if you want to explore properly, and allow extra time to stop and eat along the way.
