Naschmarkt: Vienna’s Inner City Market
Fresh fruit and vegetables are often sold during the weekends when local farmers come to the city.
The Naschmarkt is known as Vienna’s most popular and largest inner city market, stretching over 1.5 kilometers long.
This historical market was first established during the 16th century as a location where milk was bottled and sold.
From 1793 onwards, all fruits and vegetables brought to Vienna with carts had to be sold here, while goods arriving on the Danube were sold elsewhere.
A variety of cheeses displayed at a food stall.
In 1905, the area became officially known as “Naschmarkt” (Nasch means munchies).
Today, the market is a common place for not only locals but tourists from around the world. Fresh fruits & vegetables, fish, meat, game, cases of wine, nuts, exotic spices, baked goods, and cheeses are just a few of the items sold here.
There are also several restaurants and eateries serving a variety of ethnic foods.
On Saturday’s, The Naschmarkt is the site of a large flea market where just about everything is sold from antiques to best bargains.
The Naschmarkt is open from Monday to Saturday 7 am-6:30 pm(many stalls open an hour later and close two hours earlier in winter months).
