Naschmarkt

Naschmarkt Review

The area between Linke and Rechte Wienzeile has for 80 years been home to the Naschmarkt, Vienna's main outdoor produce market, certainly one of Europe's—if not the world's—great open-air markets, where packed rows of polished and stacked fruits and vegetables compete for visual appeal with braces of fresh pheasant in season; the nostrils, meanwhile, are accosted by spice fragrances redolent of Asia or the Middle East. It's open Monday to Saturday 7 am-6:30 pm (many stalls open an hour later and close two hours earlier in winter months). Be sure you get the correct change and watch the scales when your goods are weighed.
