Fodor's Expert Review Naschmarkt
The area between Linke and Rechte Wienzeile is home to the Naschmarkt, Vienna's largest and most famous outdoor produce market. It's certainly one of Europe's great open-air markets, where packed rows of polished and stacked fruits and vegetables compete for visual appeal against stacks fragrant spices, redolent of Asia or the Middle East. Come for the atmosphere and the exotic prices, but note that the prices for meats, fruits, vegetables and cheeses here tend to be higher than other places in the city. Wine stores and gourmet food shops round out the offerings. In winter, many stalls shorten their hours. On Saturday, a lively flea market takes place at the tail end of the market. Be sure you get the correct change and watch the scales when your goods are weighed.
