Vienna has a lot of
markets. Basically each neighborhood has its own. But none is more
visited and famous among tourists than the Nachmarkt. The location
and the prominence make the market the most multicultural, expensive
and perhaps overvalued. Maybe this is also the last place that a
Viennese will recommend. Yet because of it's beautiful and central
location it is still a nice sight to visit. Especially on Saturdays!
Every single Saturday the
Nachmarkt stretches out and overrated delicacies make way for
vintage, antiques and other unique, ancient objects. For those who
love old stuff, this Viennese flea market is a must.
You can find here old
books, traditional austrian garb, silverware, tableware. Probably
something you have been looking for and most definitely a lot of
stuff you don't need.
Getting there: take the
green subway line U4 and get off at Kettenbrückengasse station. The
market is in between the Rechte and Linke Wienzeile streets.
If you loose focus on the
goods, you'll notice how gourgeous the street of the market actually
is. And as I mentioned above, the location is very central and hence
many other sites are close. Karlskirche and the Opera are two
spectacular buildings you probably won't miss when you'll check out
the Naschmarkt. But if you're into art than don't forget to take a
look at Seccesion (contemporary art & Klimt) and Academie of Fine
Arts (Bosch).
