The area
Address
Neighborhood: Margareten
This former working class district blends hip eateries and avant-garde cinema with a time travel into 1950s Vienna. Feel the district’s pulse at Margaretenhof and Schlossquadrat. 19th-century Margaretenhof is a local icon, yet has very non-Viennese architecture with its brick structure and cast-iron verandas. The nearby urban Renaissance castle of Schlossquadrat houses several restaurants. In the summer you can sit in its romantic shady courtyard over Schnitzel and Kracherl (traditional fizzy syrup). Siebenbrunnenplatz and its surrounding shops and grocery stores have remained virtually unchanged in the past 60 years: taking a walk there is like stepping into a 1950s film set. Speaking of movies, head to avant-garde cinema Filmcasino in the evening. It often stages foreign language cult films.

    It's a simple local market ,not something special. The prices are higher than the center of the city in the most products.If you need cheese and other products from around the world (exotic fruits, chaloumi,tzatziki,etc) it's worth a visit.

    Nice to see but avoid Weineck Winothek, they rob tourist
    Nice market to see. Nothing in comparison to the markets in Spain or Italy but still interesting to wander. We did not eat here but we did stop off in a wine bar. Just a forewarning, avoid a wine bar called Weineck Winothek. They sold us a bottle of wine and then screwed us with a €10 cheeseboard which they said originally was included. We had asked twice before we agreed if the cheeseboard was included and they said yes. Then when the bill came they had the cheeseboard and also c=a charge for bread. We did confront them on this but they said it was mis translation. Their actions was deliberate and I am sure they do this regularly to tourists. Horrible experience and left a very sour taste. Very bad reflection on Vienna.

    Over Commercialized
    We were eager to visit the market when we booked to visit Vienna, but the experience did not reflect the hype. The market is a tourist trap with overpriced food and drink, and no soul. The market is busy, bustling, with lots of bright colourful foods and items to buy, lots of restaurants and bars to choose from, but seems to be trading on reputation mainly. I would not recommend this market for vegetarian / vegan diners as we looked long and hard and did not find much which was suitable.

If you’re idea of a good time is to rummage around a load of old house clearance items which tend to be stupidly overpriced, then come to this “ flea market” , or more accurately described as a car boot sale.
The food market was just a number of stalls , all offering the same produce every 5 mins.
Portobello road, this is not.

The permanent stalls were half closed and those that were open were just a repeat of each other.
An alpaca socks salesman had done a good job, as virtually every shop was selling them, expensive too.
A lot of tat shops.
Maybe because of the weather, light snow, there were very few bric-a-brac stalls even though it was a Saturday.
Did find somewhere to have hot chocolate and glühwein but could have done that anywhere.
Didn’t see anything worth a photo.

Still worth a visit, Naschmarkt is no longer what it used to be, a real market. Instead, some ugly souvenir shops and dried fruit stalls are sprouting... you ask yourself, who needs this stuff or... ist this a Paravent for some shady business? Whatever it is, there are still some nice stalls, like the the Viennese sarma kraut and gherkins guy’s stall, some falafel and kebab ones etc. Eating on Naschmarkt is a must - there are also plenty of restaurants.

My friends and I walked the length of the market. We were fascinated by the colors and aroma and diverse products. BUT, as my companion was filming her travel vlog, a merchant started yelling at me because I was taking pictures of all the items displayed. He said "you buy something?", I said "no just looking"...he then yelled at me to leave so he could help people who wanted to purchase. Because my companions and I were the only ones in front of that stall, that statement was curious. Because it was captured on film, it became apparent to us that it was racially motivated. Since my companions and I are in the travel industry and have been to many countries, we know all too well that there are prejudices no matter where you travel. Yet, that was the most blatant. That vendor was not a Viennese, he was middle-eastern like most of the vendors at that market. I am of mixed ethnicity but most people would see me as Asian. BEWARE where ever you travel. How you appear WILL determine how you are treated.

Great market! I disagree with the negative reviews. Interesting and real. Sellers not too pushy had some lovely free cheese and offered dried fruit but I didn’t feel pressured to buy. Nice place for a bite to eat or a beer or coffee. Obviously not a flash as so much of Vienna but not as tacky as the Prater but the Prater is brilliant for teenagers. A nice change if you’ve seen a lot of ornate palaces and art!! Enjoy 😊

Pretty rubbish honestly, the place is just full of overpriced, touristy stalls and rude vendors trying to trick you into buying average food at inflated prices. I understand it is their job to sell their goods but some of them are plain rude shoving things at you and hassling you to come look at their stalls. I think it would’ve been really nice to walk around and see stuff on your own account but the people ruined the experience.

Some of the more restauranty places looked really nice though and didn’t hassle you to come inside. I wouldn’t recommend it

If you have plenty of time in Vienna, the Naschmarket is a colourful place to visit, but it should not be high on your list of things to do if time is limited. There are MANY more interesting places to visit. As other visitors have noted, you can be in for a hard sell at certain stores and there are prettier locations to sit outside to eat or enjoy a drink elsewhere in the city.

Please note: the market is definitely closed on Sundays like most places in Austria and Germany. Finding and visiting this market is well worth the time and money. There is plenty of variety between café’s, shops and produce. There are actually two main walking lanes. On busy days you will find these lanes slow as they are not very wide.

There are a number of Chinese-Thai restaurants. We liked “Li’s Cooking.” They had “clean” menus and the food is good. There is patio and inside seating. You will not go wrong at eating at Li’s Cooking.

Further from the central part of the market, it does it a bit tacky in a nice way. We also felt prices were different for each vendor. It does pay to comparison shop.

This area was once a river, now filled in. We actually visited twice and loved it both times.

I don’t see the appeal of this market. It seems to have the same shops over and over again, with not a lot of variety. Spices, counters full of olives, peppers, etc, and then veggies. I mean, it was an ok market, but probably more for locals and less for tourists? Also, I didn’t see a lot of authentic Viennese products, which maybe affected my lack of purchases.

We had been on a tour through the market but it was literally a quick walk through without stopping so we decided to come back on our own to have a closer look. Clearly there’s one if not multiple wasps nests near to the market that they need to deal with because there were wasps all over the place. What was weirder was that no one seemed that bothered. They were under the glass crawling through all the food. I’m terrified of wasps but no one else seemed bothered.
