The Naschmarkt
Arguably the most popular market in Vienna, the Naschmarkt is among the oldest markets in the city, and covers a huge area while offering almost everything that you can think of. If you are interested in diverse international food items, then head to this flea market. You can find fresh Asian shrimps, Italian cheese, spices, olives and all sorts of fruits.
The great part is that none of these will burn a hole in your pocket. Apart from food, you can also get old furniture, carpets, postcards from the times of war, Indian jewelry etc.
The Flohmarkt am Naschmarkt (Vienna’s flea market)
Located just adjacent to the Naschmarkt, Vienna’s Flohmarkt am Naschmarkt is Vienna’s largest flea market and one of the best flea markets in Europe. Surrounded by magnificent Art Nouveau buildings, this flea market stretches for several blocks of stands hawking books, clothes, records, ancient electrical goods, old postcards, ornaments, carpets and many more, including what many would consider junk.
The Flohmarkt am Naschmarkt has space for 400 exhibitors, half of which are reserved for Vienna’s antique dealers and is a great attraction for lovers of everything old and bizarre… Non-professional vendors can also offer objects for sale, too, and there is a large variety of things sold at the Flohmarkt am Naschmarkt: high-quality collector’s items and furniture in need of minor restoration work as well as books, second-hand clothes, curiosities and junk.
