Visiting markets is always high on my agenda when I'm overseas. Flea market, farmers market, Sunday market, local food market, flower market... I love them all!
There are several markets in Viennna but we only had time for one. So we picked the largest one - Naschmarkt, the urban market that is over half a kilometer long with over 100 permanent stalls. It has been in existence since the 16th century and is well regarded as a true Viennese landmark. I highly recommend it if a taste of Viennese street culture and casual dining are what you're after.

Gherkins. |

Artichoke. |

There are many stalls selling culinary herbs. |
|
Today, you can find everything here, from Indian to Turkish food. |
|
The garden shop is my favourite. |
It was very crowded that Saturday. It's like a giant farmers market with cafes and restaurants serving delicious food and coffee, hence the place is packed with tourists and locals.

Nuts. |
At the end of Naschmarkt, right after crossing Kettenbrückengasse, is the Vienna fleamarket that is operational every Saturday
morning.We had great fun browsing and picking through chinaware, handicraft, antique cameras, leather shoes and jackets. It's definitely a great way to spend the day.
