Victor Adler Market – Vienna’s insider tip in the 10th district
Favoriten | open Mon-Wed & Fri 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Thu 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sat 6 a.m. to 6 p.m
Located between Favoritenstrasse and Senefeldergasse, the Victor-Adler-Markt is in the heart of the 10th district. This is one of the most unconventional markets in Vienna with a distinctive atmosphere. Among connoisseurs it is also called "Platzl" and at the stands the Wiener Schmäh runs like nowhere else. The louder the vendors advertise their wares, the more authentic the market - so the Victor-Adler-Markt cannot be more original. It is also one of the most traditional markets in Vienna with a history of almost 150 years since it was founded in 1877.
Our tip: A detour to Leibnizgasse is worth it, because there is a rustic farmers' market with regional products!
Meidlinger Markt – Vienna with a difference, full of enjoyment
Meidling | open Mon-Fri 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sat 6 a.m. to max. 6 p.m
Are you looking for an original activity at the weekend? We can recommend the Meidlinger Markt to you - this is the ideal market in Vienna to stroll through the stalls and let yourself be carried away by the different impressions. The Meidlinger Markt is a lot quieter than the Victor-Adler-Markt and perfect for all those who want to start the weekend in Vienna relaxed. If you want to be spoiled with culinary delights, you should definitely take a break in the restaurant on the market and let yourself be spoiled with exquisite Austrian cuisine.
Liesinger Markt – experience Vienna in a new way
Liesinger Platz | open Fri 8 a.m. to 5 p.m
The fresh food market in Liesing is a real insider tip in Vienna that not even all of the long-established people know about. Every Friday, the Liesinger Platz is transformed into a colorful marketplace with around 15 stalls. You will find fresh food, organic products and culinary specialties here. The market has only existed since 2005, but it hides a history full of commitment from the stallholders. The group has founded an association to create and run this market in Vienna itself.
Our tip is to visit the annual market festival at Liesinger Platz - a festival with tradition.
Organic market Lange Gasse – experience the highest quality in Vienna
Long alley in the Josefstadt | open Sat 8 a.m. to 5 p.m
Markets in Vienna can be found in (almost) every district - but the organic and specialty market Lange Gasse is the first in Josefstadt. It takes place every Saturday in Lange Gasse, which has only recently been turned into a pedestrian zone. In the newly paved alley, vendors offer their goods in highest organic quality - a must for all gourmets. What else makes this market so special? Farmers come from the surrounding areas themselves to sell their goods directly and freshly at the market in Lange Gasse!
