Vienna’s markets: Viktor-Adler-Markt, Naschmarkt and more

Viktor-Adler-Markt: the everyday market in Favoriten

Viktor-Adler-Markt lies on the pedestrianised Favoritenstraße in the 10th district and is known locally simply as the “Platzl”. Founded in 1877 and extended in 1910, it has been named after the Social Democrat Victor Adler since 1919. The stalls sell food of every kind: fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and bread, with snack stands in between. In the mornings a farmers’ market sets up in the adjoining Leibnizgasse. The traders are known for being loud and direct, and this is a market for the daily shop.

Getting there: U1 to Keplerplatz or Reumannplatz; the market is between the two stations. From Domenig House – Design Apartments at Favoritenstraße 118 it is only a short way along the pedestrian zone, and the kitchenette in the Rooftop Suite means the shopping can be put to use straight away. For the rest of the area, see the guide to Favoriten.

Naschmarkt: between Karlsplatz and Kettenbrückengasse

The Naschmarkt runs along the Wienzeile between Karlsplatz and Kettenbrückengasse. The Vienna tourist board counts more than 120 stalls and restaurants: fruit and vegetables, spices, cheese, fish and delicatessen goods, with places to eat ranging from Viennese cooking to sushi. A farmers’ market is added on Fridays and Saturdays, and on Saturdays the large flea market sets up by Kettenbrückengasse station. Since November 2025 the Marktraum, a hall with 13 stalls for regional produce, has stood at the Kettenbrücke end, next to the Naschpark, a new green space on the former car park.

Getting there: U4 to Kettenbrückengasse, or U1, U2 and U4 to Karlsplatz. From Keplerplatz, Karlsplatz is three stops on the U1.

Brunnenmarkt and Yppenplatz in Ottakring

The Brunnenmarkt in the 16th district follows Brunnengasse between Thaliastraße and Ottakringer Straße. With around 170 stalls over 948 metres it is, according to the City of Vienna, the longest permanent street retail market in Europe; together with the adjoining Yppenmarkt it counts as Vienna’s largest retail market. The tourist board speaks of a southern European feel with a strong Turkish flavour, and of vegetables, fish and spices at fair prices. At the northern end the street opens onto Yppenplatz, with brick-built market pavilions and many places to eat and drink.

Getting there: U6 to Thaliastraße or Josefstädter Straße. Coming from the U1, change to the U3 at Stephansplatz and to the U6 at Westbahnhof.

Karmelitermarkt in Leopoldstadt

Karmelitermarkt in the 2nd district goes back to a market privilege of 1671 and has been on its present site, between Im Werd, Haidgasse, Leopoldsgasse and Krummbaumgasse, since 1910. The City of Vienna lists around 80 stalls and describes the farmers’ market held here, chiefly on Fridays and Saturdays, as one of the largest in Vienna. According to the tourist board, Leopoldstadt is the hub of Jewish life in the city, and there are kosher shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood.

Getting there: U2 to Taborstraße, or bus 2A, which runs from Stephansplatz via Schwedenplatz to the market. From Keplerplatz, take the U1 five stops to Schwedenplatz and walk across the Danube Canal.

Rochusmarkt and Meidlinger Markt: two smaller neighbourhood markets

Rochusmarkt in the 3rd district sits on Landstraßer Hauptstraße opposite the Rochuskirche. The tourist board notes that it began as a flower market, and flower stalls are still a feature; with about forty stalls it is one of the city’s smaller markets. The U3 station Rochusgasse has an exit straight onto the market. From the U1, change at Stephansplatz; Rochusgasse is the third stop towards Simmering.

Meidlinger Markt in the 12th district has, in the tourist board’s words, kept much of its old character, though vegan and gluten-free stalls now stand beside the traditional fruit, vegetable and meat sellers. Getting there: U6 to Niederhofstraße or U4 to Meidling Hauptstraße.

Practical notes for a market visit

Vienna’s markets are working-day markets. Stalls trade from Monday to Saturday and stay closed on Sundays. Farmers’ stands appear at several markets only on certain days, for example on Fridays and Saturdays at the Naschmarkt and Karmelitermarkt. Exact times vary from market to market and from stall to stall, so check current opening times with the City of Vienna before you set out.

All six markets are at or near an underground station. Lines and interchanges from Keplerplatz are explained in getting around Vienna. If you plan to shop at the market and cook for yourself, the comparison of apartment or hotel may help you decide where to stay.
