Vienna On A Budget

The Many Flea Markets In Vienna

The city of Vienna has always been known for its architectural beauty and rich heritage. Along with these, it is also popular for its sprawling and chaotic flea markets. These markets are attracting both locals and tourists in huge numbers. These traditional markets are located right in the heart of the city and are one of the must visits for the foreign tourists. Treat yourself to find a mind boggling range of antique stuff right from local food items to old furniture to trinkets of jewellery and what not at throw away prices at these flea markets in Vienna.

However, shopkeepers here often over price the goods to a very large extent. So, you have to be prepared to negotiate and bargain very hard or else someone is going to rip you off. But relax, it is not as bad and tiring as it sounds. In fact, within the lively atmosphere of the flea markets, you might actually start enjoying the whole haggling process. The following is a list of the prominent flea markets in Vienna with the necessary details:

Naschmarkt Flea Market

Open on Saturdays 9 am to 4 pm

Location- Along Wienzeile over the Wien River between U4 stops of Kettenbruckengasse and Karlsplatz

Naschmarkt is arguably the most popular flea market in Vienna. Among the oldest in the city, it covers a huge area and offers 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 jewellery etc. All in all, a trip to Naschmart makes for an amazing experience, both for the purpose of shopping and just to have a good time.

Flohmarkt Flea Market

Open Saturdays from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm

Location- Adjacent to Naschmarkt Flea Market

Situated right next to Naschmarkt, the Flohmarkt flea market is also full of little treasures. It is a storehouse of antique items like Old Swiss watches, ancient books, unique glassware etc. But again, be ready to dig beneath the heaps of stuff to find these goodies.

Best place to shop for clothes in Europe in Jan/Feb?

I’m stopping by Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Vienna, Salzburg, Geneva, Rome, Milan, Italy, Venice, Berlin. In so many cities which do you think is the best place for an affordable shopping spree (I’m actually on a limited budget, but I did set aside some cash on shopping!), I know Milan is another one of the fashion’s capital of the world, but other than ‘WINDOW’-shop there, I don’t think I’d be able to do much. Also, can you name the specific area, ie which side of town, which area of the cities? Thanks…
Oh, in case people are asking the same question again- I am not going to France this year because I have been to France last year, and I had a great time there, between Dineyland Paris, and Champs de Elysees and the food and the language- I experienced it all, and now would like to explore some other possibilities in europe. I was at Hamburg last year too, where I literally shopped till I dropped.

Wow!

You`re actually going to so many European countries in how many weeks again?

Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Italy…

Why so many different cities in Italy and only one from each and every other country?!?

That`s not fair on the other countries!

I would have suggested Paris but it doesn`t look like you`re stopping in France at all!

Why is that I wonder?

In that case, any Italian city should do it for you but I cannot give you any specific addresses, sorry!

Why aren`t you stopping in London by the way? Dreadful weather that time of year, I know, but still some splendid shopping to be done!
