This isn’t a market square as such, but a market street. Actually it’s one of the two remaining permanent street markets in Vienna. But we wanted to include it anyway as we love it so much, and the Kutschkermarkt has been around forever. First mentioned in written form in 1885, this little jewel has seen ‘em all. It offers a huge variety of cuisines and stands. There’s Turkish Kebab, Austrian organic produce, French crepes, Italian hand-made pasta, and much more. In addition to the fix stands open all day, there’s a farmer’s market installed on Friday and Saturday, sporting mobile stands with Burgenland wine, Styrian apples and berries, vegetables from Lower Austria, and freshly caught fish. And when the temperature’s right, you can sit on the cobblestone street, and talk to strangers till the stars come out, and the stands close down. The prices here aren’t the cheapest, but the quality is top notch.
Our favourite features of the market

+ The all-bio greißler – and Vienna’s organic pioneer – Naturkost Brunnader
+ A quiet breakfast at café Himmelblau
