The market is open every day and every day it is crowded. Hardly any tourist comes to this place, as Brunnenmarkt is located not in the center of the city, but even not in Gurtel area (a beltway similar to Moscow Third Ring Road). Fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat, nuts and sweets – a perfect alternative to the supermarket and several times cheaper than on the central Naschmarkt. The Turkish diaspora lives in the vicinity of the market what gives Brunnenmarkt specific character. Here you will find many Turkish shops, cafes and local residents of the area.

Karmelitermarkt
Karmelitermarkt is located in the Jewish district of Vienna that holds the name Leopoldstadt. The area is very cozy and calm. But lately apart from companies of orthodox Jews, creative youth more and more prefer to spend time here. In addition to traditional shopping at Karmelitermarkt, it is very nice to sit in one of the restaurants. When it is warm I highly recommend to have breakfast on the terrace of Tewa. But to be honest, lunches and dinners are amazing there as well.
Vorgartenmarkt
Vorgartenmarkt occupies a vast territory right in the center of Vienna. It has recently been reconstructed and since then it is not only a place of trade but also of many interesting events being held. For example, each second week there is a tasting “The Culinary Heritage of Austria” held in the market, and the dishes of national cuisine, cooked with love and from organic local products are being offered.
Yppenmarkt
Actually, it is an ongoing of Brunnenmarkt. And it means that going to the sixth district is killing two birds with one stone and visiting two color markets at once. Yppenmarkt appeared at Yppenplatz back in 1895. Now at this square you can find many nice small restaurants, but keep in mind that the market itself and all gastronomic places are closed on Sundays.
Naschmarkt
However strange it might sound, but Vienna has a lot of exotic. Here you can purchase African, Indian, Asian, Australian and south American specialties. One of the most popular places for that is the noisy market Naschmarkt that is located right in the heart of Vienna. There are many restaurants here as well, and locals like making appointments here.
