About this tour
This session covers Naschmarkt's Turkish stalls, a long-standing part of the market I know well since I speak some Turkish myself. You see a grocer stocked for the community that has traded here for decades and then a baklava counter, where I explain which trays are made fresh daily. It is a session on one specific thread of the market's wider history.
I move between stalls slowly, translating where it helps and asking questions I know matter to the stallholders. Viewers can ask their own questions too, passed along directly. A short shopping list follows once we finish.
This suits anyone interested in Vienna's multicultural food history beyond the obvious Austrian dishes. It also works well paired with the cheese and spice session.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Vienna, showing you Turkish Grocer and Baklava Counter live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
