About this tour
This session walks Naschmarkt, Vienna's oldest food market, into the quieter streets of the Freihausviertel beyond it. You see a Käsekrainer sausage coming off the grill and a Wiener Schnitzel served inside a small Beisl. It also covers the Saturday flea market that sets up at one end of the market when it runs.
The guide opens with a sound check at the market entrance, then moves stall by stall before crossing into the Freihausviertel. You can ask about specific dishes, the market's history or the neighbourhood as the walk goes on. A short list of stalls and the Beisl visited is sent on afterwards.
This suits anyone planning a food-focused day in Vienna who wants the market mapped out first. It also suits former visitors who only ever walked through Naschmarkt without knowing what lay behind it.
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
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Vienna before heading out.
-
Naschmarkt stalls 21 min
The camera moves along Naschmarkt, Vienna's oldest market, past barrels of pickles and trays of Balkan burek stacked at a corner stall. The guide explains how the market has run for over a kilometre since the nineteenth century.
-
A Würstelstand 21 min
At a Würstelstand the camera watches a Käsekrainer come off the grill, cheese already bubbling out of the sausage skin. The guide explains what separates a Käsekrainer from other sausages sold at the same stand.
-
Freihausviertel and a Beisl 21 min
In the Freihausviertel the camera looks in at a Beisl, a small neighbourhood restaurant, where a Wiener Schnitzel is plated for a table. The guide explains what makes the district different from the market outside and mentions the Saturday flea market when it runs.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Vienna: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Sachertorte and Innere Stadt, worth a slower look.
