The amazing thing with the Naschmarkt is that you can get pretty much anything for cooking. It's also really popular with chefs from the high end hotels and restaurants in the area.
Thanks for this Scott, this takes me back! I haven't been to the Naschmarkt for over 25 years ago but in the mid/late 90s I lived in Kapfenberg, Austria, and often stayed with friends in Vienna and almost always went to the Naschmarkt as there weren't any ethnic shops where I lived, you couldn't even get curry powder which I missed. On the Naschmarkt there was an Indian shop with that and more, including big boxes of PG Tips teabags. Also I often had a huge falafel pita, I think they only cost 15 Schillings at the time which was just under £1. Plus on the Rechter Weinzeile (the road on the south side of the Naschmarkt, it's sandwiched between the 2 Weinzeilen) there were a few Chinese and Japanese supermarkets.
Yet again another great video. What an amazing market the locals are so lucky to have it. In the authentic football mugs and tops I didn't see any StMirren stuff you must of been disappointed.
Just seen you walking today Scott , I would have loved to say hello but I was in the car and you seemed in a hurry lol, it was just at the Watermill Hotel on the bridge in Paisley, maybe next time 👍
I´m a Swede living in Vienna since eight years. Most of the time, I lived very close to Naschmarkt. Some more info: -Most locals never go there to buy food, if they don´t need anything very specific. There are too many tourists, and therefore expensive compared to other markets. -The exception is the fish market, close to Karlsplatz. You can find basically any fish and seafood you want, also in the restaurants. Expensive, yes, but you can get it. Even small cans of Russian caviar for some 1000 Euros a piece. -It is usually overcrowded, and you can have difficulties even coming through. It is not adapted for people in wheel chairs or people with a stroller. -If you want to eat, it is a food Mecca. You can find basically everything there. Somewhat overpriced, but still ok. -Don´t forget the side streets, just outside the market. Very many food shops (and restaurants), from all around the world. If they don´t have what you want, they will have the explanation of why it is not there. -There is a flee market every Saturday, at the top end. It is extremely good, with lots of stuff from cheap to expensive. Hagging about the price is possible, but if you don´t speak Austrian German, you will likely be fooled.
Vienna resident here: Vienna has amazing markets, and Naschmarkt is far from the best - having visited them all in the last 6 months, I would say, Brunnenmarkt in Ottakring is best with Viktor Adler-Markt in Favoriten a close second. Every tourist guide sends every tourist to Naschmarkt, so it has become very touristy (with souvenir stands selling straw hats - where are we, on a beach?), too one-sided, and too expensive for locals (I don't know any locals who buy Mozart-Kugeln, that's a purely tourist thing).
If you want to buy something, folks are most often very friendly. The locals have a reputation for being somewhat rude or direct though, but if you don´t speak Austrian German, you wont notice it. It is famous, it is called "Wiener Schmäh". It is a way to insult people with your appearense and your wits. The Vienna way of insults is often "friendly", like in "Are you waiting for your favorite color?" if you miss the change from red to green and stand in the way. Often accompanied with a smile. Rest assured, that was an irritated Viennese.
Been to Vienna but on a tour package for the sights so got no time to see markets. Nice to see fresh radishes, other veggies, spices, and fish that could make for a great "Sinigang", too bad I stay at hotels with no kitchen. Unless like some of our hotels here set up like apartments with kitchen complete with pans, knives, stoves, plates, silverwares, Dining table, etc. Would be nice to taste local produce. I don't like AirBnB aside from being too big for me, sometimes there are difficult property manager waited on but didn't appear, broken A/C;weak Wifi can't work; not aired nor clean smelt musty, etc. as narrated by vloggers and my siblings too.
While dekagram is not as commonly used, it is a part of the metric system. It's like the Americans who hardly use 'yard' as a measurement of distance, they'll say 30 ft, not 10 yd, but most will understand. The Swiss use 'Deci', short for deciliter or dl, a lot more often than we do, too. Beers are often served as 3 Deci, 4 Deci, etc. I'd use 30 and 40 cl, respectively. Or 0.30 and 0.40 l.
@@barvdw Came here to say this. "Deka" is probably short for "deca-" which is an SI prefix equal to ten units. So they're pricing in units of 10g. Also just came back from Switzerland and wine/beer is priced in dl or cl depending on the establishment. I saw a lot more pricing in cl this time but I was also in French Switzerland more.
20 different stalls selling the same Turkish products mostly . Nice bars . As fresh fish as you can get in a land locked country and about as viennese as I am . The district to the right is very viennese though
Did Interrail this year and visited Austria. I was a bit disappointed. All the cities are a bit samey after a while. Unlike Italy where each one has its own character and all so different
I’ve been there just lately and felt it was more of a tourist rip of place Except of the few exotic spices and fruits/vegetables and fish it’s more like tones of souvenirs and stuff from AliExpress reselling Also the restaurants are all priced double as it you go a street further
You are right... Nobody in the right mind from Vienna going there. There are A LOT of genuen Markets where you can buy the same food as People who visit a Market buy. But there is no reason to visit a Market anymore...
@@nowaymuller6643 I agree! Back in the days vendors offered stuff in the market you couldn’t by anywhere else. Or farmer sold stuff they harvested. But today vendors just go to the wholesale market and buy the exact same stuff you’re supermarket would buy and sell it for twice the price. Markets are mostly a Relikt of the past in Western Europe. However in Easy Europa you’ll find some grannies selling the crops of their garden. Excellent quality and very good prices. That’s another world
they have ethnic butcher shops (especially Turkish and Syrian, I believe), so while I wouldn't say you can get it in every shop, you will find it quite easily.
I like markets. Market traders are often specialised in their product (so you get ripe fruit and vegetables in stead of still green bananas or apples, cheeses sold when they're 'just right', etc), prices can be negotiated (especially at the end of the market, or when buying in bulk), and are often lower than in the supermarket, as they don't have to pay for a brick-and-mortar store building. The Naschmarkt is open almost every day (except Sundays), but often, these merchants do multiple markets, and sell products you don't need every day, but want regularly enough. We ate fish most often when it was market, as that was the day the fishmonger stood was there (we didn't have a fish shop, and frankly, what they sell in most supermarkets is either overpriced, overrated or both.)
Oh I could go some of that Manchego cheese! Thanks for the wander around, I'd say just as well it wasn't too busy, easier to film!
Agree with you Scott, Vienna and Berlin are amazing cities. The covered bazaar in Istanbul has a massive selection of spices.
Vienna has IMO absolutely the best Christmas market in Europe and we've been to lots of other cities markets
The amazing thing with the Naschmarkt is that you can get pretty much anything for cooking. It's also really popular with chefs from the high end hotels and restaurants in the area.
Thanks Scott for the guided tour of the market. No trains, no planes, but plenty of everything. 😅
I love TH-cam, today I got to take a guided tour in Vienna. Thank you for taking us along!
7:25 the sea bass look surprised to see you!!
I’d never heard of the Naschmarkt! It looks fantastic!! Another reason to add Vienna to my travel list 😃👍
Its a huge scam.... You find the same products WAY cheaper in normal Supermarkets or Turkish Supermarkets if you really want them.
6 trips as airline staff to VIE and never heard of this market. Many thanks Scott, you've got me a new experience next time. 😊

The Mozart chocolate marzipan is amazing. 🤎
Top class Scott

Very nice tour my bro, Gratidão! 💚✨
Market visits in the UK and Abroad are a must on my holiday to do list!
Thank you scott good market enjoyed
Absolutely wonderful market, especially the fruit and veg! A very enjoyable wander round. Thank you for showing this great place.
Hi Scott I look forward to seeing your adventures every week. Keep up the great work. Luv from Melbourne Australia 😊
Thanks Lee, what a great choice
I loved this one, so colourful. Such a huge variety of things to buy, right up my street. Thank you for showing us around Scott 🥰
Amazing video love the fruit section
I'd heard about this place but unfortunately didn't manage to visit it when I was in Vienna last year. I'll have to put it on my list for next time
Didn't realise you were such a foodie Scott. I love a market too, I always check to see if there is one on where I'm going.
Gotta love the berry variety

Year you are right. I buy my Food from "Metro" who is a resale for business People. The have the same spice but in 1kg Box for less...
Thank you!
Super video as always ,and also great to meet you in person at the world cycling champs
Scott, I waited until the end but you didn't have a beer or anything to eat!
Interesting market. Prices are commensurate with Vienna I guess. Sea Bream in the Athens, GR market is about 6-8 Euros per kilo.
That was great! Too bad they don't have smell-o-vision because I bet that market had some interesting aromas!
You seem to be going everywhere I went a few weeks ago when i was interrailing First Teufelsburg now Naschmarkt- its getting freaky now
You should visit Serbia, we have a great range of meat and vegetables that I'm sure you would like.
I felt as though those fish were staring at me 😮
Wow, so much to eat but such a small place to stuff all those goodies. Wonder how the wild boar tastes. Were you salivating all throughout ?

I wish I had a market like that near me
Vienna looks smashing. How are the people! friendly or rude. Man you sure do get about. Your like a walking globe Scott. But hey! stay safe and enjoy.

The Viennese sometimes come off a little square or stiff, but otherwise they're fine. Much more convivial than Parisians in my experience.

I wonder if EU HQ Brussels know old Austrian units of weight are being used ? Looks a great place 👍

Oh, my that’s quite the place to explore foods. In the USA, everything is in short supply and expensive😢
The problem there is not finding somewhere to eat but deciding which one to use.
20 different stalls selling the same Turkish products mostly . Nice bars . As fresh fish as you can get in a land locked country and about as viennese as I am . The district to the right is very viennese though
Even Norwegian brown goats's cheese!

Genuine question. How easy is it to get halal food in Wein?
they have ethnic butcher shops (especially Turkish and Syrian, I believe), so while I wouldn't say you can get it in every shop, you will find it quite easily.
I won't lie, I wonder how the food markets manage to make any money at all these days.

@@barvdw Glad you enjoy a market pal, they just don't really appeal to me.
Great video Scott keep up the great work
What!? You got as far as the 'turnaround' before seeing a café/restaurant... and no mention of needing a coffee yourself? How unusual.
Have you visited Heidelberg in Germany. The castle is fantastic. Has a funicular that takes you so high up.
Viennese people don't go there 100% tourist trap. used tobe cool 20years ago.
Ridiculous number of adevrts before and during this particular video
