Oh my, Vienna´s weather yesterday has been so beautiful!
We´ve had cloudless blue skies with temperature of 20°C..
We´ve been waiting for this moment after a grey in grey winter.
It´s the first day of Spring!!!
So I thought of making a stroll, walked down the road not so
far away from the city center to Naschmarkt ( in Vienna´s 6th District).
Some 6 years before, we used to have our old office here,
to be exact, it´s the building parallel to the tram in the pic below
... I could see from my office window the comotions down the market
on a busy day..
The pic below depicted the original market a century back and though
changes evolved, it still maintained its form up to now.

It´s Vienna`s most popular market which historically existed since the
16th century.. The vendors sell all fruits, vegetables and other
food from around the world.
It is also the food mecca of the city. The restaurants , bistros and cafes are always full that you would hardly get a seat as in the above image and the photo that I took below.
Flowers are also sold in abundance
as well as condiments, dips, antipastis ...you name it!
Each stall gives passers-by a sample to taste....
....dips and spreads you could hardly resist and ask yourself that you
would like to buy a few grams...which makes the stall owner smile in all directions.
Lots of fresh vegetables
left & right....
Sweets & spices are nicely and neatly packed to invite locals and
tourists to buy their products
A stall full of dried fruits, berries as well as nuts of all kinds
are also sold here
Oriental spices are one of the top selling items here.
Teas, coffee and chocolates are also being offered as well as locally produced wines direct from winemakers
Tea culture, anyone?
more sweets
A stall that offers colorful tablecloth, fabric bags as well as wall hangings and other accessories from the orient.
Buildings are full of architectural details
If it´s Architecture you´re looking for, Vienna has plenty of those..

Hope you enjoy the tour of Naschmarkt.... and if you plan to visit the city, do keep in mind to pass by this interesting place....you´ll love its flair! Happy weekend ! |
