A Saturday morning stroll at Vienna's Naschmarkt


Imagine you live in a house like this with a beautiful balcony!


High above the busy traffic,


and pleasantly close to a busy market place!


Wiping the sleep out of your eyes, you enter the market,


you look around and think you are still dreaming!


Rich colours that make you smile


flowers as sweet as ice cream :)


lush colours of peonies and roses.


It's like a dream!


Stately villas along the street, Wienzeile, built around 1900,
everybody enjoying their stroll.


Look at the farmers' market:
veggies from the nearby Marchfeld, red and green, and so fresh!


First cherries from the Burgenland, and also some asparagus


neatly arranged with tomatos and cherries!


And, of course, the Mediterranean delicacies in abundance!


More summer flowers, arranged as if in a painting,


together with cherries, berries and peppers!


Ah, I'll buy some flowers for the balcony!


And maybe some strawberries for dessert?


And the onions, too, but just for their colour!


Some feathered spectators on the roof,
watching the scene!


We leave the crowded market and enter a side street.
Here, a street festival is in preparation!


Ah, let's have breakfast here, it looks so inviting!


Coffee please!
Wake me up! I'm still daydreaming!

Wow, thank you for taking us to Nashmarkt! It was worth it, even though you were still half asleep. The peonies and roses are beautiful!
oh yes, not to forget the balcony! They created a little green haven for themselves in the midst of concrete and traffic:)

Maria it is so hard to carry my basket with 4 bunches of aspatagus 2kg cherries, 2kg strawberries and a few other goodies with that heap of pink Peonies and Cornflowers oblitterating my view.
A mouthwatering post!

Ein schöner Bericht, der Naschmarkt ist schon ein besonderer Platz in Wien - die Früchte, die Farben, die Gerüche und auch die Menschen, sehenswert.

Hi Maria!
I wish I walked around the market
with you.
just only imagining it, it's fun:)
cherries and tomatos look really incredible.
they look more delicious than them in Tokyo.

Maria, a truly wonderful market with all the colourful flowers and vegetables in abundance. You describe everything so well it is nearly like being there! Love the glorious buildings too, the hustle and bustle of a city, but still it looks so very charming. Thank you for this lovely morning tour to the Naschmarkt. It is only 5.20 AM but now I am fully awake!
