Karmelitermarkt, one of the oldest markets in Vienna, boasts a fascinating history dating back to 1671.
Located in the 2nd district, Karmeliterviertel, known as the center of Jewish life in Vienna, it features kosher stores, bakeries, restaurants, and religious institutions nearby. Its significance in Jewish culture stems from the fact that, until the Holocaust, much of Vienna’s Jewish population resided there.
But let’s shift the focus to the market itself. Karmelitermarkt serves as the heartbeat of the district, hosting over 80 market stalls. Open every day except Sunday, it offers a diverse selection of goods. While not as extensive and exotic as Naschmarkt, you’re guaranteed to find something to take home. From international cheese specialties to fresh meat, fruits, and vegetables, as well as organic delicacies like dairy products, there’s something for everyone. Additionally, if you’re craving something freshly made, nearby bars and restaurants have you covered.
