Naschmarkt Vienna – how to get there

Getting to the Naschmarkt: Where is it located?

The Naschmarkt is located in Vienna’s 6th district, Mariahilf. You will find it stretched out between Getreidemarkt and Kettenbrückengasse. From Vienna’s city center—for example, starting at the State Opera or the Hofburg Palace—it is only a 10 to 15-minute walk. Public transport is an excellent way to get here, and cycling is also a great option. However, arriving by car is difficult. Traffic in downtown Vienna is almost constant, and parking near the Naschmarkt is very limited—especially since the construction of the “Naschpark,” which replaced the parking lot that used to be right next to the market. Before we dive into the travel details, here is everything you need to know about reaching the market.

Arriving by Public Transport

The Naschmarkt is so centrally located that it is very easy to reach by public transport, with several options available. The nearest subway (U-Bahn) stations are Karlsplatz and Kettenbrückengasse. From Karlsplatz, it is about a 7-minute walk to the market entrance, while at Kettenbrückengasse, you step out directly onto the market grounds. Karlsplatz also serves several tram lines and a bus line runs right along the Naschmarkt with multiple stops. To keep things simple, here is a breakdown of the best ways to get here:

• By Subway (U-Bahn): The subway is the most practical and fastest way to arrive, as it serves both ends of the market directly. This is our top recommendation for visitors! –> Find the best Naschmarkt subway connections here
• By Bus: The Clever Cross-Connection While buses might not be as fast as the subway, they offer unbeatable direct connections from areas where the U-Bahn might not be as convenient. Buses are your best choice if you are coming from the Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof) or Mariahilfer Straße.
• By Tram: The Ring Road Connection The tram (locally called the “Bim”) does not stop directly at the market stalls, but it offers a scenic route, especially if you are already traveling along the Ringstraße. Arriving by tram is like taking a mini sightseeing tour of the city.

Arriving by Car

Traveling by car is generally not recommended and should only be a last resort. It often involves the stress of hunting for a spot and high costs due to parking fees. Direct parking at the Naschmarkt is no longer possible since the construction of the Naschpark. You can try your luck in the short-term parking zones in the surrounding streets, or use one of the nearby parking garages (which can be quite expensive). –> Find the best Parking options close to the Naschmarkt
