Vienna is a unique city. It’s not uncommon to find cities that have the best of two worlds, either featuring a unique countryside or gardens to balance a modern cityscape or mixing the old and the new, as in historical buildings alongside a modern cityscape. But within the center of Vienna you can find a diverse set of cultures and architecturally unique congregation of buildings. It’s a town known by its historical center, full of Romantic buildings, but it also features a modern business center, with skyscrapers and facilities worthy of any modern capital. And within this seemingly irreconcilable cityscapes, we can also find beautiful gardens and, surprisingly, small to medium ethnic neighborhoods full of foreign life.
But perhaps the most picturesque aspect of Vienna is its flea markets, of which the Naschmarkt is, if not the greatest, at least the most famous. Originally a milk market, it started carrying fruits and vegetables. With the normal re-invention of many Vienna landmarks, it now carries food and items from all around the world, from traditional Austrian and Viennese products to exotic spices and food items from the farthest corners of the World. The cheap flights to Vienna now make it almost worthwhile to take a trip to the city and get a taste of the World in the market – just make sure you can carry the goods back home.
