This private food tour at Vienna's Brunnenmarkt takes you into one of the city's liveliest markets. You taste your way through Ottakring and see a side of Vienna most guidebooks miss.
The Brunnenmarkt in the 16th district is one of Vienna's longest street markets. For decades traders from Turkey, the former Yugoslavia and many other countries have shaped what is on offer: fruit and vegetables, spices, flatbread, olives and fresh fish.
On the adjoining Yppenplatz, market stalls, cafes and farmers' stands come together. It shows how a former working-class district has become a popular meeting place without losing its character.
Your guide shares the history of Ottakring, its migration and change, and leads you to small tastings along the way. You also hear about Ottakring's brewing tradition and classic Viennese dishes that have picked up new influences here.
