Vienna Antique shopping in Vienna - advice please
Posted: Tue April 8, 2008 08:57 AM UTC
Good Morning,

I'm coming to Vienna later this month and I'd like to check out some of Vienna's antique shops or markets. Can anybody provide me with advice of where to go and if there are any 'must-see' markets.

I'm not particularly interested in large pieces or in furniture. I am more interested in unusual items and smaller objects. Brick-a-brack stores would be most welcome, as would 'junk' shops, but not those selling 1980s cast-offs. I really like genuine antique oddities.

Thank-you, hope to hear from you soon.

Vienna must be a paradise for people like you! There are plenty of such shops, especially in the districts 3rd-9th. Exactly which are considered must-sees among the connaisseurs I don't know. I'd walk the streets in 4th and 7th, for example Margaretenstrasse, Siebensterngasse, Burggasse, Neubaugasse.

the fleamarket at Naschmarkt was mentioned already, it starts quite early in the morning and at around 3.00pm it is over
In addition there is a "Kunst-Markt" very friday and saturday "Am Hof", that is a square next to Freyung, they have better things, while Naschmarkt is verything between rubbish and exclusive items
