Food Scene
Café Goldegg
49 ArgentinierstraßeSchlossquadrat
21 Schlossgasseit´s a kaleidoscope of exotic food, scents and people.
Although the market has become quite touristy, I recommend taking a stroll through the stalls and breathing in market air. On Saturdays you can take a walk through the all day flea market behind the Naschmarkt (it looks like a battle field ;o)
Don´t miss the grandiose architecture on your left and right side, especially Otto Wagners´flower and gold facades!
