Before that it was located at the Am Hof square, but that area soon became too small for all those interested in cheap second hand goods and antiquities. Flea market is located next to the river Wien, between Vienna’s 4th and 5th districts; it is served by the underground line U4 station Kettenbrückengasse. The flea market takes place every Saturday from 6:30 until 18:00 o’clock, even by the bad weather.

However, visiting is available for everyone; do not hesitate to experience this side of Vienna.
