Neighbourhood guide

Mariahilf

The Naschmarkt and Mariahilfer Straße

Mariahilf is best known for the Naschmarkt and for Mariahilfer Straße, Vienna's long shopping street. Opera, theatre and coffee houses sit in between.

The Naschmarkt runs along the Wienzeile with produce stalls, restaurants and, on Saturdays, a flea market at the Kettenbrückengasse end. The Majolikahaus and the Theater an der Wien stand along the same stretch.

On the other side, Gumpendorfer Straße has traditional coffee houses such as Café Sperl, the Haydnhaus keeps the composer's last home, and the Haus des Meeres fills the flak tower in the Esterházypark.

Getting there

U3 stops at Neubaugasse and Zieglergasse, U4 at Kettenbrückengasse, and U2 reaches the edge at Museumsquartier (Wiener Linien). Buses 13A and 57A run along the main streets.
