On Sunday, July 1st I went to the flea market in Hietzing…read more This flea market is situated at the beginning of one of the main Viennese shopping streets and one of the best areas of Vienna, directly after one of the entrances of the Castle of Schoenbrunn. It can be easily reached by U4 Stop Hietzing and the tram no. 60. The pieces offered are really authentic antique (e.g. Biedermeier, Art Nouveau, etc.) With the jewelry you have to be careful, there are only a few pieces that are authentic antique. But there is lots to see and the amount is really great compared to other markets. One thing that is really stupid is that you cannot really see the prices, because they are either not labeled or at the bottom of the pieces. The prices seem to be a little high. Thus when you lift the thing just to know how much it costs or you ask most of the sellers want to force you to buy the stuff!!! - and that is what I hate when I go to a market... The idea is great, and summarizing I must say this is a much better market than the one in the city of Baden, 24km down to the south of Vienna. The location there is a square place, but there are too many stands so you cannot really see and pick out and the prices are far too high. Besides the pieces are most of the time not authentic. This is why I prefer this market. Maybe the location you go to next time???

This is a great bookstore for the antiquarian collector. They have a "showroom" on the 5th floor…read morewith a small but enticing collection on display. While you're in the showroom, they'll also lend you an ipad to review their collection online using their website. If you find something of interest, they will bring it up from their storage room on the 4th floor, so you can examine it. If you're in luck, Sarah will be there. She was so friendly and helpful (and is originally from the US, which is helpful if you prefer English). Even so, it's recommended you review their collection on their website first, so you can come in with at least a provisional list of items you'd like to see. This is not a bookstore where you should expect to peruse the stacks.
