Vienna's municipal markets

Vienna's Marktamt runs a set of permanent retail markets that open at six in the morning and close when the offices are still full, plus a handful of weekly markets that appear on one street on one day. They are the cheapest food in most of their districts, and some of them have been trading on the same square since the 1830s. Sorted here by district, with the trading hours each market actually keeps rather than the ones tourists assume.
