    2. Thank you, I stand corrected! ;-)
      I really like the Saturday farmers market. Whoever the customers are, they value fresh and regional, and the cafes and restaurants lining the square, with their lovely outdoor seating. I actually think there is a friendly mix of Viennese of various backgrounds, including the sellers themselves. I tend to think that they espouse a bit of that southern living in the moment philosophy. Spending Saturday mornings doing the weekly grocery shopping at the market is a chore, why not reward oneself by having breakfast in the sun, reading the paper, meet up with friends? I see no negative connotation with all that. And many people can make a living by catering to our heart's desire.

    3. Hi Merisi!
      I am not sure, if we understand each other? No negative connoctation at all, quite the contrary!
      What I wanted to say: A few hours later the very same place will cramped with the in-crowd in a and that the early hours are the best time. Just like in Rome, when you want to visit St Peter's Basilica.

    1. Farmers markets this time of the year are full of farmers selling lilacs. One of the reasons I love this market especially. Lilacs in Vienna usually start blooming the last ten days of so of April, lasting into May. Like everything else, they bloom early this year.
      Happy Easter to you, too!
