Neighborhood Score · Good place to live
79

Last updated: August 2026

A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 4th district. Strongest on Public transport and Safety, while Affordability is more of a trade-off.

Something is always happening at the Naschmarkt — by day a rush for the senses, by evening a meeting place of many languages and cuisines. The lanes are narrow and the houses tall; much of life is out on the street. Quiet is hard to come by.

The streetscape is almost solidly Gründerzeit apartment houses.

How safe is Naschmarkt?

Safety in Naschmarkt: Good (7.5/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.

Is Naschmarkt dangerous?

Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Naschmarkt sits at 7.5 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Good). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.

Is Naschmarkt noisy?

How hot does Naschmarkt get in summer?

In summer Naschmarkt is heat-prone — warmer than the Vienna average. Heat index 67 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Dense, enclosed building form stores the day's heat and releases it slowly at night; there is little green to cool it. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
