Vienna Wants to Reform Markets: Less Junk, More Food

This is outlined in a planned amendment to the market regulations, with the city of Vienna granting stall operators a three-year transition period, reports "Wien heute". If a stall changes tenants, the new stallholder must present a concept including a business idea to the market office in the future.

Transfer of Market Stalls in Vienna Restricted for Seven Years

The transfer of market stalls was already more strictly regulated in 2018. For municipally owned stalls, there is no longer a right of transfer (except to children and grandchildren). The allocation of a market stall has been limited to 20 years to avoid speculation and high transfer fees.

Changes are also planned for the opening hours. They are to be extended at the district level, and the winter break for some weekly markets is to be abolished.

Vienna's markets are enjoying increasing popularity. Visitor numbers are continuously rising and amounted to around 21.3 million customers last year at the 17 permanent markets in the federal capital.
