OmniGraffle Professional allows MS Visio imports and exports. However this is not open source or free - but it does have a 14 day free trial version.

As of a few releases ago, LibreOffice (free and open-source) supports not only read, but editing of Visio projects. Pretty sweet. This has been my solution for Visio portability on all my Linux's for some time. I have tested and it works just as well on OSX.
Read more on the added feature.

You can open Visio files on a Mac using Lucidchart since it's web-based. Dat reader for windows 10. It imports .vsd and .vdx files from Visio.
You can get a read-only view of the Visio files for free; if you want to edit them, then you can use a 14-day free trial or subscribe.

check these 3rd-party, it's not bad but not cheap.

Both of these apps do not really open Visio files nicely.. You will find large sections of the drawing moved, or certain images/objects replaced. It becomes very annoying if you are opening up complex technical drawing.

The best way I have found to solve the problem is to use either a VM of a Windows machine running the full version of office or a slightly cleverer way is to download a program called CrossOver. This then allows you to install PC Applications as if the Mac is running windows. I now have Visio 2007 running successfully on the Mac without having to run a full Windows VM Image. Works really nicely.
