Tips & Advice

  • Head over on an evening from Wednesday to Saturday, when the market stays open an hour longer than on Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays.
  • On Sundays the stalls open an hour later than on other days, so save a Sunday visit for the afternoon rather than the morning.
  • The market closes for the season on December 23, so pick up any last gifts from the stalls before Christmas Eve arrives.
  • Wrap up warmly, since the stalls stand outdoors around the Old Town Hall and you'll be on your feet in the late-autumn and December cold.
