Markets in Tuscany

Markets can give you a true experience of Italian day-to-day life. Farmers, cheese makers, olive oil producers, and fishermen all join together in the daily markets across the region. Locals like to come to the weekly local market to taste, buy, haggle, and socialise. The abundant sunshine in Italy ensures rich tastes in fruits and vegetables. Take your time (but do not go too late as the best things sell out first) and enjoy the intense colours and flavours! The setting up of the stalls begins in the morning between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., and the markets usually close around 13:00 p.m. to 14:00 p.m.

Markets are always an entertaining experience, especially when you are on holiday. So, in this blog, you will find regular weekly markets in beautiful Tuscany. All you need to do is to choose where to go! 

If you are in Tuscany’s capital, Florence, do not forget the Central Market. This 19th-century indoor market hall is located in the centre of the San Lorenzo neighbourhood and sells fresh, local ingredients. The freshly constructed food court on the market's second floor allows you to enjoy your own personal Tuscan taste of the region's greatest local ingredients. Thus, in the area, you will find many good restaurants if you get hungry.
