The Bellinzona market is a popular event that has established itself as one of Ticino’s most valuable traditions. In the city’s historic center, among the signs of old inns, colorful, well-laid-out stalls entice visitors to purchase fresh produce of excellent quality and presentation at favorable prices.
The market offers the best of Ticino’s horticultural and fruit products and seasonal first fruits; delicatessen specialties prepared according to old homemade recipes and tasty cheeses from the valleys with good Ticino bread are on sale; all in a setting of seasonal flowers.
Alongside the joys of the table, other varied items are offered, from trinkets and clothes to hardware and the finest handicrafts, the latter of which are also partly made on site before the visitor’s curious eyes. The market has become a pleasant meeting place for the population, and many restaurateurs offer a good Ticino lunch at modest prices.
