Many tourists enjoying their holiday in South Tyrol, would love to see the ‚real‘ side of it by discovering hidden parts of the land that are not found in tourism advertising. An example of such typical, authentic South Tyrolean places, are the weekly markets. One of these can be found in San Michele, Appiano. Every Tuesday the market is open, irrespective of wind or rain. We were also there!

Going for a stroll, bargaining, tasting… Visiting a market is a particular experience. The Saturday Market is one of the main events in the charming and vivid city of Bolzano.

A typical farmers’ market which brings all our senses in harmony is the one at Caldaro sul Lago. We joined the hustle and bustle between the smell of cheese and fresh fruits and tried to draw secret South Tyrolean recipes from the stall-keepers.
