What makes this market special

The baroque Florianibrunnen column stands among the stalls and coffee houses around invite you to warm up. If you want to escape the crowds at the cathedral, walk two lanes further.

  • Homemade things rather than souvenirs
  • Perfect combined with a detour into Getreidegasse
