What makes this market special

If you want to end the Advent with a view and a beer, this is the spot, and it opens earlier than most, in mid-November.

🍽️ My Favourite Dish

Raclette roll

„An oven-warm roll with raclette freshly scraped off the wheel: the cheese melts onto the bread in soft, wide ribbons and strings on the first bite, with the view over the illuminated Old Town alongside."
