Best time to visit
Morning visits on weekends offer the freshest picks and a lively ambiance with vendors eager to chat. Late afternoons during weekdays are quieter for a more relaxed stroll.
Budget tips
No entry fee keeps your wallet happy, and bargaining is rare but watching for seasonal sales on fruit can score great deals. Bring reusable bags to avoid extra costs and support eco-friendliness.
