Best time to visit
Late morning on Saturdays brings the liveliest atmosphere with vendors in full swing and a bustling crowd. Spring and summer are perfect for enjoying the market outdoors.
Budget tips
Entry is free as the market is open-air and public. Save money by trying small bites from multiple stalls instead of a full meal at one place.

Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be on your feet exploring for a couple of hours.
- Catch the colorful murals in the morning when lighting is best for photos.
- Skip weekday visits as many stalls are closed, focusing your trip on Saturdays or Sundays.
- Bring cash: some vendors don’t accept cards, especially for small purchases.
