Visitor comments
- "Like an open air museum. A huge variety of fresh vegetable, fruits and fish. Clean and colorful. A must visit for all the open air markets fans!!" - Trip Advisor
- "I'm so glad I visited, I got scarves at 3 euros, shoes at 8 euros... the atmosphere was good, takes up 2 hours!" - Trip Advisor
- "My family greatly enjoyed getting out of the tourist areas of Italy and seeing how the Italians really live. This is the place for that. Go for the experience and see how they buy their fresh fish, fruits, salamis and vegetables for their week. We picked up some cheap scarves as souvenirs. Would visit again." - Trip Advisor
