Innsbruck · Culinary highlights at the market hall

Innsbruck’s market hall has always been known for fresh, regional products. From Monday to Saturday between 7.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m., you have the chance to buy regional products and enjoy culinary highlights. At the market hall, local farmers display exquisite products and enable a traditional shopping experience. You get local quality and freshness rather than goods which have travelled thousands of miles. Enjoy a break on your own during a stressful day or show your loved ones that vegetables and fruit do not grow at the supermarket. Tyrolean farmers bring products from the garden and the field straight to the market hall; there are plenty of tales to tell on this topic. It is possible to shop in the market hall the whole week through. Here, you can enjoy shopping for regional produce should you wish to reflect on traditional values and enjoy the highest level of quality.
