 The market in the city centre |
Corso Palestro Via Garibaldi Turin 10122 Italy |
This is one of the few markets in the centre. To find it, go to the end of Via Garibaldi in the direction of Piazza Statuto where it crosses Viale Palestro, a large 19th c. street. The stalls selling clothing and household objects bring life each morning to one of the loveliest parts of the city. If you are fed up with looking at shop windows, you may find something original here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh fruit |
Via Bruno, 181 Turin 10154 Italy |
Fresh fruit for breakfast, earlier than the fruiterer can offer. The markets in Via Bruno are an open air warehouse that supplies most of the fruiterers in the city. Fortunately, the goods are also sold retail so that the private individual can take home teh very freshest fruit and vegetables. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great for typical Piedmontese products |

Each year in December a very special market is set up in the centre of Turin. The Mercatino delle Erbe is showcasing and selling many typical Piedmontese products such as hams, cheeses, honey and wine. This could be a great chance to pick up some of those original Christmas gifts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

High Class Market |

The most colourful market in Turin |
Piazza della Repubblica Turin, Turin 10122 Italy |
A few steps away from the Royal Palace and the Palatine gates, is the Porta Palazzo market in the Piazza della Repubblica. It is the most characteristic market in Turin, and takes its name from a disused railway station. It is a place that must be visited to see how Turin is changing. Apart from fresh fruits and vegetables, and the best prices in Turin, produce from all over the world can be found here. Next to Chinese supermarkets, Morrocan hairdressers and Indian video rentals, you will find colourful stalls of oriental spices, exotic fruits, aromatic herbs, and Piedmontese specialities. The people who visit are young; the stall holders polite, helpful and ready to chat with everyone. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh fish market |
Corso Ferrara, 46 Turin 10151 Italy +39 11 442 7809 |
Fish of all types and to suit every pocket! But above all it is always fresh and good quality. The Ittico market is communal property, and therefore is normally only open to wholesale buyers. But every Wednesday and Saturday, thanks to the Comune of Turin, it is open to private buyers. Fill up your shopping bags! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bargain time |
Giardino Martini Via Duchessa Jolanda angolo via Principi d'Acaja Turin 10138 Italy |
To get to this market, ask for Piazza Benefica which is the name the market is known by. Located in one of the better off neighbourhoods, the market reflects this fact with the goods it sells. You will find designer dresses (perhaps worn once and forgotten by one of the wealthy), velvet jackets, silk shirts, jewellery and even antiques. The difficulty of finding the market is rewarded by the surprises you will find though a little retro in taste. Review © 2007, Wcities |
