Porta Palazzo Food Market
In operation since 1835, Porta Palazzo food
market has
always been a beloved
spot for locals. Over the last years, this
picturesque market has become a popular
attractions for visitors.
The stalls are mounted very early in
the morning every day of the week except Sunday.
In fact, everything can be found here:
flowers, clothing, shoes, household products, etc., basic
and reasonable items, but for food, it is a great place
due to the great variety and the freshness of
the goods on offer.
Saturday is definitely the busiest
day: besides the locals many French visitors bustle along
the market, since the French border is only one hour drive
from Turin.
