Basel Markets

The City of Basel is characterised by its numerous attractive city and district markets. Their high quality, freshness and great customer service create a friendly atmosphere and make our markets something very special.

City and district markets

Basel City Market

The Basel city market on the Marktplatz is the largest and most traditional fresh produce market in the city. Almost 90 per cent of the fruit and vegetables on offer at the city market come from the immediate vicinity of Basel. This guarantees not only fresh, seasonal goods, but also short travel distances.

Gourmet Market

The Street food market is a gourmet market held at Marktplatz. It offers a wide variety of delicious foods and beverages. The Marktplatz transforms into a meeting place for anyone who wants to stop by for a quick bite or a spontaneous drink.

Details

New Goods Market

The Barfüsserplatz is located in the city centre and surrounded by many first-rate shops and cosy bistros. The new market is the ideal place for errands of any kind: jewellery, handicrafts from all over the world, decoration, delicatessens and clothing are just a few examples of what is on offer. There are also places where you can grab a snack or drink.

Barfüsserplatz Flea Market

The Wednesday flea market at the Barfüsserplatz is held twice a month during the week. Against the scenic backdrop of the old town, its range of rarities and treasures make it a real find for all market-lovers.

Petersplatz Flea Market

The flea market in Petersplatz is a popular Saturday meeting place for all those who love second-hand goods. From fine antiques to dungarees for the little ones, there is everything you need for daily life - at extremely competitive prices of course.

Neighbourhood Markets

The Matthäus market on the Matthäusplatz.

The city of Basel is characterised by its numerous districts, all of which have their own character and a (multi-) cultural, urban and industrial mix that together form an exciting as well as harmonious city. The district markets help to create meeting places and present the district in an open and friendly way.

Other Markets

Die Markthalle von innen mit Ständen und Leuten

The markets in the market hall, in Riehen and on private property enrich city life just as much as those organised by the Canton of Basel-Stadt. The neighbourhood flea markets organised by volunteers also offer exciting insights into private homes and backyards.
