    Spazio Multiculturale

    Set up in an attempt to clear central Florence of some of its many street vendors, and put a lid on the conflict that had arisen between them, the police and local residents, this ethnic market on the banks of the Arno is now the place to come for an orderly browse of all those African carvings, North African fabrics and similar objects you might find in your local souq.

    Fresh Produce Market

    On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, the main square Piazza del Duomo and its surrounding streets become a sea of blue awnings and jostling shoppers as Pistoia hosts a lively market. The town's fresh produce market occupies Piazza della Sala, west of the cathedral, and is situated close to the helpful tourist office .

    Spreads all around Fortezza Medicea and seeps towards the Stadio Comunale. One of Tuscany’s largest markets, it’s great for foodstuffs, cheap clothing or just aimless browsing.
