Via San Marco street market

The Via San Marco street market, or in Italian the Mercato di Via San Marco, is located in the beautiful and posh Brera district at the Via San Marco. The market has a diverse offering of goods, but mostly stands out for its central location. To be more precise, the street market is between the intersections with Via Ancona and Via Montebello.

This market consists of a long street of stalls which are divided into different sections. There is a farmer’s section with all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat and some stalls with household articles. At the clothing and fashion section you will both find cheap products as well as branded fashion items, but clothing stalls are especially well known for its well-priced cashmere. If you are more interested in niche items then you will be happy to know there are also some stalls that offer other products like handcrafts, second hand items and antiques. As this market is in a posh neighborhood it can be more difficult to negotiate with the vendors, but you can always give it a try. You can also easily combine a visit to this market with a stroll through the Brera district.

The Via San Marco market takes place on Monday and Thursday from about 7:30 till 14:00. As the Via San Marco is located between metro stations Lanza (metro line 2), Moscova (metro line 2) and Turati (metro line 3), you have plenty of options to choose from and you can simply pick which metro station is the most convenient for you. We from Meet The Cities prefer to go to metro station Lanza as we enjoy taking a stroll along Via Madonnina with its beautiful architecture and design shops, followed by the Via Brera with its famous galleries, such as the Pinacoteca di Brera.
