When you enter the square, the first thing that catches your eye is the colorful city hall. But this place also plays an important role in the everyday life of the people of Basel: the market, which takes place every weekday, is a nice addition to the grocery stores in the city center. Gourmets will find many delicacies and specialties from the region, Switzerland and from all over the world here.

Beautiful market square, which is of course dominated by the impressive town hall. Cafés, bistros, brasseries and more invite you to linger and observe.

The market square is dominated by the imposing red town hall. On the marketplace itself, fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers are offered on weekdays.
