The Saturday market in Bellinzona, which takes place all year round, attracts not only locals but also visitors from all over with its tradition. A real highlight where locals meet for a quick catch-up, tourists enjoy the southern lightness of being, bargain hunters go in search of a special something, and gourmets visit in hope of making their next culinary discovery. 

Popular products that are on offer include sun-ripened fruit grown in Ticino, cheese specialities, sausages made according to traditional recipes, Ticino breads, and a wide range of items for use in the home, in the garden and for leisure activities. Artisans and craft practitioners also put their best products on display, with some even being made right in front of visitors.
