Every small town and city has its own mercato settimanale with stands of fruit, vegetables, local delicacies and handcrafted pieces. The markets are mostly on or around the main piazza and one of the best moments to dive into the local life. Here is a list of local markets around Lago di Garda. Most markets are from 09:00 in the morning until 13:00. Keep in mind that it’s best to skip your breakfast and head on to the market early. Getting hungry? Take a caffé e brioche con crema between the locals.
