Markets and crafts

The most genuine Ticino


Vivid colours, tasty flavours and a cheerful atmosphere: these are the essential features of a Ticino market. Taking place in the squares and little streets of the old towns-centres, these markets are just great to stroll around in.


Discover traditional food delicacies, as well as products hand-crafted in diverse materials, including ceramics, wood, wool, felt and straw, all with that exclusive, individual touch.
