Piazza delle Erbe / Obstplatz
Obstplatz
A century-old open-air fruit market, filled daily with South Tyrolean apples, grapes, chestnuts, and mountain cured meats and cheeses.
Piazza delle Erbe is Bolzano's most lively corner and has been a marketplace since the Middle Ages. Today, open-air stalls sell local fruit, vegetables, Speck (smoked ham), cheese, bread and flowers every day except Sunday. At the north end stands the 17th-century Neptune Fountain, surrounded by old taverns and delicatessens where you can buy a Speck bread roll or stand and drink a glass of local white wine. It connects to the west end of Via dei Portici.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat approx. 08:00–19:00 (Saturday mornings are busiest)
