Nice place to stop by especially during the cold weather. Lots of shops with regional items made by artisanal artist. There are a couple of restaurants there as well but when I went most of them were under renovation so I was unable to delve in deeper. Perhaps next time but definitely worth a visit

The Market makes a great place to duck out of the Sixteen Hundreds for a moment and enjoy a beer served in a modern bar or shop for a gift. It's a great place to warm up and use a proper loo with out some proprietor giving the third degree. The Cafe of Arts & Brewski understand the universal language of hospitality.
