Mercato Centrale Torino
About
Mercato Centrale Torino is one of Italy’s most buzzing food hubs, nestled in the heart of the historic Porta Palazzo piazza. Spread over 4,500 square metres with three levels, the market opens every day for families, food lovers and curious travellers seeking a taste of local life. On Monday the market limits its hours to a quick 8 AM‑4 PM, but from Tuesday to Thursday visitors are welcome from 8 AM until 10:30 PM. The weekend crowds arrive earlier: on Friday from 8 AM to 11:30 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to midnight, and Sunday again from 8 AM to 10:30 PM. The open-air design, combined with a tasteful interior of 28 artisan stalls, makes it the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch or a late‑night snack. Beyond the stalls, the market’s two terraces offer spectacular views of the city and host a rotating calendar of events – from wine tastings and live music to themed festivals such as the Korean ‘Daebak’ festival or the Bavarian ‘Merkto–Brewfest’. All the while the ‘Zerofila’ service lets guests skip the lines and enjoy premium food at no extra cost, underlining the market’s commitment to a seamless and free‑entry experience.
