Loved the walking tour that I took in Freiburg with Viking cruises. The Münsterplatz Food Market…read morewas one of our first stops and was also the landmark to go back to the bus at the end of our free time. It is located next to the Freiburg Cathedral. This marketplace had so many local vendors. Fresh fruits and veggies. Coffee. Baked goods. Coffee. Honey. Sandwiches. Pastries. Beautiful flowers. And of course, pretzels. A nice way to start and end our day in Freiburg.

Every day (except Sunday), Freiburg has a fabulous open-air market in the Münsterplatz ( the plaza…read morearound the big cathedral ) The biggest and nicest market day is Saturday! You'll see local goodies like honey, cheeses, breads & baked goods. There are also flowers, fruits, veggies & food stalls everywhere the eyes looks - colorful, fresh & one of Freiburg's "must-indulge" attractions for sure. We didn't know about this market & had just eaten a huge breakfast at our hotel, so there was no tasty treat indulgence however, we did go crazy at a particular stall selling local honey Blue Cornflower & Rapeseed Flower honeys were ours for the taking. Also tried an Oak Tree honey that was interesting as well & had we had the luggage space, I could have gone totally crazy as she had all kinds of honey products like soaps & candles in addition to outrageously scrumptious raw honey Farmers' stalls are piled high with fresh produce and the cheese stalls were too tempting w/ their local yet diverse selections. Food stalls see tourists & locals alike, lining up to buy meaty, grilled sausages or freshly baked rolls & sweet buns. My best advice to you is come early, come hungry, & bring lots of cash!

There is no farmer's market remotely near where I am. Edit. Found the market despite Apple Maps best efforts. It is excellent, huge with the best of Alsace for sale. Worth the effort but use a paper map.

A wonderful covered market with many traditional Alsacian delights…read more They have free bathrooms. Very picturesque and some great vegetables, cheese, pastries, etc.

This is the main foodie market hall in Colmar, and it's small but filled with fantastaic offerings…read more I never pass up the chance to visit a good food hall in Europe, and this one didn't disappoint. The Marche Couvert is located in the middle of old town in a lovely building. It's free to enter, so at least go in to look around even if you don't plan on buying any food. Inside, you'll find a mix of local produce, cheeses, meats, wines, and a few prepared-food stands that make it really tempting to grab a bite on the spot. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with vendors who are generally friendly and happy to chat (especially if you show a little curiosity about what they're selling). It's also a nice break from the more touristy streets outside. It's still very popular, but in a more relaxed way. I was enamored by the fresh pasta stand, especially because the proprietors were speaking Italian. I couldn't pass this up, so I ordered a small portion of homemade cheese tortellini with tomato sauce. Within 10 minutes, my snack was ready (and it was delicious). Hubby elected for some oysters with beer, and enjoyed them. There isn't a lot of seating inside, so be aware if you need a place to rest your feet. Some of the larger stalls had seating if you ordered food or beverages from them (but it was still nearly impossible to get a seat). This market isn't worth a trip just to Colmar to visit, but I'd consider it a must-do for any foodie who is in the area.
