Delle Erbe Market, Bologna
About this hidden gem
Mercato delle Erbe is a covered food market in the centre of Bologna where you can find local produce and quick bites all in one place.
Why you really want to visit this place
Mercato delle Erbe is a lovely blend of a traditional market and a modern food hall. During the day, you’ll stroll past stalls selling vegetables, fruit, cheese, meat and fresh pasta – exactly as you’d expect in Italy. Later in the day, part of the market transforms into a place where you can eat and drink: from a simple lunch to a quick aperitivo. It’s less static and crowded than some other food halls, but that’s precisely what makes it feel local and lively. Ideal if you fancy a quick stroll, want to sample something and then move on.
