- Visit on a weekday if possible to avoid the largest crowds and enjoy a more relaxed shopping experience.
- Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, to find the best selection of unique handmade items before they sell out.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on any treasures.
- Check the specific weekend dates for any special events or performances that might be scheduled in conjunction with the market.
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be browsing under the arcades and potentially walking around the historic area.
