Named after Saint Gall, every year, by tradition, the “Gallusmarkt” shopkeepers’ market takes place on the streets in and around the pedestrianised zone. From about 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., some 300 market stalls offer visitors everything they could need for home, garden and professional use, as well as clothes, toys, pottery, flowers and much more.
