Why it can be busy

On Sundays, St. Michael's Square is a lively place with many visitors. The market's limited opening hours can lead to crowds, especially at peak times. It is wise to take this hustle and bustle into account when planning your visit.

Helpful tips for smart parking

  • Arriving early: By arriving early, you can avoid the crowds and find a parking space closer to the market.
  • Alternative parking spaces: Consider parking in nearby streets or larger car parks and walk to the market.

  • Peripheral parking: Park at the edge of the city and use public transport to get to the center.
  • Reserve a parking space: Consider pre-booking a parking space via platforms such as SparkSpot to secure a spot and save time.

Departure and arrival tips
