We went on a Saturday morning. Lots to see. Very interesting & fun to shop but so crowded you couldn't step without running into people. So be prepared. But still a fun place to visit & we would go again!

Good shopping but unluckily we went there on Monday and it was really quite... Best to visit on weekends...

You can spend all day here as the market is huge, and it has all kinds of items from antiques to souvenirs to food and so much more. There are plenty of places... More
