Wochenmarkt Bürkliplatz
This is a great local market at the top of Bahnhofstrasse, right near the lake. It is affectionately known as the Bürklimäärt by Zurich residents. The market features dozens of stalls from local farmers with everything from spectacular cut flowers to fresh fruit and produce. So, if you want to grab some seriously local food this is the place to come.

Another great local farmers market is held on Saturdays on the Gemüsebrücke, right in the heart of Zurich. This has been happening for hundreds of years and is in fact the reason the bridge is named the “Vegetable Bridge”.

Oerlikon Farmer’s Market
One of the larger and more iconic weekly farmer’s markets in Zurich, the Oerlikon market is one I have visited dozens of times. For me, it is the perfect place to find local farmers’ fruit and vegetables for your weekly meals, or even just grab something fresh or unique on your way past (if you are in the area).
Address: Marktplatz Oerlikon 8050, Zürich (Google Maps)
Opening Hours: Wednesday 6.00am – 11.00am, Saturday 6.00am – 12.00pm
Getting There: Walking distance from Oerlikon train station

Wochenmarkt Helvetiaplatz
This is another unexpected place for a market, right in the heart of Zurich’s Langstrasse area. Although, having also been to their yearly Velo Börse, I find it is the perfect square for such activities, as it is huge.
You will find everything from freshly cut flowers, fruit and vegetables, to local cheeses, meat and more.

Brupbimärt – Wiedikon
Wiedikon is a great place to head for some unique shopping in Zurich, so it is no surprise they have a Saturday market too. Full of local specialities and fun stalls, the Brupbimärt is open most of the year but takes a break over most of winter and in the peak of summer.

Rosenhof Market
The Rosenhof Market is tucked away in the Niederdorf district of Zurich. So, if you are doing a walking tour of town, or just want a break from shopping, it’s the perfect spot to go.
This is not your average farmer’s market, but more the usual random products and knick-knacks kind of market you find in most towns.
