"love this place. very authentic: both produce and the sellers. go there for the local veggies, fruits, pickles, eggs, milk and wine. the market consists of three parts: the covered central part (just skip the packaged euro produce) and go back for small farmers dairy (limited to milk, cottage cheese and couple basic soft cheeses), dry paprika ( highly recommended), and pickles. there is an open section on the left ( usually resellers) and a hidden one on the right. this is the best one in my opinion. just follow the row of old ladies selling their home produce from the ground and you will find another big section on of the market. good for home wine, pickles and local fruits and veggies. there is a lady selling great cheese from a local monastery."

"When you got to visit a city like this, the market is something you must see.
Odours, colors, people. A mix of sensorial experiences that will make your visit unique.
In this "green market" you can look at what the locals are basing on their cuisine."
