Note: This is tagged as both “dog-friendly” and “no pets allowed” because dogs can’t enter the market, BUT the RSPCA runs a Puppy Parking service on the Salamanca Lawns. Volunteers look after your dog for a donation while you’re in the market, more info here.

Salamanca Market is a big, lively outdoor market with handmade crafts, local produce, food trucks, buskers, and everything in between. It runs every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 3 PM.

You don’t need more than a couple of hours here unless you’re shopping hard. We’d recommend going early to beat the crowds, and grabbing brekky or a coffee while you wander.
