The Outdoor Shopping Area of Geneva

Geneva's al fresco bazaars give a large range of proxies to the expansive galaxy that is the retail business; these also allow you to mix with the locals. Bargaining is frequently accepted for non-edible items.

Some of the outdoor shopping centers here are made of the Plaine de Plainpalais, which is the core external flea market in Geneva. This is where the local folk go to sell their aged and mostly costly merchandise-- be it records, paintings, antiques, necessary clothing or dish sets-- and is open on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The Boulevard Helvetique, on the other hand, is an outdoor farmer's market housing fresh vegetables and fruit from local farmers; it is open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings only. The Place du Molard is the daily flower market, while Place de la Fusterie is where you can find regional handicrafts from all of France and Switzerland and is open on Thursdays only. The Place de la Madeleine, meanwhile, is the book and clothes bazaar that opens only in spring and summer, while the Rue des Grottes is a in-style farmer's market here and also opens on Thursdays only.

Meanwhile, the Halles de Rive is a food market that displays bulks of gourmet Swiss, French and Italian delicacies. Lastly, the Place du Marche accessible local market is located in the central public square in Carouge and only opens on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
