And no one should miss a visit to Frankowitsch deli, an institution that specializes in open-face sandwiches topped with spicy salami, shrimp salad, pickled trout, and more. Come for lunch and people watch: Students and suited business folk alike will pack this spot.

Located in Lendplatz, the Bauernmarkt is one of over a dozen farmers markets that spring up regularly within the Graz city limits. Although some type of open-air market has been held in the Lendplatz since at least the 18th century, a true farmers’ market wasn’t established here until 1945. Open daily from 6am to 1pm, visitors lucky enough to have access to a kitchen can stock up on fresh local produce, meat, cheese, bread and much more.

Called the “Capital of Delight,” it is one of Europe’s most baroque cities, and it has its own sumptuous cuisine and dining scene that includes daily farmer’s markets—the oldest is Kaiser-Josef-Platz Markt near the opera—where more than 350 local farmers sell everything from indigenous fruits and vegetables and wines to prepared wursts, breads and pastries and cheeses. Here you’ll find Murodner potatoes, Kernöl pumpkin seed oil (widely used in the cooking here) and local beers like Reininghaus Edel Pils and Puntigamer Lager. In the fall the city celebrates the Graz Truffle Festival, with seven varieties offered.

Sunflowers, pumpkin seeds, freshly baked bread, tasty ham and cheese, juicy apples and brilliant red tomatoes – images from a farmers’ market in Graz.

There is a market every day (Monday - Saturday), but on Saturdays practically all of Graz drops by to fill their baskets, with the option to round off with refreshments with friends at one of the popular snack bars there.

We wander through the oldest and largest market in Graz, the Kaiser-Josef market on Kaiser-Josef-Platz Square opposite the superb Graz Opera House. Farmers arise at a sparrow's you-know-what to pluck their home-grown goodness, before setting up at the market. We buy local Isabella grapes, strawberries and ask about a peculiar lettuce with faint red edges.
