About Loulé Saturday Markets
The historical Loulé indoor market is open everyday day except Sunday but it really comes to life on Saturday when the farmers’ and gypsy markets are held. It really is worth visiting Loulé on a Saturday morning, the indoor markets is one of the top markets in the Algarve attracting tourists and visitors from all over the region.
Locals visit the 29 shops and 90 stalls to purchase fresh fish, seafood, vegetables and other regional produce. The neo-arab architecture and location make this a very popular venue and a ‘must-see’ for tourists visiting the town.
There are 3 distinct markets on Saturdays in Loulé:
- Indoor or Municipal Market (town centre): Everyday except Sunday – The Loulé Municipal Market is an authentic Portuguese market where locals shop everyday and one of the most beautiful indoor markets in the Algarve. The market has significant historical value and is an important landmark in Loulé. The Farmers Market is held on the adjacent roads on Saturdays
- Farmers´ Market (just outside the municipal market): Saturdays only
- Gypsy Market (west Loulé 15 min walk from indoor market): Saturdays only – The Loulé Gypsy Market is a short walk from the indoor market, traditional cobbled streets of Loulé and castle. It is a typical Algarve outdoor fleamarket where you can buy linen, shoes, handbags, leather goods and cork items. If you love to haggle and are looking for some cheap knock offs you will probably love it. If you’re looking for a cultural experience we suggest giving the gypsy market a miss and going straight to the Loulé Indoor Market.
Opening Times:
- Loulé Municipal Market is located in the center of town, not to be confused with the weekly Loulé Gypsy Market (different location). This beautiful historical building is 112 years old and houses the charming indoor market, opens everyday except Sunday and some public holidays.
