Farmers markets were organized in Frankfurt since its earliest days, but the rising demand for higher hygiene asked for a more regulated operation. That’s why the city council decided to build a market hall in 1871, and eight years later, the Neo-Renaissance Kleinmarkethalle was born. It covers 1500 square meters and is located on Hassengasse street in Altstadt, close to the city’s most popular shopping street.  Every day, you can join the locals in exploring more than 150 stalls, where you can primarily buy local fresh produce, such as vegetables, baked goods, sausages and cheese.  Some of the traders also offer a variety of exotic goods imported from all over the world.

If you’re keen to try some of the famous German specialties right on the spot, you can taste prepared meals such as the famous Frankfurt’s “Green Sauce”. Otherwise, you can grab a snack and sit in the onsite wine bar. There is also a restaurant in Schlemmer Garden in front of the market hall, that’s especially interesting on Saturdays when it serves as a meeting place for both local foodies and other tourists. Although there are huge shopping centers just a minute away, Kleinmarkthalle is a perfect opportunity for those who want to enjoy a more authentic experience and is a particularly good option for rainy days. 

How to find a gym with day pass access in Kleinmarkthalle?

Kleinmarkthalle is conveniently located in the center of Frankfurt, so there are many gym options nearby. If you’re only visiting the city for a short while, one of the best options would be the PRIME TIME FITNESS Main Tower, that sits in one of the Frankfurt’s tallest buildings and offers some of the best views of the city. It’s located only a short 10 minute walk from the market hall. If you’re worried about language barriers or overpaying, you can book a day pass through the TrainAway app and show it at the reception of the gym when you want to work out.
