LEICESTER MARKET

Leicester Market is one of the best tourist attractions in Leicester that comes across as a refreshing change from the city's tourist-infested malls. It is the largest outdoor market in Europe and a great place to buy meat, vegetables, and homeware items. The market operates six days a week and remains closed every Sunday.

If you want to stock up on local produce and everyday items, there is no better place than Leicester Market. Once you enter Leicester Market, you'll be immersed in one of Leicester's most picturesque scenes, with small boutique shops and beautifully decorated house facades. From foods and vegetables to household accessories, local bric-a-brac, and authentic food items, this market provides you with everything you'll need on your holiday.

Behind the Corn Exchange in the market, you'll find many indoor stalls selling meat, fresh fish, and cheese. You'll have to hunt amidst all the jumble to find your favorite item, but bargain hard, and you might get a vintage gem at a throwaway price. The buzzing sound of the market and a wide range of items on offer will keep every visitor amused.
