Graz has about twenty farmers' markets, and the one on the Kaiser-Josef-Platz, beside the Opera, is the best known: farmers from the surrounding area bring Styrian purple beans, apples, pumpkin-seed oil, farmhouse bread, bacon, smoked sausage, homemade cakes and flowers. It is open Monday to Saturday from 6:00 to 13:00; go early, because by mid-morning they start packing up. The other big market is the one on the Lendplatz, across the river, with the same hours and bars that also open on Sunday.
