Twice a week, the weekly market takes place in the heart of Schaffhausen's old town. Local vendors from the region provide the finest foods, vegetable seedlings, and floral arrangements, all sourced from Schaffhausen's agriculture.

The weekly market takes place every Tuesday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM and every Saturday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Vordergasse.

In 1999, 10 farming families from the Schaffhausen region decided to open a market hall in the old fire station in the heart of Schaffhausen. Following the motto "The countryside comes to the city," various farming families offer their diverse products three times a week at the Puure Märkt.

The traditional Spring Market annually attracts the people of Schaffhausen to the city center to admire the various stalls. At the numerous stands, goods of all kinds can be purchased: handicrafts, household items, jewelry, food, and spices – everything is included.

The Schaffhausen Christmas Market is one of the highlights of the Christmas season in Schaffhausen. The backdrop for this event is the largest cloister in Switzerland, the over 800-year-old Allerheiligen Cloister in Schaffhausen. The market extends from Vordergasse through Münstergasse to the Allerheiligen Monastery district.

The Märlistadt in Stein am Rhein is a popular meeting place for young and old, as well as for friends and acquaintances, during the Advent season. Enjoy drinking mulled wine, riding the free carousel, listening to musical performances, and fully experiencing the Advent season. All this and much more is on the agenda in Märlistadt in Stein am Rhein.

Every year, as part of the Märlistadt, the Medieval Market takes place at the St. Georgen Monastery in Stein am Rhein. Step into a world from over 500 years ago and experience how trade was conducted, daily tasks were carried out, and of course, Christmas was celebrated. The market's program is rounded off with stalls selling Christmas items and handcrafted products.

From spring to autumn, the flea market takes place every first Saturday of the month in Mosergarten in Schaffhausen. Set against the picturesque backdrop, you'll find treasures from the past, rarities, and unexpected finds. The atmosphere is filled with a mix of curiosity and a spirit of discovery. The stalls offer a diverse range of products – from vintage clothing and antiques to books, toys, and handicrafts.

The Medieval Market takes place every December as part of the Märlistadt.

The Schaffhausen Christmas Market takes place every year on a weekend in December.

The Puure Märkt takes place every Tuesday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Kirchhofplatz in Schaffhausen.

The Spring Market takes place every year on a Wednesday in April.
