Clear comparison

Bern

Canton of Bern · Switzerland

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Bern station, enter the old town along Spitalgasse and reach Waisenhausplatz. Continue on foot towards Zytglogge, Kramgasse and Münsterplatz: the markets have separate calendars, so the squares remain the route’s landmarks while the open stalls change.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Einsteinhaus, Kramgasse 49, is a small indoor museum stop on the route, with its own admission and hours. The arcades provide shelter along the walk, but do not make the entire itinerary covered.

Sauris di Sopra

Province of Udine · Friuli-Venezia Giulia · Italy

Admission and costs
Admission to the market is free on 5, 6 and 8 December. Purchases and food are separate; workshops and cultural visits follow their own conditions. The nativity trail has a separate calendar, 5 December–6 January.
Getting there
Udine station is a transport gateway to Carnia. The Sauris portal identifies bus connections with Udine, Tolmezzo and Ampezzo; the final destination for this event is Sauris di Sopra, rather than the lake or Sauris di Sotto.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Haus van der Zahre Ethnographic Centre in Sauris di Sopra documents local culture inside a traditional building. Exhibitions have their own opening arrangements; free market admission does not automatically include a museum visit.
