Stora Saluhallen market hall

The Stora Saluhallen was completed somewhere between 1888 and 1889, and was described at this time as “the first major building in this country to be constructed exclusively of stone, iron and glass”. Shortly after the building was completed, a rental auction was started for the traders who wanted a place in the new market hall. The interest was enormous. Speculators jostled, puffed up their chests and elbowed their way through the crowds to bid on one of the 92 stalls.

Today, all corners of the world are represented among the forty shops and restaurants found here. You can buy various delicacies, spices, coffee, cheese, just enjoy the atmosphere or eat in one of the restaurants. Popular spots in Stora Saluhallen are, for example, Bar Bulot, Hasselsson’s Macklucka, Wine Mechanics or Kåges Hörna.
