Supermarket Corner

Near T1 security, Supermarket Corner covers last-minute basics

Supermarket Corner sits airside in Terminal T1 after security, so you can grab groceries and snacks without risking a re-check. It’s a small footprint, more like a compact minimarket than a full grocery store, but it fills the gaps that duty free leaves open.

Pricing runs closer to city supermarket levels than typical airport markups, so bottled water, soft drinks, and basic snacks don’t feel like a shakedown. You’ll see standard Italian brands on the shelves rather than tourist-only packaging, which helps if you’re just trying to stock up for a 2–3 hour flight.

Stock skews practical: grab-and-go sandwiches, chocolate bars, crisps, biscuits, and big 1.5L bottles of still and sparkling water that are handy for families or longer connections. You can also find simple travel extras like tissues, chewing gum, and sometimes single-serve coffee drinks in the fridge case.

Fresh food turnover depends on time of day; mornings and early afternoons usually look better than late evenings, when the sandwich and pastry choices thin out. If you land on a late Ryanair or Wizz Air arrival and connect forward, expect more packaged snacks than proper food.

Payment is straightforward with cards and contactless widely accepted, so you don’t need leftover euro coins to shop here. One last tip: buy your large water bottles and snacks at Supermarket Corner before walking down to the more remote gates in T1, where options shrink and prices creep up.
