- German
auf: focused on the fact that you literally enter a square, an open space or field. It literally means "above", like "auf dem Tisch" (on the table)
zum: more focused on the target or goal, you move "towards" the market.
Thus, "auf" only works in very limited situations, for example with playing fields or sports arenas, actual markets in a sense of "fair" or maybe battlefields.
"zum" can be used in a much broader sense, in spoken german you can even use it to express "visiting someone" (Ich gehe zum Karl/I'm visiting Karl).
