]]>If you are a foodie and have stumbled upon a city full of markets or food shops and restaurants, take your time and go on a fascinating tour of the local food with a local guide.
As part of the tour, you can often take advantage of the extensive knowledge of the market acquired by your tour guide, who had probably spent priceless hours exploring it.
In addition, on such tours, you will often experience tastings of authentic food offered as part of the tour, which would not have been offered to you otherwise.
Some tours offer different experiences in addition to tastings, such as making granita in the markets of Sicily or grinding spices in some Mediterranean destinations.
Guided tours are also an opportunity to get to know other foodies from around the world, and exchange experiences during the tour and get recommendations for places to eat in the city you are visiting.

]]>Valencia’s Mercat Central, a public food market which was built between 1914 and 1928 smack dab in the center of the city, is both an architecture and a food lover’s paradise. Why?
Well, this market is one of the most stunning examples of Valencian Art Nouveau, a turn of the 20th century architectural style which put a regional twist on the larger movement which was occurring throughout Europe.
Multi-colored tile motifs, iron and glass, and raised domes are the most striking elements which visitors to this 8,000 square meter beauty will find.
In addition to its size and architectural beauty, the food itself sold within the market is also worth checking out. Vendors sell local products such as fresh tomatoes and vegetables, seafood caught in the nearby Mediterranean Sea, and dishes containing the local variety of rice.
Whether you’re a food lover, an architecture lover, or simply someone who is looking for something to do on a trip to Valencia, you absolutely cannot miss this stunning site.

]]>Revolution Avenue is walking distance from the border and is one of the top tourist destinations, but if you’re looking for something more local, try the traditional markets. The Mercado Hidalgo is the most centrally located and has fresh fruit, local cheeses, and other amazing foods all for great prices.
The Tijuana Cultural Center is one of the most visited destinations in the city. It has lots of options for entertainment including an IMEX theater, an aquarium, art galleries, and concerts. In addition, the Tijuana History Museum tells the natural and urban history of the region.
Baja California, the area where Tijuana is located, is known for its beautiful beaches. Although many people prefer to go farther south for natural beauty, there are many beautiful spots in the city limits as well. The backdrop of the busy city combined with the vast ocean makes it a great place to swim, hang out, or grab a drink.

]]>Gold Reef City is a unique experience because the complex is a 24-hour casino inside an amusement park. To top it all off, it was built on top of an old gold mine, which was the reason people came to settle Johannesburg back in 1886 in the first place. With great rides and gambling, along with traditional African and historical experiences, Gold Reef City has something for everyone.
You can’t talk about South Africa without its apartheid past, and this museum is an incredible place to learn about it. Located right across the street from Gold Reef City, you can do both in one day, or stay at the hotel and come back the next day. Artifacts, footage, and loads of information will take you through all the events of 20th century South Africa.
A great place to spend your Saturday, this new food market has some of the freshest food in town. Local farmers and butchers have shops here and you can try different traditional foods or have a drink on the beautiful upper terrace overlooking the city.

]]>One of the best ways to truly experience Fiji’s exotic beaches is by visiting several islands. While pre-booked tourist boat trips and local flights can be pricey, try going to the port and get on board a local boat, or even a ferryboat, it is a genuine and unique experience.
While taxis are aimed at resort tourists and are quite expensive, taking the local busses is very cheap and is often a great experience. They typically go all around the island for the price of a ticket and can provide a very chill introduction to the local scenery.
If you can, eat like a local. This will also make your trip all the more authentic. Go around the markets and look at the unique fruits, vegetables, and spices available. The vendors will often be happy to share tips on how to cook what they sell. Eat at little shops that offer “special fried rice” and buy snacks at roadside stalls.
