If you’re looking for a spot in a new city where you can experience it from a locals’ perspective, food markets are a good place to start. Here’s a couple of reasons why you should pay them a visit during each of your trips.

Traditional Foods

If you enjoy trying new cuisines during your travels, you’ll find an abundance of traditional foods at every market. They are the best spot to taste local flavors and usually offer a better selection than any other place.

Mingling with the Locals

Visiting a market in a new city will make you feel a little bit less like a tourist. If you opt for one of the smaller and less crowded markets, you’ll be able to observe the way the city usually functions, getting a full insight you can’t get anywhere else.

Great Architecture

Some of the markets are worth visiting even if you’re not planning to buy or eat anything. They’re located in beautiful buildings that are a true marvel of architecture, and look equally stunning on the inside.
