Food Markets: In the Belly of the City

One of Europe's biggest open-air food market, Turin's Porta Palazzo, is a vibrant core of fresh smells, bright colours, and lovely people.

Nestled in an impressive three-levelled building, picturesque Budapest's central indoor market is not only one of the largest but also one of the most elegant food destinations in Europe.

With more than one hundred food and vintage stalls plus numerous restaurants, the popular Naschmarkt--Vienna's vast 16th-century food market--is a colourful culinary destination.

Located on a hill in the city of Lyon, the neighborhood of La Croix-Rousse (Red Cross), is the town's coolest district, and one of the best itineraries of taste.

According to many, La Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, or simply, La Boqueria, is the best public food market in the Ciudad Vieja and a tourist's ultimate destination in Barcelona's La Rambla.
