So many markets I’d never heard of – including in cities I’ve visited. I live in Europe and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been to a single one of these, so thank you for opening my eyes. There really is a special feel about markets. Even if it’s not always true, they tend to bring you closer to the products and to the artesans and farmers responsible for them… I’m always up for a good market visit!

And I think it is special fun to visit one as I travel in a foreign destination.

Thx for curating this wonderful list of markets. I always try and visit the local markets when I travel to establish a true sense of place and what is local to the environ.

I know what you mean. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit quite a few of these local markets, but there are some I have yet to experience.

I would add the Bac Ha market in northern Vietnam. It’s a standout both for the items on sale and because most of the vendors and shoppers are dressed in gorgeous traditional Hmong clothing. At the other extreme, the market in Rotterdam looks really interesting – I’m adding it to my list for my trip there next spring!

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures and enticing background for these local markets.

You’ve done a great job of capturing the reasons I love shopping at markets. I’ve never heard of the one in El Salvador but it sounds quite unique.

I absolutely love the Bangkok flower market, it looks like you could get some very beautiful flowers there!
