Ballaro Market

This is Palermo's bustling historic open-air street market where you'll find an amazing array of exotic vegetables and fruit, meat, cheese, tantalizing street food, and goods from both Italy and North Africa. While each of the four historic quarters of Palermo have their own market, the Ballaro is the most famous.

Viktualienmarkt

This lovely market dates from 1807 when the town's market outgrew Marienplatz and moved to the square between Heiliggeist-Kirche and Frauenstrasse.

Oxbow Public Market

This place in downtown Napa is a true market. Offering a variety of restaurants and shops you can graze your way through Northern California fare. Some of the best places to eat include Kitchen Door and Hog Island Oyster Co. Grab a local sour beer at the Fieldwork Brewing Company, coffee at Ritual Coffee, and ice cream from Three Twins.

Covered Market (Marche Couvert)

Albi's market is located in an Art Nouveau building set on a pretty square. It has a nice selection of French produce, meats, and fish and also offers pastries, wines, beers, jams and cakes. It's a great place to grab picnic or breakfast things.

Sarlat Market

The biggest market of the week is on Wednesday mornings and all day Saturday. Sarlat has hosted a huge market since the Middle Ages and still does.

La Boqueria Market

Set on a side street off of Las Ramblas, this market has been in existence in one form or another since 1200. It's a great place to grab lunch or just peruse tempting fruit, fish, meat, cheese, and local Catalan products.

St. Antoine Market

Lyon's most popular outdoor market dating from 1910 is open every day (though biggest on the weekends) and is the perfect place to do all of your food shopping.

Mercado de San Miguel

This historic building from 1916 is the city's oldest market hall and offers a selection of produce, tapas, wine, and pretty much anything else food-wise you can think of. Make yourself a nice lunch from the cheeses, olives, and tapas and finish it off with draft vermouth or sangria.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

The largest market in Thailand, the Chatuchak market is a seemingly endless maze of temporary stalls and more permanent shops that sell almost anything you could possibly imagine. There are all the typical Thailand souvenirs you’ll see throughout the country, but there are also flowers, dishes, clothes, books, watches, luggage, and even exotic animals.

Ben Thanh Market (Chợ Bến Thành)

Ben Thanh market is an enormous building—it takes up an entire city block. The market's selection isn’t nearly as impressive as the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok, though. At night (starting around 6PM), sellers begin to set up booths on the streets outside the building, and the interior closes at 7.
