Markets, both big and small, some weekly, some daily, some annual, some specializing in food, or antiques, or clothes, or craft, have been a tradition in countries around the world for centuries.

Markets are a great place to see local people going about their daily business and to learn about local customs. Many are vibrant centres of community life where you will feel the heartbeat of a country while browsing the stalls.

Wherever you may go make time to visit a market.
