Grand Market Guided Walk
Step into the noise, colour and conversation of a working food market. Your host leads a small group past fruit pyramids, spice mounds, cheese counters and sizzling grills, introducing the vendors who have traded here for years.
Along the way you will:
- Taste seasonal produce, street snacks and sweet treats straight from the stall.
- Learn how to read a market: which queues matter, what is in season, and how to ask for a fair price.
- Meet local makers and hear the stories behind their family recipes.
- Take home practical tips for shopping, cooking and eating well for the rest of your stay.
The pace is relaxed, with plenty of stops for photos, questions and second helpings. Groups stay small so everyone can hear, taste and chat. Bring an appetite and comfortable shoes, and leave with a basket of favourites plus a far better sense of how this city really eats.

For participants
Book at least 24 hours ahead so stall visits and tastings can be confirmed. Arrive five minutes early at the meeting point; latecomers may not be able to catch up with the group. Bring a small amount of local cash, a refillable water bottle and a bag for any purchases. Tell the host in advance about allergies, dietary needs or mobility limits so the route can be adjusted.
