World Food Markets Quiz – Where Cities Shop and Eat

Food markets are the heart of many cities, where farmers, fishers and cooks sell fresh produce and ready-to-eat dishes. They reveal local ingredients and traditions and attract both residents and travelers.

Some markets are centuries old. Barcelona's La Boqueria dates back to the 1200s, London's Borough Market has roots about 1,000 years old and Istanbul's Spice Bazaar opened in the 1660s. Tokyo's fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu in 2018.

Markets come in many forms, from Thailand's floating markets and Taiwan's night markets to Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fnaa square and Seattle's Pike Place, famous for flying fish. Visiting a market is one of the best ways to taste a place.
