The markets of Europe run the gamut of historical food halls such as the Budapest Great Hall Market to newer incarnations on old market sites like London’s Borough Market. There are still street markets throughout much of the continent as well as traditional food halls. A visit to these places is a great way to really get a feel for the food culture of a city. The ones that stand out are:
- London: Borough Market
- Budapest: Great Hall Market
- Florence: Mercato Centrale
- Barcelona: La Boqueria
- Cork: English Market
- Helsinki: Kauppatori
France deserves a section of it’s own because it is the queen of markets.
