market

Tegernsee Christmas Markets, Bavaria, Germany

Christmas markets on a lake

For a bit of a different German Christmas market experience, try the markets at Tegernsee that are connected by a boat across a lake.

Grand Bazaar, Kashgar, China

Asia’s most interesting bazaar

Kashgar was once a vital stop along the Silk Road. A grand bazaar appeared and today it’s still an epicentre of curious trade.

Urumqi Grand Bazaar, China

More bizarre than bazaar

This market is promoted as a window to the Silk Road. Unfortunately it lacks authenticity and is just another symbol of the growth of tourism in China.

Ayothaya Floating Market, Ayutthaya, Thailand

Finding Thai tourists in Thailand

Yes, the Ayothaya Floating Market is made for tourists – but for local Thai tourists! That makes for an interesting enough sight in itself.

Souillac market day, France

A French market

Each Friday, the main square in the small town of Souillac comes alive. It’s market day and that means a traditional French gathering of local producers.

Pasar Besar market, Kota Bharu, Malaysia

A brief stop in Kota Bharu

You might think there aren’t many things to see in Kota Bharu, but this Malaysian city is more than just a transit point.

Local market in Tetouan, Morocco

A Moroccan Monday market

The small Moroccan city of Tetouan was an important link between Africa and Spain. Its old medina is still intact and today the market’s taken it over.

Panjakent, Tajikistan

A stop in Panjakent

Panjakent is more than just a rest stop on Tajikistan. Dig down, and you’ll find an ancient city buried here!

Chorsu Bazaar, Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Tashkent’s Chorsu Bazaar

Here’s what to expect at Tashkent’s Chorsu Bazaar – one of the best places to see daily life in Uzbekistan and the best market in Tashkent.
