tegernsee christmas market

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.

yogyakarta market

Yogyakarta’s old market

Shopkeepers sit on stools and sell vegetables, fires burn with pots boiling on top, a woman cuts open a coconut. This is a market as authentic as they come!

souillac 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.

tetouan medina

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.

negombo fish market

Nothing fishy about Raja

While exploring the fish markets near the Sri Lankan beach of Negombo, I meet Raja. I don’t ask for a tour but I get one – and it turns out to be perfect.

ayutthaya floating market

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.
