Must-Visit Markets Around the World 

Leah’s Travel Story 

 

I am Leah. I have been writing a travel blog since I was 18. 

 

I go places and share my experiences with my readers. 

 

Visiting markets is a good way to learn about the culture of a country. 

 

Markets are places where you can meet people, learn history, and taste local food. 

 

I wonder whether there is any better way to discover another culture.

 

1 Grand Bazaar, Turkey 

 

Turkey is a country where East meets West, so it has a long tradition of trade. 

 

It is a natural place for large markets like the Grand Bazaar. 

 

The market was built in 1455 in Istanbul. 

 

Back then, the market had two big buildings, and people traded goods like cloth and gold there. 

 

Today the Grand Bazaar is much bigger, and it is the largest covered market in the world.

 

It has 64 streets and more than 4,000 shops under one roof. 

 

The market attracts over 250,000 visitors every day. 

 

You can buy almost any imaginable item there. 

 

Extra Tip Ask shop owners if they carry nazar boncuğu, a traditional Turkish symbol for good luck. 

 

Also, if you want a nice snack, make sure to try lokum, a traditional Turkish candy.

 

2 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand 

 

In the past, Thai people traded goods on rivers. 

 

This was the beginning of floating markets in Thailand. 

 

With better road transportation, many floating markets disappeared. 

 

Since the late 1960s, however, some of them have come back and kept the tradition alive. 

 

Today, one of the most popular floating markets is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. 

 

It is always crowded with tourists from all over the world. 

 

You can buy local foods and traditional gift items directly from boats. 

 

Extra Tip I wonder if you have ever had a meal on water. 

 

If not, try noodles like pad thai. 

 

The sellers will cook them on their boats and pass them to you with a long fishing pole.

 

3 Aalsmeer Flower Market, The Netherlands 

 

The Netherlands means “low lands.” 

 

As the name suggests, about 70% of the country sits below sea level. 

 

Thus, the Dutch built up the land, and one effective way to use it was to grow flowers and sell them. 

 

It is, therefore, no surprise that the country has the largest flower market in the world: the Aalsmeer Flower Market. 

 

The building where the market is housed is bigger than 120 soccer fields. 

 

The market is busy with thousands of flower-filled carts. 

 

They are moved mostly by electric-powered trucks. 

 

Every day, around 20 million flowers are traded and shipped to all corners of the world. 

 

Extra Tip You may wonder whether you can buy just a few flowers at the market. 

 

Sadly, you cannot, but you can see how whole sale flower trading works.
