If there is something we like to do when we are traveling it is to go to a flea market or to a market. There we can find everything and take a few typical souvenir things at very good prices. Practically in every town or city in this world there is a flea market, so today I bring you a compilation of the best ones so that you can visit them if you are going to be in that city, or in case you want to organize your holidays to be able to visit one. These are considered best markets in the world:
– Tsukiji Market of Tokyo: It is the largest fish market in the world and it is a real spectacle, especially if you want to see the tuna pole that is made at 4:30 in the morning. Here there are also several restaurants where you can eat fresh shushi or sashimi, which you can do from 5 in the morning, although I don't know if you will get that delicacy at that time.
– Plaza Farmers Market Ferry in San Francisco: The best day to visit this market is Saturday, which is when there are a lot of stalls with many things, especially organic products such as vegetables, fruit and all the local specialties.
– Oaxaca market in Juárez: Mexico is one of the countries where you find the best market environment, and also where some of the best in the world are. In Oxaca you can find local handicrafts, typical products and, of course, eat a good portion of tacos or grasshoppers (a kind of grasshopper that although a priori you don't like they say they are very good). In Mexico you also have the 20 de Noviembre Market and the Benito Juárez Market, completing the three most important in the country.
– Santiago Central Market: Opened in the Chilean capital in 1872, there are several restaurants where you can try delicious fish and seafood from the Pacific.
