"A sprawling, Victorian-era marketplace that functions as the city’s epicurean heart, this multi-block institution (opened in 1878) is a chaotic, sensory-packed hub for produce, seafood, meat, spices and ready-to-eat stalls. Visitors oscillate between tightly planned routes and leisurely meanders triggered by hawkers’ calls and tempting aromas; buildings and vendors have evolved over 140 years to include seasonal attractions such as a popular winter night market. Expect eclectic architecture, queues for hidden gems tucked down hallways, and a lively atmosphere that draws locals, food lovers, history buffs and tourists alike." - Tristan Lutze
