Market in Italy

Palermo's oldest and loudest street market, running through the Albergheria — produce, fish, and the fried street food the city is known for, shouted rather than sold. Mornings are the real thing; by evening part of it turns into somewhere to drink. Go hungry.

The city's fish and produce market, working since the eleventh century and still supplying the restaurants around it. Mornings only, closed Sundays and Mondays for fish. Go early with a coffee — it is the one place in central Venice that is unambiguously for the people who live there.
