Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Book food tours and classes at least a few days ahead in June-September; small-group sizes are capped.
Reseller prices are quoted in USD or CHF on some sites; compare in EUR before booking.
Wear flat shoes; the Old Town is cobbled and the 1866 market street is steep and crowded at midday.
Tell the operator about dietary needs when booking; vegetarian substitutions are easy, vegan and gluten-free need notice.
Start tours before 11:00AM to reach 1866 Street while stalls are fully stocked.
Pick up your own olive oil, thyme honey and herbs from 1866 Street after the tour rather than buying at the airport.
