The Yummy Market Walk is a two-hour guided food walk in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, run through Visit Ljubljana (Turizem Ljubljana), the city's official tourism organisation, and booked via visitljubljana.com. The walk starts at the Tourist Information Centre at Stritarjeva ulica 1 in the Old Town and heads to the Central Market, the open-air and covered market stretching along the Ljubljanica river beneath the castle hill. Because the tour is organised by the city tourism body rather than a private food company, it is a good fit for visitors who want an introduction to local produce and seasonal eating without a large group format. Market stalls are at their busiest and most varied from April to October, when farmers from the surrounding Central Slovenia region sell fruit, vegetables, honey, cheeses, cured meats and bread, although the walk operates year-round. Along the route the guide explains how Slovenians shop for food, what ingredients define regional cooking, and how the market fits into daily life in the capital. Guests taste items directly from market stalls, so the walk works as a light, savoury-leaning sampling rather than a full meal, and the outing finishes with breakfast at a café, which adds a sit-down element and a chance to try something sweet or a coffee. The official 2026 listing shows €90 (~$99) for one person and €120 (~$132) for two, and the price range is roughly €60-90 per person depending on group composition, so the current rate should be confirmed when booking. Included items are the guided walk, the stall tastings and the closing café breakfast; transport, extra purchases at the market and gratuities are not part of the price. Specific group size limits and dietary substitution policies are not published in the item data, so visitors with allergies, vegetarian or other dietary needs should raise them when reserving so that the guide can steer tastings accordingly. The pace is a relaxed city walk with frequent stops, suited to most ages, and the compact Old Town and market area keep walking distances short. Morning departures pair naturally with the market's peak trading hours and with the breakfast ending.
