Today, Time Out's professional journalists curate the best things to do, see and eat in 333 cities in 59 countries.

Time Out Market is the world's first editorially curated food and cultural market, bringing a city's best chefs, restaurateurs and unique cultural experiences together under one roof.

From cooking classes with top chefs to installations from local artists and live entertainment, Time Out Market captures the soul of the city.

The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in a historic market hall in Lisbon, quickly turning into the most popular destination in the city with 4.1m locals and tourists visiting in 2019.

The success of Lisbon brought further expansion in North America, with Time Out Market opening in five major cities in 2019:
Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and Montreal.

In 2021, Time Out Market expanded into the Middle East with Time Out Market Dubai, and more Time Out Market locations are in the pipeline including Porto, London, Prague, Japan and more.
