For many international travelers around the world, one of the most exciting things about traveling is being able to experience the food made by different cultures. Some even say that the best way to understand a new culture is by observing the traditions that surround the meals and the food. Foodie travelers come to learn about the traditions of Bento in Japan, Shabbat in Israel, Dim Sum in China, La Siesta in Spain, and the long family meals in France and Italy. Foodie travel is not just about tasting delicious food from all over the globe, it is also about immersing oneself in a new culture and learning about how similar but different daily life can be.
The Top Destinations for Foodies
There are many destinations to choose from when deciding where to go for foodie travel. Whether visitors follow a specific diet or not, the majority of the destinations will be able to accommodate travelers accordingly. Here are a few of the top destinations for foodie travelers.
Although the average travelers would not consider Bologna as their first stop on their Italy trip itinerary, foodie travelers should. Bologna brings foodie experience to a whole new level. The city is not only home to the productions of Parmigiano-Reggiano, the Parma ham, and the Balsamic vinegar, but the proud founding city of the Bolognese ragù. Travelers will be able to indulge in some of the most amazing lasagna or tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù while sipping on the semi-sweet Lambrusco wine.
Tokyo, Japan
For some of the most authentic, delicious and fresh Sushi in the world, Tokyo is the place to be. Travelers should add Japan to their list if they want to experience something different and unique. Between visiting the hidden izakayas or the Tsukiji fish market, visitors will have the chance to embark on an adventurous ride by trying dishes they never heard of before.
Bangkok, Thailand
Thai food is universally loved, so why not visit the capital of Thailand and experience the country's authentic dishes. Travelers will be able to stroll through the streets of Bangkok and have a unique culinary experience as they try out various Thai dishes made by the street vendors or at the night markets. On the other hand, Bangkok is also home to some Michelin star restaurants that are worth to check out.
