Fodor's Expert Review Covered Market

This mighty expanse of Victorian iron was once a bit of an eyesore, but the city's covered market has had a much-needed makeover. Built in 1860, and the first building on the island to be constructed out of metal, it now houses a bustling basement food market heaving with wines, oils, and gourmet tidbits, and a ground floor bustling with international and local street food stalls (tapas, grilled fish, pastizzi). Outdoor seating and an upstairs exhibition center complete the picture. Hours are daily until 10 pm.
