Time Out Market - who are we?
For more than 50 years, Time Out has discovered and championed the best of the city – from culture to nightlife, to food and drink. Now that curation has a home.
It all began in London in 1968 when Time Out – a magazine created by Tony Elliott at his kitchen table – helped people discover the exciting, new urban cultures that had started up all over the city. Today, Time Out curates and creates the best things to do in 333 cities in 59 countries across digital and physical channels.
In 2014, Time Out Lisbon editors turned parts of a historic market hall in the city into Time Out Market, creating the world’s first food and cultural market, and the first market experience rooted wholly in editorial curation.
And so, Time Out Market was born bringing the best of the city together under one roof: its best culinary and cultural experiences, based on the editorial curation Time Out has always been known for. It brings to life decades of local knowledge, independent reviews and expert opinions.
Since then, Time Out Market has opened in eleven cities around the world: in addition to Lisbon, there are Markets in New York, Boston, Montreal, Chicago, Dubai, Cape Town, Porto, Barcelona, Bahrain and Osaka.
And this is just the beginning. Watch this space for more Time Out Markets opening in 2025 and beyond including new locations in Union Square (New York), Vancouver, Abu Dhabi, Budapest, Prague and Riyadh.
