Where should we go?

Tell us when you can travel. We rank 62 food cities by how good that month is for eating, show what is in season and which food events are on, and let you set two or three side by side.

Seasons come from published guides and tourism boards. Where a guide described seasons in words, we mapped them to months, so treat edges as approximate. In the southern hemisphere, “peak” can mean busiest rather than best weather. Each city explains its months under “Why these months” when you compare.

Already know where you are going? Start a trip, see its food calendar month by month or the world's 100 best food festivals, or browse every city guide. Prices, hours and dates change, so confirm before you book.
