Getting to know a destination is sometimes best done through your belly; swapping long guided walking tours for a cafe crawl, ditching the sightseeing for a supper or spending your cash on speciality drinks rather than in the shopping district.
Tucking into the culinary culture of a location can tell you just as much about the area, its heritage, history and community as hitting up the local landmarks can. With the rise of bakery tourism on social media, it shows tourists are intrigued by handcrafted treats which can reveal an awful lot more about culture through their creative designs, flavours and skills – and willing to travel for good food.
