Food Tour Layovers

Tired of $20 airport sandwiches? Here's exactly what to eat and where to save on your layover.

Food-focused layovers

Pick one food street or market, eat fast, and leave a buffer.

What works

  • Markets or single streets with multiple stalls/cafés.
  • Signature dishes you can get quickly (tacos, dumplings, sandwiches).
  • Walkable routes near transit to save time.

What to avoid

  • Long tasting menus or sit-down meals with slow service.
  • Far-flung neighborhoods needing long transfers.
  • Lines without a clear end time when your layover is tight.

Timing

  • Eat early to skip crowds.
  • Carry cash where stalls are common.
  • Leave for the airport with a generous buffer (2h short-haul, 3h long-haul).
