European food highlights

A tray of freshly baked Portuguese tarts

Portuguese tart

Desserts don't get any more decadent or more delicious than Portuguese tarts. Filled with a sugary, vanilla custard which is then baked to achieve that perfectly crisp look, these sweet treats are all the rage in Portugal and have been since their creation way back in 1820. 

A group of travellers enjoying gelato on a hot day in Rome

While gelato may be famous worldwide, there's nothing like enjoying the icy sweet treat in the country where it originated back in the 1600s. From the classic lemon to the nutty pistachio, Italian gelato can't be beaten when it comes to its spectacularly rich and fresh taste. 

A bowl of red ajvar next to flaky bits of pie pastry

Stemming from the need to use up as many red peppers as possible from the annual harvest, ajvar is a savoury relish from the Balkan region of Europe. Usually paired with cheese, pickles, yoghurt, or bread, this colourful condiment is a must-try in Serbia, Croatia, and Macedonia. 

Meet our local leaders

culinary tour europe

'Spain is all about food. Of course, you have the monuments and the history, but when you travel with me it’s about the food. I like to order the food when I take my groups out because I want people to try something new. I choose things like pork cheek stew because this is something that many would not think to try.' – Daniel, Spain

Why choose Intrepid

A camera

Real, authentic experiences

We love the highlights, but for us the real magic is found off the tourist trails. Our trips combine iconic sites with hidden gems that you’ll only discover with Intrepid. We’re talking mornings exploring the Taj Mahal, followed by a Mughlai cooking class with a passionate home cook.

A local Intrepid leader

Local expertise

Whether you’re perusing markets, hunting down the best street food bites or learning how to cook centuries-old family recipes at a homestay, there’s no better way to get the inside scoop on a destination – and its culinary traditions – than with an expert local leader by your side.

A small group of travellers

Small groups

Big coaches and flag-toting tour guides don’t cut it for us. With a maximum group size of 12, our groups blend in with the locals and have plenty of opportunities to interact with chefs, street food vendors and group leaders. It also means you can really connect with your fellow foodies.

8 Food Tours in Europe You Need to Take

Hemingway may have called Paris a “moveable feast,” but the same could be said of London, Rome, Copenhagen, and the other destinations on this list. Whether you dream of dining at Spain’s Michelin-starred restaurants, going on a truffle hunt in Piedmont, discovering the secrets of Swiss chocolate in the Alps, or sampling the best New Nordic cuisine in Denmark, these eight food tours are sure to whet your appetite.

An avid Italophile, Laura is always on the hunt for the next great travel trends, luxury hotels, best places to eat and drink, and hidden gems. Her writing has appeared in dozens of publications. She also co-wrote "New York: Hidden Bars and Restaurants," an award-winning guide to the city's speakeasy scene.

Eating Europe’s London East End Tour

Started in Rome in 2011, tours with Eating Europe take travelers on "unparalleled, non-touristy" culinary journeys that get at the heart—and stomach—of off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods in some of the world's great cities (including Florence, Amsterdam, Paris, Prague, and London). We love their half-day East End tour in London , where you can sample English cheeses, fish and chips, curries along Brick Lane, and mouth-watering salted caramel tarts during stops at bakeries, markets, shops, pubs, and restaurants.

Scooteroma’s Vespa Foodie Tour of Rome

The next time you’re in Rome, consider joining this food tour, which combines two of the city’s greatest pleasures: food and Vespas. American expat Annie Ojile founded Scooteroma as a way of sharing her new home with family and friends. One of her friendly and knowledgeable guides will pick you up at your hotel and zip around the city, stopping for a cappuccino and cornetto at the old-school bakery Panella, sampling the cult-favorite street food at Trapizzino, grabbing gelato on the Aventine Hill, and relaxing with a bite at Necci dal 1924 in the street art-filled neighborhood of Pigneto.

Imago Artis’ Piedmont Tour

Emilia Romagna is often touted as Italy’s culinary capital, but the more under-the-radar region of Piedmont, in northwestern Italy, is where you should go to experience wine and truffles—two of the country’s greatest delicacies. Every fall, Piedmont celebrates harvest and white truffle season with all kinds of festivities, including the annual Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Bianco d’Alba (Alba White Truffle Fair). Join tour operator Imago Artis for a culinary trip to the region: you'll visit some of the region’s best wineries, feast on fresh pasta at a local favorite trattoria in Barbaresco, and even partake in a truffle hunt in the woods around Alba led by a veteran truffle hunter and his trusty hound.

Intrepid Travel’s Portugal Tour

Want to take a deep dive into Portugal’s rich culinary traditions? Consider Intrepid Travel’s eight-day Portugal Real Food Adventure , which starts in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela and makes its way south through Vigo, Porto, the Douro Valley, the Alentejo, Evora, and eventually ends in Lisbon. Along the way, you’ll partake in a Galician cooking class, sample pastries and port wine, visit the terraced wineries of the Douro Valley, stay on a farm in the Alentejo, and sample arguably the best egg custard tarts in the country.

Zicasso’s Food & Wine Tour of Spain

Dining at Spain’s Michelin-starred temples to gastronomy should be on any serious foodie's bucket list, and Zicasso’s Once in a Lifetime Food & Wine Tour of Spain: 17 Michelin Stars in Two Weeks allows you to do just that. The journey kicks off in Barcelona, where you’ll dine at not one but three three-Michelin-starred restaurants (including the legendary El Celler de Can Roca) before embarking on a train trip through rolling vineyards to Valencia—the home of Spanish paella. The tour continues south to Sevilla—the heart of Andalucía and the “land of liquid gold,” as olive oil is dubbed there—and ends in Madrid at three-starred DiverXO, led by pioneering young local chef David Muñoz.

Alpenwild’s Tour de Chocolat

Attention, chocoholics: your dream trip awaits on Alpenwild’s Tour de Chocolat , an indulgent (and scenic) six-day odyssey through the Alps that unveils the secrets of Swiss chocolate. Every day brings a new chocolate-themed experience, from creating your own truffles to learning tempering techniques, visiting the workshop of a top-tier chocolate artisan, exploring single-source chocolates, and tasting new flavor combinations. Of course, you can’t exclusively eat chocolate for a week, so the tour also covers general Swiss cuisine with a visit to Gruyère (home of the famous cheese), a truffle hunt in the Jura mountains, and a meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Context Travel’s Paris Modern Taste of the Marais Tour

Want to spend a day in the life of a Parisian Bobo (a.k.a. a bourgeois-bohemian)? Context Travel will pair you with a chef or food writer, who will lead you on a 2.5-hour tour through the traditional bakeries and cafés as well as organic markets and hip international bistros of the Haut Maraism (Paris’s trendy 3rd arrondissement). Along the way, you’ll stop at the Marché des Enfants Rouges—the oldest covered market in Paris—and pop into specialty shops to pick up snacks for a gourmet apéro ( Bobo slang for an aperitif, or pre-dinner snack). Keep your eyes peeled for hip spots like famed Mexican restaurant Candelaria and Popelini, which is known for reinventing the traditional choux pastry.

Foodtours.eu’s Copenhagen Culinary Experience Tour

Food tourism is one of the top reasons to visit Denmark, where the New Nordic food movement is all the rage. What better way to delve into Scandinavian cuisine than on a half-day walking tour through Copenhagen ? Foodtours.eu will shed light on Danish history through the lens of food, with plenty of samples along the way. You’ll start at the new covered market Torvehallerne (where Noma alum Rosio Sanchez opened her popular taco stand Hija de Sanchez) and sample preserves, caramels, liquorice, and artisanal cheese developed by Michelin-starred chefs. Of course, a food tour of Copenhagen wouldn’t be complete without sampling smørrebrød—famous open-faced sandwiches piled high with fish, veggies, and other toppings—so be sure to leave some room.

What our guests say about us

Sapio Trieste Karst

Ernst G von BERN

Trieste: Between Karst and Sea

Wir liessen uns von der Leidenschaft der Produzenten, Köchen und der Reiseleiterin anstecken. Triest ist eine wunderschöne und lebendige Stadt.

gitasis 78809

Siracusa and the Culinary Southeast of Sicily

Wir haben die Reise von Anfang bis Ende genossen. Das Programm ist sehr gut organisiert und sehr abwechslungsreich. In den 6 Tagen, die wir insgesamt in Sizilien unterwegs waren, haben wir die Region gut kennengelernt. Mit unserer 10-köpfigen Reisegruppe hatten wir großes Glück - wir haben uns mit allen gut verstanden, eine schöne Zeit zusammen verbracht und sehr viel gelacht. Die beiden Wanderungen mit Fabio und der gesamten Gruppe mit Badepausen und abendlichem Festmahl bei ihm zu Hause gehören mit zu den schönsten Erlebnissen. Das Highlight der Reise war Reiseleiterin Monika, die uns mit ihrer Begeisterung für Sizilien und Italien einfach angesteckt hat, sich um alles gekümmert hat, tolle Locations mit rausgesucht hat und das Ganze zu einem besonders schönen Erlebnis gemacht hat.

Amalfi Tramonti Cantina Tagliafierro

Der tatsächliche Ablauf der Reise war exakt so wie in der Beschreibung angekündigt. Die Mischung aus sportlicher und kulinarischer Betätigung war optimal. Die Termine (Uhrzeiten) waren sehr gut aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass nie Hektik aufkam. Dass unsere Reise insgesamt ein absolutes Highlight war, verdanken wir unserem Reiseleiter Domenico: überragende Deutschkenntnisse, verlässlich pünktliche Transfers, perfekte kulinarische Versorgung und Auswahl sowohl im Hotel als auch unterwegs, Eingehen auf persönliche Wünsche und fundierte Kenntnisse der besuchten Orte und Wanderwege. Die Anzahl von 8 Teilnehmern war perfekt.

Villa Rufolo Amalfi coast

Eine wunderschöne Reise zusammen mit tollen Menschen, faszinierender Natur, freundlichen Menschen, die uns Ihre Produkte mit Herzblut gezeigt haben und tollem Essen. Allen voran unser Reiseleiter Mimo, der uns mit ganz viel Herz durch seine Heimat begleitet hat. Als letztes Highlight hatte ich einen sehr engagieren Taxifahrer bei der Rückreise nach Neapel. Er hat eine besonders schöne Route über die Monte Lattari gewählt und unterhalten haben wir uns über ein Handyübersetzungsprogramm, das war sehr lustig.

Emilia

Diesse Reise war angenehm und informativ in einer netten Gesellschaft.

Amalfi Sentiero dei limoni

Generell: Ich schätze bei Sapio, dass ich zu ausgesuchten Produzenten (Kräuterkunde, Mozarella, Wein, Olivenöl, Zitronen) geführt und nicht auf ausgetrampelte Touristenpfade geschickt werde. Ich habe die Kocherlebnisse, die Verpflegung in Agritourismi und und die Picknicks auf den Wanderungen (organisiert vom Reiseleiter) genossen. Bewertung Reiseleitung: Benchmark für mich ist die Reiseleitung vom letzten Mal (Tiziana in Trieste), der ich die vollen fünf Sterne gegeben habe.

20 must-try foodie experiences in Europe

From the best food tours in Europe to incredible cooking classes, workshops and masterclasses, here are 20 foodie experiences for your Europe bucket list – as recommended by me and other travel writers.

1. Pasta making class in Bologna, Italy

A woman making tortellini.

The city of Bologna is one of the best food cities in Italy – in fact, its nickname is La Grassa, or ‘the fat one’. Located in Emilia Romagna, it’s the centre of some of the most famous Italian ingredients, including balsamic vinegar, prosciutto, and parmigiano reggiano.

There are many distinct Bolognese dishes but the most iconic is tortellini in brodo , delicate parcels of pasta filled with minced pork in broth. If you’re going to eat this anywhere it must be in Italy!

One of the best things to do in Bologna is seek out this wonderful dish and just eat it. But you can take it one step further. Taste Bologna, one of the best food tour companies in the city, runs workshops where you can learn from a pasta expert. They have small classes where you get hands-on experience making fresh pasta from scratch, rolling out the dough and learning how to make these intricate tortellini. Afterwards you enjoy the fruits of your labour paired with great Italian wine.

The best part is that it’s a skill you’ll take home with you. Others may reminisce about a stellar meal at a restaurant, but with a food tour, it’s possible recreate that memory again and again.

2. Pastel de Nata workshop in Lisbon, Portugal

Trying a Portuguese custard tart, or a pastéis de nata as they’re known locally, is one of the top things to do in Lisbon if not the whole of Portugal . Why not learn to make them at a cookery class in one of Lisbon’s favourite bakeries, Pastelaria Batalha.

Classes are run by João, who has been baking pastries since he was 14 years old. The two-hour workshops run twice a day at 2pm and 4pm and include a hands-on pastry-making class , three tarts for you to try there/take home, a drink of your choice, and a tasting of some of the bakery’s other specialties.

While in Lisbon, also head to Pastéis de Belém in the Belem neighbourhood to try the original. The eponymous tart was first created there in 1837 based on an ancient recipe from the Mosteiro dos Jeónimos. The exact formula remains a secret to this day.

The queues tend to be long, but the reward is worth it. Other places serving notable custard tarts in Lisbon include Manteigaria, Pastelaria Versailles, Pastelaria Cristal and Pato Real. Grab a box to take home with you – they make for the perfect Portugal souvenir .

3. Morning food tour in Budapest, Hungary

From the best food tours in Europe to cooking classes, workshops and masterclasses, here are 20 of the very best food experiences in Europe.

Not a morning person? Taste Hungary has the answer. Their morning food tour in Budapest sees you kick start the day the royal way with a shot – yes a shot – of Unicum.

Unicum was once consumed by the country’s ruler to help settle his stomach. Today, this medicinal herbal liqueur is a ‘marmite’ alcoholic drink consumed by tourists on food tours and party-goers in ruin bars.

Since this is a day tour, you won’t visit Pest’s infamous ruin bars, but do take note of their locations and return for a shot of palinka at a later date.

Now that your stomach is lined, it is time to try some of Hungary’s filling foods such as langos (pasty, sour cream and cheese), soups and stew. The multi-stop tour takes you to the best food markets, butchers, cafes and restaurants – many of which have been around so long, they’ve survived wars, genocide, royalty and huge political change.

Learn the stories behind the strudel by adding this food experience to your Budapest itinerary .

The tour ends where it began, drinking alcohol, but this time in a more sophisticated setting at an underground wine cellar. Here, you get to sample the delightful ‘bull’s blood’ from Eger, one of Hungary’s most interesting destinations . The perfect nightcap to a food coma-inducing food tour.

4. Truffle hunting tour in Croatian Istria

When planning your trip to Croatia , a stop in the picture-perfect region of Istria is an absolute must for anyone who fancies themselves a food lover. While the area is famous for its world-class Italian Croatian cuisine, the true star of the region is the illusive white truffle.

The white truffle is a rare mushroom that naturally grows in the rich Motovun forest around Istria, one of Croatia’s most beautiful regions . If you visit in the white truffle season from September to early winter, you will be treated with fresh white truffles in every restaurant at a fraction of the price you would pay in Italy or France.

Even better than dining on white truffles is the opportunity to go on a truffle hunting tour. Karlic Tartuffi, a third-generation truffle farm offers terrific tours. The itinerary consists of a short introduction to truffles and their history in the region.

After that, the real fun begins when you suit up (you’ll want to wear shoes that you’re OK with getting muddy – or you can borrow shoes from them) to trek though the Motovun Forest with your guide and the truffle hunting dogs.

While trying to find truffles yourself would be quite the feat, truffle hunting is impossible without the keen sense of smell that dogs or pigs naturally possess. It’s a fun day of tromping through the forest with adorably cute dogs. Afterwards, you’ll be taken back to the farm to dine on the most amazing truffle omelette of your life.

5. Beer and chocolate tour in Brussels, Belgium

A table spread with sausage and glasses of Belgian beer.

People rave over Belgian food such as fries, waffles, chocolates, and strong beer. When in Brussels, try the Brussels Journey Beer and Chocolate Tour, which will take you to some of the best chocolate shops and bars in the capital.

Belgians invented a chocolate called a praline just before WWI. In other countries, pralines imply a nut-filled chocolate, but in Belgium a praline is just a chocolate-covered candy with a soft centre. To this day, many of the most popular chocolate companies are Belgian, including Godiva and Neuhaus. But on this tour, you’ll visit smaller chocolate makers such as Pierre Marcolini and Frederic Blondeel.

On the beer and chocolate tour, you’ll sample pralines with every kind of filling, from chili-chocolate to Earl Grey. The tour begins with four different chocolate tastings before moving onto the beer tasting. That’s because you’ll appreciate the fine Belgian chocolate more before you start drinking.

Belgians tend to prefer extremely strong ales over lagers. Many of the most famous Belgian beers are actually produced by monks. You’ll be able to sample some of these ales on the tour, but don’t drink too quickly – Belgian brews have an extremely strong alcohol content, close to 10 percent. 

Another type of famous Belgian beer is sour beer. These are made using a special wild yeast. They are often fruity with flavours like cherry or raspberry. You definitely can’t leave Brussels without trying a sour beer, so it’s a good thing the beer and chocolate tour gives you a chance to sample one of the best!

6. Food tour in Florence, Italy

One of the most delightful culinary experiences you can have abroad is a food tour of Florence, Italy . Florence is known for its top-notch foodie scene, and a food tour will let you sample the best of what this region has to offer. After all, you haven’t experienced Italy until you’ve had a proper meal of antipasto, primo, secondo, and dolce.

I can’t recommend a food tour with Walks of Italy highly enough. Their local guides take you around the foodie Oltrarno neighborhood, which is the more authentic side of the Arno River dividing Florence . The Dine Around Florence tour offers plenty of food and wine to fill you up, while also showing you a lesser-visited part of the city.

On this tour, you will meet your group at Piazza Santo Spirito before proceeding to your first stop: the Medieval basement of a local wine shop for aperitivo. This light snack served with wine will prime your taste buds for your next course: a beautiful antipasto spread at La Prosciutteria.

After that, you’ll head to a nearby restaurant for both primo and secondo before the grand finale. This would of course be a scoop of gelato from an artisan gelateria, before your guide sets you free for an evening wandering Italy’s most beautiful city on your own.

7. Tapas tour in Andalucia, Spain

Small pieces of bread topped with colourful ingredients.

The Andalucia region of Spain is well known for its tapas, and each city has different specialties. Malaga is no exception. This pretty coastal city is popular for its beaches and history, but it’s well worth also taking a food tour towards the beginning of your trip to get an idea of what the food scene is like.

The Spain Food Sherpas evening tapas tour takes you to several different places where you’ll try local specialties including sweet wine made with local raisins. You’ll also get to taste locally made vermouth and other wines.

This tour gives you the chance to taste a variety of tapas, from Spanish ham to local delicacies including fresh seafood. You’ll learn the history of the food and how certain dishes and ingredients rose to prominence in this region while exploring the city and enjoying the lively nighttime vibe.

The tour guide will take you to places you probably wouldn’t find on your own, and you’ll get advice on where and what to eat during your trip to Malaga . This is a great way to avoid the not-so-great tourist food and eat genuinely good food instead.

8. Champagne tour from Paris, France

A table crowded with champagne flutes.

One of the best food tours in Europe and the world doesn’t actually involve food at all… But rather, Champagne.

Many travellers arrive in France from various parts of the world to indulge in one of its most famous and renowned drinks. France’s Champagne region is a great day trip from the capital city and there are several Paris Champagne tours that can give you a background lesson on the drink in addition to the opportunity to try different varieties.

Many people visiting the Champagne region don’t realise how impacted the prestigious drink was by WW2. A Champagne tour will not only give details about this, but it will also give guests the chance to understand how important Champagne cellars were to those taking refuge from the bombings in and around Reims, the unofficial Champagne capital of France. While Champagne’s history is enthralling, nothing is more memorable than actually getting to try the beverage.

There are Champagne tours to suit all budgets. You can visit Lanson, a Champagne that has its grapes grown inside of the city of Reims, and take an affordable tour of the cellars.  If you desire something slightly more upscale, opt for a private tour of Moët & Chandon. If you’re looking for a food or drinks tour in Europe that will leave a lasting impression, definitely head to France and sign up for a Champagne tour.

9. Food tour in Barcelona, Spain

People gather outside a cafe at night.

Tasting Spain means expanding beyond tapas, the famous little appetisers and bar snacks recognised around the globe. Skip the touristy, franchised tours on your visit to Barcelona in favour of a more intimate tasting experience off-the-beaten-path. These guides are local Catalans and former journalists committed to a tour that delivers on your personal culinary interests.

With Aborigens, there’s no pre-set itinerary. They like to meet guests first and then see what the night brings. A typical food tour might start at a vermouth bar in the Eixample neighbourhood where you’ll savour salty chips and mussels as a first appetiser, the perfect compliment to sweet vermouth.

Perhaps you’ll visit a 1930s bodega that still sells inexpensive co-op wine by the jug (and glass bottles of milk!) before moving on to a historic beer hall. Nosh on everything from codfish fritters and sardine pizza before a final stop at Bodega Sepulveda, revered for its long tradition of Catalan cuisine.

After a full dinner here, including memorable wines and champagne, you might finish the evening with Borracho , a rum sponge cake with cinnamon and lemon.

Aborigens also offers custom private foodie itineraries for couples in the Spanish countryside . You’ll pick up your rental car with all reservations for both accommodation and destination restaurants booked by the experts! What could be better?

10. Food tour in Vilnius, Lithuania

A bowl of brightly coloured beetroot soup.

Lithuania isn’t somewhere that’s particularly well known for its cuisine. At first glance, you might be more tempted to head into one of Vilnius’s trendy vegan restaurants than to seek out the local fare.

Thankfully, Vilnius Urban Adventures (with the help of some of the friendliest guides in the city) are available to show you the hidden spots that locals frequent and take you on a journey through Vilnius’s culinary history. This includes some fascinating insights into life under Soviet rule and an introduction to Lithuania’s almost obsessive mushroom hunting tradition.

Some of the highlights of a food tour in Vilnius include trying delicious fermented black bread, the indulgent and difficult-to-make cepelinai (which are named after the zeppelins they resemble), and saltibarsciai , a beetroot and kefir soup that will have you coming back for more.

Along the way, you’ll be treated to some of Lithuania’s finest local drinks, including the ‘three nines’ liqueur that is thought to cure all manner of ailments, wine made of rhubarb which is unique to the country, and kvass : the addictive low-alcohol beer made from black bread.

If you’re wondering what to eat in Vilnius and want a solid groundwork to understanding Lithuanian cuisine, then the Urban Adventures three-hour Flavours of Vilnius tour is ideal.

11. Market & coffee tour in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

A traditional Bosnian coffee set.

It may surprise you to learn that Bosnia and Herzegovina has a terrific food and drink scene . The ritual of making and drinking coffee is intertwined with the region’s history and an important part of daily life for many residents.

Before you hit the streets to go hopping from tea house to coffee shop, make sure you’ve perfected the art of sipping kahva the Sarajevo way. Local company Balkantina offers food walking tours of Sarajevo Old Town that include a crash course in Bosnian coffee culture.

Over the course of a few hours, you’ll visit two of the city’s most vibrant indoor and outdoor markets to sample a smorgasbord of local delicacies, including smoked meats, specialty farm cheeses, and seasonal fruit and veg. You’ll then sit down at two restaurants to eat workers’ fare and try the best burek in town.

The tour ends with a lesson in drinking Bosnian coffee – there’s quite an art to it – at an outdoor cafe set inside a historic caravanserai.

12. Paella cooking class in Barcelona, Spain

A pan of seafood paellla on a wooden table.

One of the best food experiences you can have in Europe is a paella cooking class in Barcelona. Marta Amb Tu Cuinem, also known as Marta’s Private Paella Cooking Class, is run by friendly ex-school teacher Marta who welcomes students into her home to teach them how to make a delicious seafood paella.

Although paella is traditionally from Valencia, every Spanish chef has their own opinion about what is the best recipe. Marta is no exception, and she is quick to emphasise that this is her own favourite version.

The class starts with an introduction into paella and the style of cooking in a wide, shallow paella pan. Next, you’ll get a run-down of all the ingredients before it’s time to get involved with the chopping and cooking. Once the dish is ready, everyone sits down to eat together.

This paella cooking class is special because it takes place in Marta’s home instead of inside a classroom or restaurant kitchen. The personal touch of being in someone’s house really adds to the experience. Marta’s friendly and informative style will make you feel like you’re part of the family.

13. Bakery and pastry tour in Copenhagen, Denmark

Pastries and cakes in a bakery in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Foodies visiting Copenhagen always have Danish bakeries on their itinerary. There are food tours, private and self-guided, that can give you a real taste of the city. For private food tours, Danish pastries will be a staple no matter which operator you choose.

To understand Danish baked goods, they’ll reintroduce you to bread. It may be simple in some food cultures, but Danish bakeries take bread to a new level, often including herbs, seeds and other flavour and texture elements. Fresh-baked bread is served in all Copenhagen restaurants .

Dense rye bread is the staple of Danish open-faced sandwiches ( smørrebrød ) and Danish breakfast is often a sourdough roll with butter, jam and cheese. Most food and bakery tours take you to Torvehallerne, a famous Copenhagen food hall, and visit Laura’s bakery for some of the best breads in town.

Beyond bread, pastries are also associated with Danish baking. What most people don’t realise is the history behind the Danish pastry and how its origin lies beyond Denmark. In 1850, there was a baker’s strike in Copenhagen, so bakers were brought in from other regions of Northern Europe, including Austria. These Viennese bakers introduced new baking techniques and some fresh pastry recipes that the Danes loved.

They stuck, and what most of the world knows as a danish  grew and grew in popularity. While they’ve been perfected by Danish bakers, the pastries brought to Copenhagen from Vienna are still called wienerbrød in Danish which translates to ‘Vienna bread’.

14. Self-guided food tour of Ljubljana, Slovenia

A plate of traditional Slovenian food at a restaurant in Ljubljana.

Not many people think of Ljubljana as a foodie destination. However, this underrated capital is full of surprises – including the chance to sample local specialties that may otherwise go unnoticed.

There are a few food tours on offer that you can add to your Ljubljana itinerary , but one of the most innovative ways of exploring the city’s foodie scene is through an app called bitemojo. Forget about following a group – instead, do a self-guided food tour at your own pace. If you don’t have time to visit all the stops, you can go back later!

This self-guided food tour of Ljubljana is a great way to discover cool little spots. It follows a route that takes you through some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Don’t worry about missing out on the historical information a tour leader would normally give you.

Starting at the Dragon Bridge, the app will point out the highlights of the city and gives you a historical background, recalls legends (like the one about the bridge) and various anecdotes. Of course, the narration includes all the information you need about the food and drink you’ll be tasting, including struklji , a traditional Slovenian dumpling, and delicious Bela Krajina wine.

15. Canederli making class in Trentino, Italy

A bowl of dumplings.

Italy is a popular destination for people who enjoy trying food, and cooking classes are a common activity. Many focus their efforts on learning how to make pasta, ravioli, pizza or tiramisu – but food in Italy is actually very regional and literally each village has its own traditional cuisine and special recipes. One of the funnest cooking classes you can take is a canederli making in Trentino’s Val di Sole , one of the most beautiful valleys of the Dolomites.

Canederli are a specialty in this part of Italy. They are a kind of dumpling made with leftover bread, fresh milk, local cheese and sausage, herbs and egg that is cooked in a light broth. They’re very filling because the idea is to give you a lot of energy to fight the cold winter temperatures.

A great place to learn how to make canederli is at Agritur Solasna, a fantastic rural hotel located inside a 13th century stone-house in San Giacomo di Caldes. Here, guests can appreciate the local way of life and learn recipes from the hosts. More than anything else, you can appreciate the gorgeous environment and the quiet pace of life.

Rows of colourful macarons.

Saint-Germain-des-Près, on the left bank of the River Seine, is a picturesque area of Paris well known for its cobbled streets, art galleries and quintessential bars and cafe-terraces . Saint-Germain is also the home of beautiful patisseries and boulangeries, featuring chocolates and perfect cakes of all colours. All important names of the high patisserie in France make sure they have at least one of their establishments in Saint-Germain.

Everybody knows about Paris food tours and wine tasting tours. Learning how to prepare macarons or croissants is also a typical activity in Paris. A new trend is chocolate and pastry walking tours, and Saint-Germain-des-Près is the perfect location for these yummy explorations.

If the weather in Paris is sunny, go outdoors and join a chocolate and pastry walking tour of the area. Apart from learning about one of the most iconic neighbourhoods in Paris, you will also be able to try delicacies by Pierre Hermé, Poilâne, Jean-Charles Rochoux and Alain Ducasse.

Go for their most spectacular creations (spoiler: they taste better than they look!), but also try some of the typical Parisian cakes , such as the Paris – Brest , the Saint Honoré , or the financiers .

17. Food tour in Athens, Greece

Walking food tours are, hands down, one of the best ways to get to know a city. This is true regardless of where you are in the world, but when you combine a world-class cuisine with a slightly harder-to-get-to-know city, the combination is absolutely dynamite. That’s the exact combination that makes taking a Greek food tour in Athens such a delight.

Athens is a magnificent city to travel in, but outside of a few world-famous highlights like the Acropolis , many travellers arrive without a clear plan of how to spend their days. That’s where a walking food tour comes in.

Take a tour ( this one is an amazing option ) early in your visit to Athens in order to orient yourself in the city, learn a bit about the history and culture , and, of course, to try lots and lots of phenomenal food – from spanakopita to loukoumades to gyros in their absolute best form.

Come hungry, and try to schedule a morning tour if you can – that way, you can go right from stuffing your face on one of the best food experiences in Europe to ascending to the Acropolis and burning it all off (in other words, making room for the Greek food feast you’ll no doubt want to be hungry enough for in time for dinner).

18. Food tour in Prague, Czechia

A plate of traditional Czech dumplings and stew.

While people are fascinated with the Czech Republic for its beer and stag parties, it’s also worth visiting the country, especially Prague, for the traditional Czech food on offer.

The area near Křižíkova Station in Prague has been undergoing massive changes as it was one of the worst-hit areas during the 2002 floods. After redevelopment, it’s now a vibrant mix of old and new. Restaurants here serve traditional Czech meals, but some also offer dishes with a modern twist.

Proti Produ is a great cafe to start the a traditional food tour. A cafe popular with remote professionals, its worth trying  Marinovaný bůček – sliced pork belly marinated with honey and thyme, and  Vajíčková pomazánka – egg spread with gherkins, cucumber, mayo and mustard.

The next restaurant on the tour should be Lokal – a favourite among locals and visitors alike. It’s popular for its Talian sausages (sausages that are cooked but not smoked) and  Svíčková – a famous dish served at weddings that consists of a spiced sirloin steak prepared with root veggies and boiled with double cream. Here you can try layered beer, too!

End your tour on a sweet note: Other restaurants including Eska and Café Alchymista offer a great selection of desserts.

19. Caviar catching experience in Bordeaux, France

A pot of black caviar and a slice of bread atop a white marble table.

Caviar is one of the world’s most luxurious and expensive foods. But enjoying caviar isn’t always a stuffy experience reserved only for the most posh restaurants. At Caviar de Neuvic, located about an hour from Bordeaux in the South West of France, guests relish the fine Aquitaine caviar produced on a sturgeon farm.

A visit to Caviar de Neuvic is as educational and fun as it is delicious. Guests not only learn that the Bordeaux area is France’s largest producer of caviar and that it is a Bordeaux specialty , but also that France is the world’s third-largest producer of caviar.

All caviar in France is farmed, and Caviar de Neuvic practice sustainable methods. Before getting to taste the caviar, guests who are daring enough can don a pair of waders, get in a pool with some of the male sturgeon and attempt to catch one just as the workers do.  

Feeling like she’d regret it if she didn’t give it a go, Jennifer from ‘Bordeaux Travel Guide’ put her sturgeon-catching skills to the test. The fish are quite big and fast. Proud she’d caught one, she posed for a photo and the moment the camera clicked, her sturgeon gave her a big whack right in the face with his tail, nearly knocking her down. The waders were no match for keeping her dry.

You’ll definitely feel like you earned your caviar tasting after the sturgeon catching attempt! It’s definitely a unique experience and one you shouldn’t miss out on during a trip to Bordeaux.

20. Montmarte food tour in Paris, France

A man breaks a French baguette.

For a great European foodie experience, look no further than a walking food tour of Montmartre in Paris. Whether it’s your first visit to Paris or your 21st, it’s a wonderful experience.

You’ll be met by a local Parisian, eager to show you all of the best places to shop and eat in Montmartre. Make sure you arrive hungry as you’ll definitely want to sample most of everything you see. Your guide will explain how local Parisians shop daily for their fresh food while exploring the produce market, visiting the local fishmonger and the butcher, too. 

You’ll stop by some of the best boulangeries in Paris, including Le Grenier à Pain, winner of the best baguette in the city several times over. Don’t miss one of the specialties of the house – the fougasse with figs and goat cheese.

During your walking tour, you’ll also enjoy a meal at a picturesque sidewalk cafe and take in the beautiful neighbourhood. Your local guide will explain the history of this unique part of Paris and why it’s still home to many artists and writers.

Eat Like An Italian Local On This Tour Ranked As One Of Europe's Best Rated Experiences

P izza, pasta, vino, gelato, you name it; there is no denying that Italy is a culinary mecca. Sure, the sights of Florence and Cinque Terre and Positano coasts are majestic. However, Italian food is superior and enough of a reason to visit the boot-legged country even without its natural beauty. It can feel overwhelming to determine where to get the best carbonara or bucatini amatriciana, especially in larger cities like Rome. Many places sacrifice quality and hike prices, knowing unsuspecting tourists will happily oblige since they don't know any better. To avoid this critical error when traveling through Italy, your best bet is to book a food tour through a trusted guide.

With many food tours to choose from, there's one in Italy's most famous  bucket list destination , Rome, that allows you to live like a local through its food, the country's favorite love language.  The Roman Food Tour in Trastevere with Free-Flowing Fine Wine  takes you through Rome's most colorful and humble neighborhood, Trastevere, and offers some of the best bites in the city. Don't just take it from us; this tour is one of the highest-rated in Europe on Viator.

Read more: Tips For Spending Less On Food When Traveling

What To Expect On The Tour

Led by a local, this food tour kicks off in Trastevere with the famous street food, Trapizzino, essentially a triangular-shaped cone-like pizza stuffed to the brim with toppings. You can customize the meal, adding classic or daring toppings, and wash it down with DOCG wine. Next, you'll head to Essenza Wine Bar for proper Italian charcuterie. Enjoy cheese, cured meats, and, of course, more wine.

You're not quite done yet; your third stop is Peppo al Cosimato. Here, you'll get to try some 'za from the oldest wood-fired oven in the neighborhood and, you guessed it, more wine. You'll also have the opportunity to taste freshly made pasta — notice how the chew is much more prominent than that of boxed grocery store pasta back in the States. After one bite of fresh pasta in Italy, returning to basic pasta will be tough!

Finally, you won't need to worry about finding the best gelato on your own because you'll end on a sweet note at Fonte della Salute. Try some classic Italian gelato, with flavors ranging from pistachio to stracciatella. In total, the tour takes around four hours and costs $131 per person. 

What The Reviews Are Saying

You could stop at the best places in the world, but if the logistics are off, the experience will still be spoiled. Such is not the case with The Roman Food Tour in Trastevere with Free-Flowing Wine. With close to 1,400 reviews and a perfect 5-star rating, the proof is in the pudding. Guests on the tour particularly love that the guides are knowledgeable about the history of each dish. Far beyond just sampling delicious eats, the tour is an educational experience through Italian cuisine, closely rooted in the country's history and past struggles. The free-flowing wine shouldn't be taken lightly; many tour-goers say their cups consistently stayed full of quality Italian vino.

Another highlight is that, while many food tours are walking around and jumping from place to place, this one, in true Italian fashion, solely involves sit-down restaurants, where guests of the tour have the opportunity to truly take their time and savor the food.

Operated by Intrepid Travel

Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and some friends. On that trip, they came up with the idea that perhaps others may be interested in this style of travel too. Just like that, Intrepid was born. Intrepid has come a long way since then, now giving over 100,000 travelers a year the opportunity to experience small group travel across all 7 continents. They use local transport, sleep in local accommodation from Cambodian stilt houses to Moroccan riads, and employ 100% local leaders. With three different travel styles including basix, original and comfort, themes ranging from cycling trips to family holidays, and itineraries crafted with the perfect balance of must-see sights and free time, Intrepid caters to every type of traveller no matter their age, budget or travel style. The company has grown but their mission remains the same: to change the way people see the world through sustainable, experience-rich travel

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in berlin worth it.

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Berlin and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What food is Berlin famous for?

There are so many delicious dishes, but two of the most iconic Berlin foods are currywurst and eisbein. Currywurst is an iconic treat made from pork sausage and curry powder. Eisbein—which translates to “ice leg”—is a traditional German dish that’s pickled ham hock that’s cured, boiled, then roasted. It’s typically served with Sauerkraut and potatoes.

Does Berlin have good food?

The best Berlin tour! Clara is so knowledgeable of history and shared her passion for history in such an engaging way. The food was delicious. The combo of walking, history, food, and drink is unbeatable! Thank you!

Lisa Cacciabaudo

My family and I have been on many Eating Europe food tours and we were excited to explore East Berlin with Clara as our guide today! We learned so much and tasted so many delicious foods and drinks at places we likely wouldn’t have found on our own! Highly recommend to anyone who’s excited to dive into Berlin’s local food, beer and culture.

Belinda K

Interesting tour of the food culture and history around East Berlin. It’s an edgy part of the City - shows the alternative side of Berlin. As we went on a Sunday - visited lots of Flea markets and shown where the interesting Clubs were. Tasted lots of food that presented the many immigrants to Germany over the period. Well worth tour. Lots of tastings and walking - go hungry in a good pair of walking shoes!

Nicole Wright

Our booking could have canceled because there were just two of us, but instead we probably got the best tour ever! The food was delicious. It was great experiencing foods from the different cultures represented in Berlin. The drinks were equally as great and may have found new beer drinks for my cousin who didn’t like beer at all. However, the best part of the tour was Clara!! She was so knowledgeable about the history of East Berlin, Berlin in general, and the various war times in the country. She was patient with all of our picture stops. I can’t express my gratitude enough for showing us a unique piece of Berlin history

Kathryn Stuart

Clara was an awesome guide! Explored parts of Berlin we wouldn't have otherwise and likewise tried a heap of delicious food we wouldn't have found on our own. She even let us have a little shopping detour after we spotted a couple of cute boutiques. 11/10 would recommend.

Rachel Brown

We did this tour with one other couple and it was intimate and informative. The tour guide was hugely knowledgeable and we learned lots as well as ate great food. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get to know east Berlin in an authentic way

Andrea Richmond

Edan was a fabulous guide with lots of useful information about Berlin and the food was also delicious! Would highly recommend this tour whilst in Berlin.

Ben Banahan

This was a great tour that exceeded our expectations. We have done several food tours and expected this one to be similar to the others. We got a great sampling of Berlin food and drinks but also had an interesting historical tour of East Berlin and got to see a real community outside of the tourist downtown areas.

Scott Gaffney

I loved the mix of drinks, food, and just the right amount of history and sightseeing. It’s lovely to see East Berlin from the inside-out. I highly recommend it.

Isabelle Parker

We enjoyed our tour with Clara in Berlin. The food was good and we had a chance to see parts of Berlin off the tourist track. Through Clara’s stories (about history and food), we all learned more about this interesting city.

Erik Joustra

Lovely exploring tour of Eastern Berlin. Cultural Berlin food. Enjoyed the tourguide Clara. She even told me, the "historian", nee stories and facts. Highly recommended

Hailey Morton

All of the food on the tour was excellent and Clara was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. It was great to get out of the city centre and visit Friedrichshain.

David Stirling Green

A complete afternoon of excellent tastes and insights on the culture and history of a complex city from the eyes of the kind and knowledgeable soul Clara. Must do.

Cheryl E

Clara lead a great tour. She was informative, knew the city well and guided us to some great eating places.

This wasn’t my first trip to Berlin however there was plenty of new and undiscovered places to see and learn about this multi-cultural city

Jess W

Our tour leader was Clara and she was amazing! She was fabulous at explaining the complex history of Berlin, as well as explaining what we were eating and drinking! The food was all delicious and gave us a great idea of how multicultural Berlin is! The area that the tour takes place is really cool and not somewhere we would have known to go on our own! Well worth the money, and a great activity that shouldn’t be missed whilst visiting Berlin!

Millions of voters in states across the country cast their ballots in the presidential primary on Super Tuesday, leaving little doubt that the November election will be a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.

But in a race that is increasingly inevitable, a New York Times/Siena College poll found a critical group of voters who are making the outcome of that race anything but certain.

Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, explains who these voters are and why they present a particular threat to Mr. Biden.

EU working on creating maritime humanitarian corridor to support people in Gaza

European Commission president Usrula von der Leyen is due to travel to Cyprus later this week as the bloc is working towards establishing a possible humanitarian corridor in support of the population in Gaza through the Mediterranean island, her spokesperson said on Wednesday.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen (C-R) talks to TV reporters as she arrives for the European People's party congress in Bucharest, Romania, on Wednesday.

“Our efforts are focused on making sure that we can provide aid to Palestinians,” the spokesperson said during a briefing with journalists, reports Reuters. The spokesperson added: “We all hope that this opening [of the corridor] will take place very soon.”

Summary of the day so far

It is 5.20pm in Gaza , Tel Aviv and Beirut, and 6.50pm in Tehran. Here is a recap of the latest developments from today:

Three days of negotiations with Hamas over a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages failed to achieve a breakthrough on Tuesday, Egyptian officials said . According to AP, two Egyptian officials said Hamas presented a proposal that mediators would discuss with Israel in the coming days. One of the officials said that mediators would meet on Wednesday with the Hamas delegation, which had not left Cairo.

US President Joe Biden called on Hamas on Tuesday to accept a Gaza ceasefire deal by the Muslim holy month of Ramadan . Envoys from Hamas and the US have been meeting Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Cairo for negotiations over a six-week truce.

It came as Republican presidential frontrunner and former US president Donald Trump expressed his support for Israel’s war in Gaza on Tuesday, in his most explicit comments yet on the fighting. When asked during an interview on Fox News if he was “in Israel’s camp.” he responded “Yes”.

A 14-truck food convoy – the first by the UN World Food Programme (WFP) since it paused deliveries to northern Gaza on 20 February – was turned back by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday after a three-hour wait at the Wadi Gaza checkpoint. According to the WFP, it then turned to airdrops: “Earlier today, with the help of the Royal Jordanian air force, WFP food supplies for 20,000 people (6 tons) were dropped in northern Gaza.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday that hunger and malnutrition were on the rise among children, breastfeeding women, and pregnant women in Gaza. It added: “The need for access to humanitarian aid is dire.”

International development charity ActionAid has warned that the aid system in Gaza is “at the brink of total collapse” and reported that a “sharp increase in malnutrition” in Gaza had led to an increase in deaths among children and cases of stillborn babies. In a statement from the charity, Dr Mohammed Salha, director of al-Awda hospital, ActionAid’s partner in northern Gaza, said: “There are many operations that have been performed, like caesarean sections to remove foetuses, [which] died due to malnutrition among women.”

UN experts condemned the violence they say was unleashed by Israeli forces last week on Palestinians gathered in Gaza City to collect flour as a “massacre”. In a statement , a group of UN special rapporteurs accused Israel of “intentionally starving the Palestinian people in Gaza since 8 October,” adding: “Now it is targeting civilians seeking humanitarian aid and humanitarian convoys.”

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, posted a video to social media about malnutrition affecting the youngest children in Gaza , alongside the message “children who survived bombardment but may not survive a famine”. He called for more aid for the beseiged Gaza Strip and a ceasefire.

86 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours, said the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry on Wednesday . According to the statement, at least 30,717 Palestinians have been killed and 72,156 have been injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October. The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.

The US called on Iran on Wednesday to dilute all of the uranium it has enriched to up to 60% purity , close to the weapons-grade level of roughly 90%, in a statement denouncing many of Tehran’s recent nuclear moves. The news agency, Reuters said it had seen a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

David Cameron is to tell the Israeli cabinet minister Benny Gantz that UK patience is wearing thin at the lack of humanitarian aid reaching the people of Gaza at a meeting in London on Wednesday. The UK foreign secretary said that Israel , as the occupying power, had a duty under international humanitarian law to supply aid.

An internal UN report describes widespread abuse of Palestinian detainees in Israeli detention centres , including beatings, dog attacks, the prolonged use of stress positions and sexual assault. The report was compiled by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA).

23 Palestinians were detained by Israeli security forces in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Wednesday, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Canada will restore funding to the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA), a government official has told the Associated Press. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation first reported that Canada will restore funding and that international development minister, Ahmed Hussen would announce the decision on Wednesday, but the unnamed government official told the AP that the announcement had been delayed.

Israel has again insisted that the failure to get humanitarian aid into Gaza is being caused by issues with supply, rather than any delays caused by Israeli inspections, reported Al Jazeera. Speaking on Israel’s I24NEWS, Shimon Freedman, a spokesperson for the Israeli COGAT unit, said “Israel is inspecting more aid than the international community can distribute. The real issue is for the organisations to increase their capacity so we can see more humanitarian aid making its way to the people of Gaza.”

One civilian was killed and ten wounded by US-UK airstrikes in Yemen in February, the first recorded instances of non-combatants being killed during the Anglo-American bombing campaign against the Houthis that began on 12 January.

The Houthis mistakenly sank a ship, the Rubymar, in the Red Sea it believed to be British owned when its only link to the UK was an insurance cover that is now being disputed by the insurers. The cargo ship sank on Saturday with 21,000 metric tonnes of ammonium phosphate sulphate fertiliser on board . It had been taking on water since a Houthi missile strike on 18 February damaged its hull .

Maritime security firm Ambrey on Wednesday reported an “explosion” near a Barbados-flagged, US-owned bulk carrier transitting south-west of the Yemeni port city of Aden. Ambrey cautioned other ships to steer clear of the bulker which matches the “targeting profile” of Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report of an incident 54 nautical miles south-west of Aden, in Yemen , according to a post on its X account. The UKMTO said authorities are investigating.

Dan Sabbagh

According to figures compiled by the Yemen Data Project, a conflict monitoring group, a civilian was killed and seven injured in a single strike on a telecommunications site in Maqbanah district of Taiz on 24 February.

A further 2 civilians were recorded injured in a strike on a pesticide factory in Sana’a, also on 24 February, while another injured civilian recorded on 2 February in a strike on a farm in the Abs district of Hajja. The descriptions appear to match strikes conducted by the US, rather than the UK.

In total the NGO counted 79 US and UK strikes compared with 33 in January. The maximum number of individual munitions used similarly rose from 69 in January to 186 a month later.

Patrick Wintour

The Houthis mistakenly sank a ship, the Rubymar, in the Red Sea it believed to be British owned when its only link to the UK was an insurance cover that is now being disputed by the insurers. The ship is predicted to cause severe environmental damage.

Both the British government and Centcom acknowledged that the Rubymar had limited British links but it emerged that the owner of the ship’s reported address – a private apartment inside a residential block of flats in Southampton recorded in the Equasis public database – has not been owned by Rubymar’s owner, a Lebanese businessman, Hassan Chahadah.

According to a report in Lloyd’s List, the operator of the vessel is a Lebanese registered company, incorporated in the Marshall Islands and ultimately owned by Lebanese national Captain Wael Chahadah. The crew, who were forced to abandon ship after the missiles struck and the bulker started taking on water, were Egyptian, Syrian and Filipino. The flag authorities investigating the incident are in Belize City.

There is now a dispute between the ship’s owners and its insurers whether the insurance had been withdrawn due to the risks of sailing in the Red Sea, leaving it unclear how money is to be raised to pay for the expected environmental damage.

The cargo ship ‘Rubymar’ sank after it was targeted by Yemen’s Houthi forces in international waters in the Red Sea.

Thomas Miller Specialty, a commercial Managing General Agency, had advised on 13 February their reinsurers were no longer able to support war risks exposures within the Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden and southern Red Sea. The ship was sunk after that date, but it is unclear precisely when the notice withdrawing insurance came into effect.

Rubymar was carrying 21,000 tons of ammonium phosphate sulphate fertiliser from the United Arab Emirates to Bulgaria and had been chartered by Saudi Arabian commodities and mining company Ma’aden.

The ship finally sank on 2 March. The owners had been trying for a week to hire salvors in a bid to prevent the ship from causing further environmental damage, but the owners could not find a salvage company that would operate without an explicit written agreement that they would be protected by a naval protection force. No agreement was reached before the ship finally sank.

The ship lies approximately 30km west of Yemen’s Red Sea port of Mokha, opening questions as to responsibility for the required clear up.

The dispute came after the Houthi authorities said any ship passing the Yemen coast in the Red Sea will now need explicit Houthi permission to travel from its Maritime Affairs Authority.

In a sign of a fresh Houthi strike an explosion was heard in the vicinity of a Barbados-flagged, US-owned cargo ship off the port of Aden in southern Yemen, the British security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday.

The ship was hit approximately 57 nautical miles south-west of Aden. It reportedly was hailed by an entity declaring itself to be the “Yemeni Navy” and ordered to alter course.

Vessels in the vicinity reported a loud bang and a large plume of smoke, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said.

The British embassy said the Houthis had now tried to hit 60 ships covering 40 countries.

Canada will restore funding to the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) , a government official has told the Associated Press (AP), weeks after the agency lost hundreds of millions of dollars in support following Israeli allegations against some of its staffers in Gaza . According to the AP, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation first reported that Canada will restore funding and that international development minister, Ahmed Hussen would announce the decision on Wednesday. But the government official told the AP the announcement had been delayed, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to comment on the matter. Canada’s foreign minister is in the Middle East and plans to visit Israel , added the report.

'Sharp increase in malnutrition' in Gaza has led to an increase in deaths among children and cases of stillborn babies, says charity

International development charity ActionAid has warned that the aid system in Gaza is “at the brink of total collapse”.

In a statement from the charity, Dr Mohammed Salha , director of al-Awda hospital , ActionAid’s partner in northern Gaza, said “a sharp increase in malnutrition” had led to an increase in deaths among children and cases of stillborn babies:

Many cases were recorded in government hospitals of children who died due to malnutrition. We are a hospital specialised in women’s services and childbirth. There are many operations that have been performed, like caesarean sections to remove foetuses, [which] died due to malnutrition among women. More than 95% of women [who] come to the hospital and undergo the necessary medical examinations [are suffering] from anemia.”

Al-Awda hospital – the only hospital with maternity services in northern Gaza – was supplied two days ago with fuel by the WHO , but it is only enough to last for two weeks, said ActionAid. It also added that the hospital did not receive a supply of medicines.

Since aid convoys started entering Gaza at the end of October, about 70% of all humanitarian assistance has crossed the border with Egypt into Rafah , says ActionAid. “It is also where many aid agencies are headquartered meaning that any ground offensive will spell complete catastrophe for over two million people in Gaza,” it warned.

In recent days, the Hamas -run Gaza health ministry reported that 15 children had died of malnutrition and dehydration at Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza.

A Palestinian child suffering from malnutrition receives treatment at a healthcare centre, amid widespread hunger in the Gaza Strip.

Buthaina Sobeh , director of Wefaq , ActionAid Palestine ’s partner in Gaza, said:

All the aid that crosses into the Gaza Strip from the Rafah crossing in the south through the Egyptian crossing does not meet [people’s] needs. There are groups that suffer [a lot of] difficultly, such as newly born children, as there are no diapers or milk, the price of a box of diapers has become 200 shekels [£43.88]. Most families here depend on tinned food, and this has caused many problems. We need hot meals, such as vegetable [dishes], to be provided to families to meet their basic needs. Also, medication is not available for most patients, especially cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and dialysis patients. The needs of women, children and people in general are [very high]. The capabilities that reach the Gaza Strip are very small and hardly meet these increasing needs.”

“With the IPC potentially announcing next week that pockets of Gaza are facing famine, an already overwhelmed aid system will be unable to respond while many more continue to face extreme hunger,” said Riham Jafari , advocacy and communications coordinator at ActionAid Palestine.

Concluding the statement, ActionAid called for Israel to “open reliable and safe entry points for aid to flow at scale into Gaza, with no denials, delays or barriers” and for “an immediate and permanent ceasefire”.

“If people in Gaza don’t die from the bombs, they will likely die from starvation,” said Jafari. “This is not a reality anyone should face; we are urging the international community to act now to end this senseless cycle of violence and suffering.”

US urges Iran to dilute all its near-weapons-grade uranium - Reuters report

The US called on Iran on Wednesday to dilute all of the uranium it has enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the weapons-grade level of roughly 90%, in a statement denouncing many of Tehran ’s recent nuclear moves, reports Reuters.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a confidential report to member states last week that Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% had fallen slightly in the past quarter as it had diluted, or “downblended”, more of its most highly enriched material than it had produced.

Iran still has enough of that material, if enriched further, to fuel two nuclear weapons by a theoretical IAEA definition, and enough for more bombs at lower enrichment levels, the report seen by Reuters showed.

“Iran should downblend all, not just some, of its 60% stockpile, and stop all production of uranium enriched to 60% entirely,” the US said in a statement on Iran to a quarterly meeting of the 35-nation IAEA board of governors.

It is not clear why Iran downblended the material. It denies seeking nuclear weapons and says it has the right to enrich to high levels for civil purposes. Western powers say there is no credible civil justification for enriching to such high levels.

“We continue to have serious concerns related to the stockpile of highly enriched uranium that Iran continues to maintain,” the US statement said.

“No other country today is producing uranium enriched to 60% for the purpose Iran claims and Iran’s actions are counter to the behavior of all other non-nuclear weapons states party to the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty),” it added.

The US also condemned various moves by Iran, many of which the IAEA has also criticised, such as barring some of the IAEA’s most experienced and expert inspectors last year.

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , the director-general of the World Health Organization , has posted a video to social media about malnutrition affecting the youngest children in Gaza , alongside the message “Children who survived bombardment but may not survive a famine”. He called for more aid for the beseiged Gaza Strip and a ceasefire.

Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that 23 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli security forces in the Israeli-occupied West Bank today.

Israel has again insisted that the failure to get humanitarian aid into Gaza is being caused by issues with supply, rather than any delays caused by Israeli inspections.

Al Jazeera reports that speaking on Israel’s I24NEWS, Shimon Freedman , a spokesperson for the Israeli COGAT unit, said “Israel is inspecting more aid than the international community can distribute. The real issue is for the organisations to increase their capacity so we can see more humanitarian aid making its way to the people of Gaza .”

The UN’s refugee agency for Palestine is among international aid groups to have sharply disagreed with the assessment. The number of aid trucks being allowed to enter Gaza in February dropped from the level that had been entering in January, and the border crossing at Kerem Shalom has been the scene of repeated demonstrations by Israelis seeking to prevent any aid entering the Gaza Strip until Hamas releases the hostages it abducted on 7 October.

Here are some of the latest images on the newswires:

Explosion reported near vessel off Yemen, says maritime security firm

Maritime security firm Ambrey on Wednesday reported an “explosion” near a Barbados -flagged, US -owned bulk carrier transitting south-west of the Yemeni port city of Aden , reports AFP.

“A nearby vessel reported an explosion in the proximity of the Barbados-flagged, publicly US-owned, bulk carrier,” Ambrey said, cautioning other ships to steer clear of the bulker which matches the “targeting profile” of Yemen’s Iran -backed Houthi rebels.

The Houthis have vowed to strike Israeli , British and US ships as well as vessels heading to Israeli ports, disrupting traffic through the vital trade route off Yemen’s shores.

Before the latest reported attack, Ambrey said the bulk carrier was “hailed by an entity declaring itself to be the ‘Yemeni Navy’,” a title adopted by the Houthi rebels.

As mentioned on the live blog earlier , British maritime security agency UKMTO also reported an “attack” south-west of Aden, without elaborating.

The attacks have caused several major shipping firms to suspend passage through the Red Sea, which usually carries about 12% of global trade.

At least “15 commercial ships have been impacted” since November, including four US ships, US department of defence spokesperson Pete Nguyen said on Friday, reports AFP.

The US and UK have since January launched repeated strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the ship attacks.

My colleague, the Guardian’s Jerusalem correspondent Bethan McKernan has written a piece on Jerusalem’s Old City as Ramadan nears. You can read the full piece at the link below:

Bab Hutta, a neighbourhood in Jerusalem’s Old City, lies right outside the gates to the most contested religious site in the world – the Temple Mount, or al-Haram al-Sharif.

Normally, the area is one of the most beautiful places in the city for Ramadan celebrations, covered in strings of festive lights and lanterns that take about 30 volunteers several weeks to set up. This year, there are no decorations, and the narrow passageways of the Muslim Quarter are quiet. About half of the usually lively souvenir shops and restaurants are closed; on some streets, there are more Israeli border police officers than civilians.

The holy month of fasting and feasting is expected to begin on 10 March, but with war in Gaza raging, and tensions in annexed East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank at boiling point, there is little for Palestinians to celebrate.

“It is difficult to fast or eat when we think about our people in Gaza , who are starving,” said Bab Hutta resident Zeki al-Basti, 54. “There were no Christmas celebrations, and there will be no Easter celebrations, as long as the war continues … All we can do is pray.”

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has received a report of an incident 54 nautical miles south-west of Aden , in Yemen , according to a post on its X account.

The UKMTO said authorities are investigating. We will post more details as they come in.

UKMTO WARNING INCIDENT 046 ATTACK https://t.co/auxAKdReZU #MaritimeSecurity #MarSec pic.twitter.com/2QQ0CG8v9T — United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) (@UK_MTO) March 6, 2024

The sinking of a bulk carrier off the coast of Yemen after a Houthi missile attack poses grave environmental risks as thousands of tonnes of fertiliser threaten to spill into the Red Sea, officials and experts have warned.

Leaking fuel and the chemical pollutant could harm marine life, including coral reefs, and affect coastal communities that rely on fishing for their livelihoods, they said.

The Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated Rubymar sank on Saturday with 21,000 metric tonnes of ammonium phosphate sulphate fertiliser on board , according to US Central Command (Centcom).

It had been taking on water since a Houthi missile strike on 18 February damaged its hull , marking the most significant impact on a commercial ship since the rebels started targeting vessels in November.

WFP say a 14-truck food convoy was turned back by the IDF on Tuesday

According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP) , a 14-truck food convoy – the first by the WFP since it paused deliveries to northern Gaza on 20 February – was turned back by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) after a three-hour wait at the Wadi Gaza checkpoint .

“Although today’s convoy did not make it to the north to provide food to the people who are starving, WFP continues to explore every possible means to do so,” said Carl Skau , WFP’s deputy executive director in a statement issued by the UN agency.

The WFP say that after being turned away the trucks were rerouted and later stopped by a “large crowd of desperate people who looted the food, taking about 200 tons, from the trucks”. Road routes are the only option to transport the large quantities of food needed to avert famine in northern Gaza , said the humanitarian agency.

With the 14-truck food convoy being turned back, the WFP turned to airdrops, it said: “Earlier today, with the help of the Royal Jordanian air force, WFP food supplies for 20,000 people (6 tons) were dropped in northern Gaza.”

🆕 #Gaza : After a 14-truck convoy was turned away today, WFP food for 20,000 people was dropped into northern Gaza with support of the Jordanian Air Forces. WFP is determined to do whatever it takes to reach people in need. ⚠️ But to avert famine, we must have access by road. — World Food Programme (@WFP) March 5, 2024

“Airdrops are a last resort and will not avert famine. We need entry points to northern Gaza that will allow us to deliver enough food for half a million people in desperate need,” Skau said.

The WFP said hunger in the north of Gaza had reached “catastrophic levels” and warned that “children are dying of hunger-related diseases and suffering severe levels of malnutrition”. The UN agency called for “more entry points into Gaza, including from the north, and the use of Ashdod port”, as well as a ceasfire.

“A ceasefire in Gaza is urgently needed to enable an operation of this size. With greater safety for humanitarian staff to move food and other supplies regularly throughout the Strip and with routes in from the north, WFP and its partners can prevent famine,” it added.
