Since you didn't really say, I'm presuming that you mean short story markets.
First step, if you can afford it get your hands on a copy of Writer's Market or subscribe to the online version. There are plenty of free market listings out there, but they are usually not as comprehensive as any of the ones that you have to pay for. If you can't spare the cash, many libraries carry the latest version in their reference section. It is okay to start with the free ones, just be aware you may quickly exhaust them.
For the print mags, send away for sample copies. Or, if you don't want to shell out any money, go to your local library and see if you can find some of them there.
Online magazines--that one should be self-explanatory.
Of course, you don't have to look at the magazines themselves and can just send a story in based on the guidelines, but you should do anything that will increase the chances of finding a buyer for your stories. Sometimes what market descriptions say the editors are looking for and what they actually print in the magazines is very different.
