Why locals recommend it
In this dome-shaped building in the heart of the CBD, light pours in through the big windows and vendors try to lure you to their stalls. They sell everything here, from vegetables to meat. You’ll see lots of locals shopping here since it’s so much cheaper than the supermarkets. Just outside the market is a maze of small backstreets with people milling about and chatting. It’s worth exploring a little for a broader look at the street culture around the market.

Tips from locals
A must see, quirky building and a great choice of curios, beadwork, jewellery and west African artefacts. Ask to buy west African beads to be lead deeper into the world of trade beads.
