    Good market for African gifts and souvenirs

    Good range of merchandise where you’ll be able to find African jewellery, decorations, cloths etc. Vendors are friendly and will try to convince you to buy things, but then why wouldn’t they. Some could start with ‘high’ prices but quickly drop it down so there...More

    I think the rooftop us only on Sundays, and the craft market is there all the time. The rooftop is much larger, but generally most of the items are similar.
