Albert Market
Banjul, Gambia
Albert Market is a vibrant marketplace in the heart of Banjul, housed in a large structure built in the 19th century. Designed for both locals and visitors, it showcases an array of goods, from fresh produce to traditional crafts, all under a bustling roof that reflects the market's historic significance.
Visiting early in the day provides the best experience, as vendors set up their stalls, and the atmosphere is lively with haggling and chatter. Don't miss the chance to sample some local delicacies from street vendors just outside. The nearby Independence Arch is a short walk away and adds to the context of the area.

“We had a fantastic half-day tour around Banjul with Sheriff as our guide and Sulaman driving for Black and White Safari. Pickup from the Senegambia Hotel was punctual, and they kindly dropped us off at our hotel afterward. During the tour, we visited several government buildings, climbed Arch 22, and explored the museum. We also stopped at a local crafts center where we gained insights into Gambian history and traditions. The tour concluded at the Royal Albert Market, where another knowledgeable guide joined us, enhancing our experience with entertaining stories. I appreciated that both guides never pressured us to make purchases; they emphasized it was entirely our choice. Overall, it was a wonderful day in Banjul, and I would definitely recommend this tour.”— Raluca_M on the Banjul city tour including Arch 22, Albert Market, and beach lunch tour
