About
Quick facts: This market is a central trading spot along an almost 1-kilometer-long street, lined with old columns and ruins. You will find lively stalls with souvenirs, handicrafts, and typical local snacks that bring the atmosphere of past times to life.
Highlights: At individual stalls, you will find handcrafted sandalwood figures and colorful fabrics from the region that are only available here in this quality. The panoramic view of the Victorian ruins at dusk, when the lights slowly come on, is an experience for all the senses.
Insider tips
- Wear light, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes for the cobblestones.
- Photograph the old columns against the light for atmospheric pictures.
- Avoid midday when the sun is strongest and most shops close for lunch.
- Be sure to try the fresh coconut juices and the spiced chips at the stalls.
