Markets Experiences

Markets experiences

A flurry of life and busyness, local languages, and wafting spices, markets are often a gateway into the heart of a new destination. They are places to discover just who the locals are, what they love to chat about and eat - and to test out your haggling skills. From the bustling Maasai Market in Nairobi to the floating markets of Thailand, you’ll find yourself entranced by dazzles of colourful goings-on before almost certainly leaving with your pockets a little lighter!

Wander the Vilanculos markets and find some gems

A tiny, colourful town on Mozambique's sleepy southern coast, Vilanculos is a delight to wander through for a few hours and scratches any retail therapy itch with its bustling markets. Enjoy a stroll through the bright market stalls, browsing handmade items to remind you of your holiday by the sea and the scent of freshly fried crab wafting through the air. Grab some for a snack before making your choice of souvenirs.

Visit the temples and markets of central Kandy

This inspiring guided walk through begins by the tranquil lake where you'll hear stories of this ancient kingdom. Journey to the iconic UNESCO-awarded Temple of the Tooth, which houses one of the last remaining relics of Buddha. Gaze with fascination at the city square where a church sits side-by-side with a Kovil (Hindu temple) and the great Red Mosque. Quench your thirst at the lovely Empire Cafe before rounding things off at Kandy Market, which is full of weird and wonderful vegetables, fruits and spices - a true adventure for the senses!
