East Timor

Shopping in East Timor

  1. Fruit and Fish Markets

    East of the Palacio de Govierno along the waterfront are fruit and fish markets with prices that weaken as the smells strengthen.

    There's a large market at Taibessi, just south of the centre.

    Look for tropical fruits, sweet potatoes and betel nuts.
