  5. Coronation Market

    A bit further west, in the exhilarating pandemonium of Coronation Market , shoppers come face to face with the dynamic - and sometimes daunting - aspects of life in downtown Kingston. Stall after stall is stocked with every manner of bric-a-brac, from handmade tools to sound-system speakers. In negotiating with the vendors you'll need to penetrate their artful patois.

  6. Crafts Market

    Considerably more sedate than Coronation Market, the waterfront Crafts Market resides in an old iron building where you'll find dozens of stalls selling wickerwork, carvings, batiks, straw hats and other crafts - at prices somewhat lower than elsewhere on the island.
