    Municipal Market

    The modern buildings of the Municipal Market give it a more formal feel than the hectic market in Lilongwe; it's still worth a visit even if you don't want to buy anything.

    Central Bookshop

    For a much wider selection than TBS, visit this bookshop. It stocks stationery, books and guides about Malawi, local-language dictionaries and a good range of novels by local writers. There's also a pleasant coffee shop.
