Bamako Sights

Sights in Bamako

  1. A

    Marché de Medina

    The charm of this market is that few tourists reach here, so you're unlikely to be hassled. It's also a good place to buy second-hand clothes and if you have a few hours spare, you can get your hair braided or your hands and feet decorated with henna in the 'beauty parlour' section.

    Fetish Stalls

    The Fetish Stalls, near the Maison des Artisans, are not for the faint-hearted, offering up a stomach-turning array of bones, skins, dried chameleons and rotting monkey heads.
