Must see shopping in Sierra Leone

The top floor of the Big Market, or Basket Market, in downtown, has a larger selection than markets in Lumley. What makes this the best place to shop for…

This is the place to find colourful local wax cloths and gara (Sierra Leonean tie-die), as well as get custom outfits made.

The Lumley Beach Arts & Crafts Market is a decent place to pick up woodcarvings, baskets and other souvenirs.

Crammed with fruit and vegetable stalls, street food vendors and second-hand clothes, this is one of the city's busiest markets.

This small collection of stalls sells everything from second-hand clothes to cooking equipment.

A busy street market in central Freetown.
