Albert Market

Albert Market is the largest and most vibrant marketplace in Banjul, established in the colonial era and named after a British prince consort. Its crowded lanes overflow with fabrics, produce, spices, crafts, and imported goods, drawing shoppers from across the capital and beyond. The market has been a commercial heart of the city for well over a century and remains central to daily Gambian life. For visitors, it offers a sensory immersion in local trade, from batik cloth and wood carvings to fresh fish from the nearby Atlantic.
