Aside from offering a wide array of wares — many of which make fantastic souvenirs — these marketplaces are also great for practicing your haggling, which adds even more fun to your retail experience. If you want to test your deal-striking skills, head to one of these street markets and get ready to shop until you drop.

Stanley Market
If you’re planning a day trip to the idyllic coastal town of Stanley, be sure to take a stroll through this partially covered market, which is especially popular with tourists. Our advice is to eschew the antiques — you can probably find better deals at Cat Street (Antiques) or other markets — and focus instead on clothes (the stores here often carry larger sizes that are difficult to come by elsewhere in the city), ornaments and pieces of art.
