There is a wide range of markets to be discovered in South Africa popular with both locals and tourists. Often these markets are a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture. One such market is the Victoria Street Market in Durban. This market is an indoor market with over 170 different stalls set on 2 floors which is open 7 days a week with parking available under the building.

In Cape Town you can find the Old Biscuit Mill Market popular with the young and trendy in Cape Town. This market is open every Saturday from 09h00 to 14h00 but be warned this market gets very busy and parking can be difficult close by. Our advice is to get their early to find a parking space. The market sells lots of produce and homemade goodies and has a really good vibe.

The Welwitschia Country Market is located just 1km from the popular holiday resort of Hartbeespoort Dam in the North-West Province of South Africa. The market has over 40 shops set under the shadow of some lovely old trees with even an aviary in the middle to amuse the children. The market is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 09h00 to 17h00.

On the first Saturday of every month the Green Market in Pretoria is the place to be to discover everything that is eco-friendly. Or check out the Bryanston and Organic Natural Market with its wholesome food stalls and arts and crafts - open Thursday to Saturdays from 0900 to 15h00.
