Marché des Fleurs

Top choice in Cameroon


A huge, atmospheric complex of roofed stalls selling crafts from around Cameroon, but mainly the grasslands region. You can buy wonderful masks, baskets, jewellery, batik clothes and tablecloths. On the airport-road side of the market, large ornamental garden plants are sold in glorious profusion, with cut-flower bouquets lining the Star Land Hotel side.

Catch a flavour of relaxed Douala at the row of cafes and beer bars in the market; you can eat grilled fish, ndole and fried plantains for around CFA2000.
