Banjul - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

There are some craft markets and a couple of great painters. - Aug 2015


Meh. Some good art but overall you can find much better art and handicrafts elsewhere in West Africa. You can buy nice music instruments like a balafon and jimbeh though. Cheap too! - Jun 2014


Fabrics and woodwork; typical West African pieces. - Jun 2013


Traditional W Africa fare: masks, cloth, batiks, wooden carvings, some jewelry. - Sep 2011
