Über diesen Tip
Itam Market, at Itam Junction, is a large local market for fresh fruit and vegetables, household goods and electrical items, with ready-to-eat street food around its stalls. Akpan Andem Market is another stop for cooking ingredients. Go in the morning, wear closed shoes and bring a reusable bag, since state agencies are urging traders to cut down on plastic. Ask your hotel or driver which market suits what you want.
