A vibrant, high-volume regional hub famous for wholesale foodstuffs, fresh farm produce, and budget household goods. While highly affordable, it is notoriously crowded and chaotic, especially on major market days

Adabraka Market is one of the oldest and most famous markets in Accra, best known for selling dried, smoked, and salted fish. Traders and shoppers from all over come here because the fish is high quality and sold at cheap wholesale prices. It is a great place to visit if you need affordable seafood for cooking at home.
