08 Grand Marche du Dantokpa
The largest city and economic center of Benin is Cotonou. It is also home to the largest open-air market in West Africa. Grand Marche du Dantokpa is a sprawling labyrinth covering 20 hectares. Anything you want, you will find in this busy market. See a variety of fish alongside plastic sandals. DVDs are next to live goats and African cloth displayed in kiosks beside spare car parts. Dantokpa market also offers you the chance to try local drinks and food. Haggling is expected as sellers inflate their prices, especially for foreigners. Even if you think the price is low, offer lower!
