Its an experience to have. But the vendors will nag you to the limit so need some nerves to handle. You can always visit the same market in a mall as well. But prices will be slightly higher. If you can fight the street vendors then you get good bargains for the local, handmade stuff. Bargain should start with half of what they ask. Keep in mind that every day of the week the market is on different locations in the city. No cards accepted. Better to carry local currency. They take US dollars as well.

Honestly reading the previous reviews I was quite worried about going to the market. We went on a Friday when it was at Village Market. Our experience was the opposite, of course the shop owners asking you to look at their stall, but they do not pressure or harass you into buying anything. We did not experience the ‘brokers’. Some items are such a reasonable price we didn’t even haggle, and other items we agreed on half the price. It was a great experience and we would go back.

Though I was here for a meeting, I manage to do some fun 'touristy' things! First of all, if you get the chance, you should visit Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club, even for a drink or lunch! The views are amazing! They have trails there as well so if you're in the hiking or walking gang. A must see is the Karura Forest as well, its simply breath-giving! We got to feed the giraffes - so graceful with the long necks! And I think I'm now a tea person!
