I walked around on a Saturday afternoon. Lovely walk. Just one complain couldnt find any chillies. Hehehe. Otherwise the market full of vegetables, art and craft. So go enjoy. What suprised me was how vendors just left produce and products and left for the weekend. Like not even locked. Just covered. If it was my country in a few hours everything would go missing. Lol

Interesting local food, fresh fruits, stunning flower arrangements. Good if you want to get some gifts to take home.

Visited here the day Samoa beat England in the Rugby League World Cup semi final. The place was going off with horns blaring all around the markets. Everyone was very friendly and there is a huge selection to choose from.

Attending this market you get the real feel of Samoa, a great place to purchase a bargain and have a good laugh with the locals, who are always friendly.

Handy location for travellers near banks and commercial town centre, also next to the bus depot, if you use that for transport

A bit dingy and dirty , so much rubbish on the ground . The locals really don't consider their environment and drop rubbish everywhere around Apia
We did try Samoan pancakes in the market which were yummy

I understand so but maybe not Sunday? Most places are closed Sunday.
Hi Lani, I see that you visited February 2016, I thought the market had burnt down, does this mean it's back up and running again, is it still in the same place? Same stalls?
