Mercado Municipal Adolfo Lisboa

Manaus


Manaus' historic city market was inaugurated in 1882, a downscaled replica of Paris' famed Les Halles market. Safe and bustling, the central building has mostly handicraft shops, with wares ranging from predictable kitsch to high quality. A side building houses a working fish market – visit early in morning to see the vast array of Amazonian fish on display. Great little places to eat throughout.
