The pricing is the most part I don't like about this place

Lots of patience and top notch negotiating skills needed here. You can get frustrated and angry but the sellers are just trying to have a business. Always starts at 50% or slightly less of what they are offering and meet somewhere you're both comfortable at They EXPECT you to negotiate and will give you better deals when you buy more items. Great place for every single gift items, and souvenirs you could ever need.

We went to this market at night, so a lot of them were already closing but I had such a good time shopping for souvenirs. You have to bargain/hassle for price but ultimately the vendors were friendly and kind and entertaining even 😂 likely because we were the last customers for the day. If you’re ever in Accra you should visit.

I had great fun at the Centre for National Culture. I am impressed with the curious arts, designs and crafts of the people. With so much commitment to excellence and details to the letter. You will find enough things to buy - clothes, gift items, etc. You can also go there to learn about how to make these things. People here are friendly and accommodating (I didn't expect business people not to be calm, have listening ears, tough). The place is clean and yes, it's worth visiting.

It was nice to see all of the artwork, especially in the gallery. If you don't have a local with you, offer less than half for the opening price and don't pay more than 60% max. It's still a tourists price but that was a helpful rule when shopping here.
