This is the classic “Goa bazaar energy” experience—spices, local produce, textiles, souvenirs, and a lively rhythm that feels very different from mall shopping. For tourists, it’s one of the best places to see local everyday life: vendors calling out, colours everywhere, and stalls that show what Goans actually buy and eat. If you want authentic shopping (spices, local snacks, handicrafts) with a cultural vibe, this market is a strong pick.

History & highlights
The market is noted as Goa’s first planned market and was built in 1960, becoming a long-running commercial and social hub—especially famous for the Friday market tradition. Its history shows how Goa’s trading culture moved from informal street setups toward a planned civic marketplace while still keeping the same community-driven character.
