Stabroek Market

Georgetown


One of the city's most prominent landmarks is Stabroek Market, a cast-iron building with a giant corrugated-iron clock tower. This frenetic and colorful market dates back to the late 1700s, although the current structure was built in 1880. Visiting is a must for sheer atmosphere, but don't bring any valuables and keep a grip on your bag.
