The Culture Trip Guide The Best Markets in Kigali

Walking through the neighborhood of Remera, you’ll eventually end up in Kimironko, home to a large covered market. Outside the main market, stalls sell everything from meat and fish to sunglasses and household items. But it is once you get inside the structure that you will see fruit and vegetable stands extending in every direction. Packed with carrots, onions, potatoes, lemons, cucumbers, herbs, spices, dried beans and anything else you can imagine in extraordinary abundance, there is no wonder why locals and visitors alike choose it for their grocery shopping. Hire one of the local guides to lead you around on your first visit and have fun.

Meaning ‘precious,’ ‘treasured’ or ‘excellent’ in Swahili, Azizi Life is not only a lovely boutique selling some of the most amazing handmade products. It exists to connect people providing mutual support to the participants while giving you the opportunity to meet some skillful artists and their communities in Rwanda. Its vision is a physical and spiritual wholeness for all, and in times like these, there is nothing more important. Purchase some unique crafts, ask for the shipping options and watch out for the signature tag with the name of the artisan group or individual who created your new treasure.
