A true local market full of mamajuana(drink), ambar, larimar (stones), national products, coffee, sweets and souvenirs. Best prices but always offer 50% off asking price.

This market has so much that can be a little overwhelming but totally worth checking out, if you are looking for locally made gifts, you are bound to find something in this indoor/outdoor market. Anything from woodcarving, art, jewelry, clothing, to paper carnival mask.

Built in 1942, Santo Domingo’s largest market is also one of the city’s first tourist venues. Standing tall on Avenida Mella, a commercial hub on the northern edge of the Colonial City, this indoor and outdoor shopping bazaar adds even more color and culture to the historic district. Up a series of bright yellow painted steps, you’ll find an indoor maze of small, organized shops pulling you into a world of all things Dominican—from woodcarvings and paintings, to amber jewelry, and papier mâché carnival masks. Venture to the back of the market, where streetside stalls are brimming with the DR’s tropical fruits, vegetables, and seafood, and locals shop and haggle daily. Along the way, look out for typical Dominican botanicas selling secret health and love potions.
