Bamenda Main Market
The market sits in the middle of Bamenda town, in the Commercial Avenue area, with sheds arranged along numbered lines.
Commercial Avenue
The main trading street beside the market. Banks, phone shops and offices run along it, and it is the easiest landmark to give a taxi driver.
City Chemist roundabout & Food Market
Two well-known points a short walk away. From either one, any bike rider will take you to the market gate in a few minutes.
Motorbike drops
Commercial bikes drop passengers at the market edges. Say the shed line or the goods you want — riders know the sections by name.
