Albert Market, Urban market in Banjul, Gambia.

Albert Market sits along Liberation Avenue with hundreds of stalls selling fresh produce, fabrics, hardware, and handcrafted goods arranged in narrow passageways. Different sections separate wholesale items, fresh produce, and goods made for visitors, allowing shoppers to move between categories as they browse.

The market was founded in the middle of the 1800s and named after Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, during British colonial rule. Established during this era, it became a central trading hub that continues to serve the city today.

The market's name honours Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, husband of Queen Victoria, from the colonial period. Vendors sell souvenirs and handicrafts to visitors, and the German sources note this trade in souvenirs and craftwork. A fire largely destroyed the market in 1986, and it was rebuilt afterwards.

The market is walkable and accessible daily since it sits directly on a main avenue with residential areas nearby. Come early in the day when fresh goods are most abundant, and wear sturdy shoes because the pathways are uneven and crowded.

The market was largely destroyed by fire in 1986 and rebuilt afterwards. Its official name, Royal Albert Market, honours Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, husband of Queen Victoria, and the site on Liberation Avenue has hosted traders since the mid-19th century.
