Kaneshie market

The Kaneshi markets Limited is a trading Centre in Kaneshie, Accra, Ghana. It was built in the 1970s. The name "Kaneshie" means "under the lamp" referring to its beginnings as a night market.During the 2015 Accra floods, the market was submerged and operations were forced to shut down.

Kaneshie Market is located along the main road heading west from Accra. It resembles Makola Market in many ways, with a bustling mix of stalls, shops, and street vendors selling almost anything you can think of. The market also serves as a key transportation point, where "trotros" and regional buses pick up and drop off passengers. That said, if you're visiting a market just for the experience, Makola is easier to reach.

Kaneshie also has services and dealers associated with vehicles and transport, as well as more formal fuel stations, supermarkets, pharmacies and other formal shops.
