Review:
Papeete Market is the number one attraction in Papeete and is also the oldest institution on the island still operating today. The market has been around since 1850 and has been in the same location since 1869. The market was completely redesigned to be The New Market in 1987 which tripled the size of the property to take up an entire city block and added a mezzanine where crafters can set up their booths. The market opens very early, including at 3 am on Sundays. Vendors carry everything from meats and produce to craft, wood carvings, art, textiles, artisanal items, and more.
