Green Market Known among its regular customers as the Bio Mark, this Saturday market has been around for nearly a decade and proves to all the fad-markets that consistency is rewarding. Here you can buy a weeks’ worth of organic veggies and other groceries, while supporting small businesses that sell jewellery and other crafts. The market’s coffee and cake is always popular. Buy a belegtes Brötchen and grab a seat at the café area before it fills up with cool and alternatively-minded Windhoekers.
