Futungo Market

One of the largest handicraft markets in Angola is the Futungo market, just south of Luanda. It is the main hub of the handicraft trade for tourists and expatriates. The market is open only on Sunday. Most of the handicraft traders are Kikongo, although the craftsmen themselves hail from many different ethno-linguistic groups. Futungo also has the added advantage of being near the beautiful beaches to the south of Luanda, where many of Luanda's residents spend their weekends enjoying the sun and sand of Mussulo bay.
