Shop the Markets

Roam around the twisting streets to browse local vendors. Remember to always barter because often times the prices for the same thing can fluctuate. It's very common that the vendors will try to aggressively sell you on things, but just kindly tell them "No, ​"Shkran"" and walk on!
