Things to do nearInternational Market Place
International Market Place in Honolulu, Hawaii is an open-air shopping and dining destination blending island culture, local vendors, and tropical ambiance.
International Market Place has been a gathering point in Waikiki since the mid-twentieth century, originally a casual open-air bazaar beneath a sprawling banyan tree. Over the decades it evolved into a beloved community landmark before a thoughtful redevelopment restored and expanded the site while honoring its roots.
Today visitors explore three levels of open-air retail and dining set around lush tropical landscaping. The centerpiece remains the grand banyan tree, preserved and celebrated as a living piece of Honolulu history. Boutiques feature both national brands and locally owned shops carrying Hawaiian-made goods, apparel, and jewelry.
The dining options range from casual island fare to sit-down restaurants where chefs draw on Pacific Rim influences and fresh local ingredients. Outdoor seating areas let you linger over a meal while the trade winds move through the palms overhead.
The atmosphere throughout International Market Place is relaxed and distinctly Hawaiian, making it a natural stop for anyone spending time in Waikiki who wants to connect with the culture and flavor of Honolulu.
