FLOHMARKT AM MAUERPARK<br />

Why:<br />

This market has been around since 2004. It<br />

may be a newbie compared to some of the<br />

markets listed here but it will still leave you<br />

satisfied if you're on a thrifty trinket hunt.<br />

Source items to spice up the wardrobe or<br />

home and this includes retro threads, local<br />

designer T-shirts, shoes, vintage vinyl and<br />

offbeat stuff. If you're hungry from all that<br />

neck-craning and price-haggling, grab a curry<br />

bratwurst and refuel yourself :)<br />

Where: Bernauer Strasse, Berlin, Germany<br />

When: Sunday, 9am-6pm<br />

HELL’S KITCHEN FLEA MARKET<br />

Why:<br />

If patience is something you lack, flea markets in<br />

general might not be a good option to purchase<br />

items because flea markets require a little more<br />

effort and strength especially in digging and<br />

negotiating the final price on your desired item. At<br />

this market, you will find that furniture, vintage<br />

clothing, jewellery and retro decorative items are<br />

negotiable. Worth the effort if you don't want to<br />

break the bank.<br />

Where: West 39th Street between 9th & 10th Avenues, New<br />

York, USA<br />

When: Saturday and Sunday, 9am-5pm<br />

MERCAT DE LA BOQUERIA<br />

Why:<br />

La Boqueria has become the most emblematic<br />

of all Barcelona’s markets, having been born<br />

from a travelling market. Today, the structure,<br />

the situation and atmosphere make it a mustsee<br />

for many tourists. It is an impressive,<br />

colourful market with fruit and vegetable<br />

stands, tapas bars and Spain's Catalan cuisine.<br />

Where: La Rambla, Barcelona, Spain<br />

When: Monday to Saturday, 8am-8:30pm<br />
