Intro
Flea markets are always a pleasant change from the “normal” shopping way. In almost every city and community there are now small and large flea markets. Flea markets mostly take place in the warmer months of the year, particularly in spring and summer. But still, the cold temperature of the winter months is no deterrent to many sellers, like this flea market in the snow in Oslo!
There are also, of course, considerable differences between flea markets, in terms of size, the number of stalls and visitors, quality of items for sale (antiques, junk, vintage, electro, etc), accessibility, prices, etc. But every one of them always produces this exciting feeling to the adventurous visitor who enters it.
We have listed the 20 best flea markets in Germany by major cities, based on our own experience, reviews, and feedback from sellers and buyers. These venues offer a relaxed and pleasant shopping atmosphere, each of them with its own touch, originality, history and tradition.
Whether they are in Berlin, Munich, Bremen, Frankfort, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Hanover, Dortmund, Cologne, Dresden or Leipzig, visitors can stroll along flea market stalls, while enjoying from a breath of fresh air. Browsing for old books and records, haggling for antiques, looking for toys, furniture and clothes, have never been more enjoyable, all the more so as there are wonderful bargains to be made!
