There are countless flea markets all around the world, and they are especially popular
in Europe. One of the busiest markets in Europe is in the town of Lille, Northern France: La
Braderie. With two hundred kilometres of open air stalls, this flea market offers a massive
diversity of things to buy at reduced prices. Unfortunately, this amazing event, which has
over a million visitors, is only an annual event which happens during the first weekend of
September. Another shopper’s paradise is in Russia. Moscow has many flea markets but the
Vernisazh flea market at Izmailovsky Park is perhaps the most famous. There is almost
nothing that you can’t find there, especially if you are a tourist looking for authentic Russian
souvenirs to bring back home.
But flea markets are not just places where tourists can buy inexpensive things. The
Annex Antiques Fair and Flea Market in New York, USA is a trendy market which has
been attracting famous Hollywood stars as well as people living in the area ever since it
opened. So, as you see, flea markets offer something for everyone!
