Feira da Ladra Flea Market


I like antique but can only afford those from flea markets. The first vintage piece in my life is a butter case bought in Heidelberg flea market. At time, I hadn't developed the hobby of antique / vintage collection  but gradually. The butter case is still in use after many years.


On 1 May, we visited Feira da Ladra Flea Market in Lisbon. Yes, it was opened on the national holiday.  It's not insanely crowded.  Feira da Ladra is held every Tuesday and Saturday at Campo de Santa Clara, behind the monastery of Sao Vicente de Fora in Alfama.  The nice snapshots of the church were taken by my travel companion while I was browsing the vintage stuff.





I visited a flea market in Porto a few years ago.  It sold mainly second hand household products.  Feira da Larda is similar but product quality is higher. I've got a plate from Limoges and a little angel made of ceramics.  Nice and very good value, €2 and €0.5.





All kinds of household stuff, iron, books, electrical appliances, watches, etc. can be found in the flea market.  Below shows some examples.

Made in Japan


Don't miss a visit to Copenhagen Coffee Lab if you are nearby. The sourdough bread was excellent.  It kept fresh for a few days. The egg Benedict on the avocado sandwich is mouthwatering.
