1 . Flea market is an outdoor market that sells old or used goods at low prices. Here are four best ones in Europe.
Braderie de Lille--Lille, France
Dating back to the 12th century, Braderie de Lille is larger than any other flea market in Europe at nearly 100 kilometers of vendors (摊贩) as far as the eye can see. This market is annually held on the first weekend of September, and approximately 10, 000 exhibitors sell items from cheap articles to treasures.
EI Rastro Flea Market--Madrid, Spain
El Rastro Plea Market is a popular market in Madrid, with a history of over 400 years. It is held every Suinday and public holiday during the year. You can find second-hand articles for daily use, yet it can be difficult to find the perfect rare items.
Vrijmarkt Amsterdam--Amsterdam, Holland
This flea market is actually a car boot sale organized on King's Day. Since 1890, King's Day is a day of the year when the Dutch government allows sales on the streets without the payment of value-added tax. At the Vondel park, you can see kids selling their cast-off toys and books. Most of the time, these kids are handsomely paid by visitors.
Arezzo Flea Market—Arezzo, Italy
This market has been going on since 1968 and happens on the first Sunday of every month. If you are looking for a collection of antiques like old furniture, old-fashioned telephones, stained silverware, Roman coins and grandfather clocks, this is the perfect market to visit.
