Feira da Ladra Flea Market
Lisbon's centuries-old flea market sprawling beside São Vicente in Alfama, Tuesdays and Saturdays.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling as a couple and you are traveling solo.
Why
- 01
A proper rummage — vintage azulejos, old vinyl, junk and the occasional find, with real local texture and a view-terrace at the edge.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: it only runs two days a week, plenty of it is genuine junk and tourist tat, and bargains take patience and haggling.
