This had changed a lot since I was here 17 years ago.There was much more new things-witch weren´t very good value,and much less old things.On the other hand-I saw no thiefs!Last time you couldn´t go through without notising them.We do like these places in some grazy way-I don´t know why.My husband even bought a pair of shorts there-and they are not so bad.I thought I would have bought a cheap summer-skirt,but they weren´t so nice as in Milan fleamarket(where I didn´t buy,because I knew we were coming here..).
If you like to go this kind of places,be careful.Even if we didn´t see any thiefs,I can´t believe,they are totally gone.There was policemen also,so maybe it´s getting better.Area is huge.We were planning to go to some other market as well,but this was enough for one day!

What to buy: You can find antiques there also.There is also some cheap clothes,dishes and other things,if you need something very cheap,and no need to last forever.But there was also for example leather-jackets,witch were very expensive.I´m not sure would I dare to buy hudreds of euros jacket from a market..

Address: Porta portese
Directions: At Trastevere-in east riverbunk.You will find it in many maps.
