About
As one of Lisbon's oldest markets, Feira da Ladra is held twice weekly at Campo de Santa Clara in Alfama. Traders sell items like blankets, rugs, handmade crafts, and electronics. You can also find clothing, vintage goods, eclectic paintings, and the iconic azulejos (Portuguese tiles). Feira da Ladra is great for snagging good deals among the bric-a-brac and bargaining is possible here. Getting to the market is easy thanks to the yellow Tram 28, which you can enjoy for free with the Lisboa Card. After shopping, you can visit other top sights nearby like the National Pantheon, the Museum of Decorative Arts, or the Santa Engracia Church. – Tripadvisor

We went on a Tuesday and it was still large, hearing it is even bigger on Saturdays. So many things to see. One guy was selling an old WW2 Bomb sight. Still kicking myself for not buying but it was very expensive. My wife bought a few pictures. Apparently in Portugal they like new things not so keen on Antiques so they sell them. Where us North Americans love the antiques since our countries are so new in comparison.

I visited Portugal with my two adult children in this August and while there my daughter wanted to see the well known flee market. After walking around the outside part we then sat down in the cafe inside and stayed for a while enjoying the coffee and pastries. We then proceeded to get to our next destination and when I realized that I was missing my phone. I frantically returned to the flee market, hoping that somebody might had found it. It was a very trying moment since I had all my fond vacation photos and other important info stored on that phone. To my extreme delight I was told by one of the merchants that the phone was found and kept safe with Susanne (I'm sorry if the spelling is not correct) the organizer/manager of the place. She even went the extra steps and called my work at US to let them know that my phone was found and where it was. I'm grateful beyond words for what she did and was very happy to know that there are still very honest people around us. Once again, thank you so much Susanne and the market is definitely a wonderful place to visit, browse, and shop.

You shouldn't miss this. Very nice flea market, huge selection. And a fantastic view of the city and the sea! Don't miss the additional market for handicrafts and organic products on the terrace: Very nice things: individual jewelry, clothing, cork cheese. Great special souvenirs! For example, we bought magical earrings made of pressed flowers cast in resin from "Flovi". Never seen them before 🥰.
It's best to be there between 8:30 and 9:30, then everything is set up but not yet crowded - and not so hot!

Feira da Ladra in Lisbon is one of the most interesting attractions not only of the Alfama district, but also of the whole of Lisbon. The market takes place on Campo de Santa Clara and there you can find literally everything, from old bottles, through azulejo tiles, used clothes, handmade jewelry, old furniture, vinyl records, to memorabilia from the war or former Portuguese colonies. We will also find a wide selection of souvenirs from Portugal and Lisbon, new CDs and DVDs as well as audio and rtv equipment. The market takes place every Tuesday and Saturday, but Saturday is definitely more turistic. Therefore, definitely, if we want to see the more traditional side of the market, let's go to Feira da Ladra on Tuesday. There are few places that on the one hand have retained their traditional charm, and on the other are an interesting tourist attraction , Feira da Ladra undoubtedly has both of these features. After visiting, we can go to visit Alfama and allow ourselves to get lost in its narrow streets or spend a moment with an aromatic coffee in one of the numerous cafes.

Once again we return to Feira da Ladra; It is a traditional Lisbon fair that is now much better.
Behind the São Vicente de Fora Monastery.
In the market in the middle of it, which used to be closed, they have now placed several stalls with different artisans, where there are also toilets, something that didn't exist; It costs 1 euro to use.
It really is a trip back in time, as you see very old things.
You buy everything: clothes, household items, antiques,
It's very worth it!
Take Tram 28, at Praça Martim Moniz (in front of Hotel Mundial) or take a taxi (I prefer, as the tram is very crowded, with a huge queue).
The taxi costs 6 euros

If you love a flea market, this one is sprawling and varied, from antiques and records to Lisbon's famous tiles and various vintage fashion/homeware. Worth a meander around, with a pitstop in a nearby cafe when you get tired. Just wish I had travelled with more than a small cabin bag to bring home treasure!

It takes place in the streets and clearings behind the São Vicente de Fora monastery, between the Panteão Nacional and the Jardim Botto Machado. A classic flea market, of moderate size, where you can find everything, not only vintage and used objects (books, vinyl, furniture, ornaments, coins/medals and collectibles in general, etc.), but also crafts, clothing, souvenirs. However, nothing more than similar markets already seen in many other cities, both in Italy and abroad. The market takes place only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The stalls, as mentioned, are outdoors, along the streets/clearances, but there are also stands in a large covered building, which originally housed the Mercado de Santa Clara.

What a waste of time going to this place. Looked like everyone was selling their long dead relatives stuff from the loft, or tacky souvenirs. Do not bother going. Went mid week if that makes a difference.

When I was told about this market my expectations were "soso" based on the very few pictures I was shown. If you are British then its highly likely you would class this event as a car boot sale or similar. For me, a market needs to meet other criterias and this place just didnt do it. 90% of the goods are second hand in my opinion. If you like charity shop/car boot goods then this is definitely up your street. No food vendors or alike to grab a bite to eat or sit down (I ended up under a tree with a snack that I brought with me). The sea is in view so I decided to walk heading towards to harbour to explore which lead me to the highway and that was a wrap for me😐 Made my way back to my accomodation.

Is this flea market worth visiting? We are doing a tuk tuk tour and had planned on ending our day there if it is worthwhile. Thanks in advance for your help.

Does anyone know if the market will be open on 5 October this year please? It's a Saturday, but it's also a public holiday.
Thank you!
Written October 1, 2019
I was told by one of the vendors that the market is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I would think that since it is a public holiday that it would be a good day for the market. Its worth at least stopping by to check out.

Non riesco a capire in che giorni è possibile trovare questo mercato. Alcuni forum dicono martedì e domenica, altri invece martedì e sabato. Qualcuno che c'è stato di recente può illuminarmi? Sarò a Lisbona domenica 2 settembre e mi piacerebbe visitarlo. Grazie a tutti

Ciao ghost non ci andare.Tempo sprecato non c’è niente di particolare.La cosa più bella è il mercato del pesce che è coperto e c’è tutti i giorni.Il sabato ci sono i venditori di vestiti, il martedì non lo so ma vendono le stesse cose che vendono sulle spiagge.
C’è molto di meglio da fare ... la cappella delle ossa x esempio

Do they sell fake designer products here? Like sunglasses,handbags, runners?
Written April 13, 2018
There were some knock-off runners - fake "Chucks" - but not much else looked fake - maybe some DVDs were ripped. Lots of "vintage" clothing!! =)

Campo Santa Clara is 1.8 km from Rossio ( main square ) Google says 24 minutes. You MUST walk everywhere around Lisbon. You see Nothing on the metro.
