Every year I look forward to this flea market. One of the great things about this city is the…read moreannual neighborhood flea markets that happen across various city neighborhoods. It's a great way to get to know your city and also pick up some great bargains. Typically held during spring and summer it's an event most locals look forward to. Centered around Wörthstraße the Haidhausen flea market is quite big and loads of residents put out their wares. Tons of clothes, toys, household items and knick knacks about. Don't hesitate to bargain, it is expected ;-)) I always do anyway, it's in my blood "born to negotiate" lol Loads of cafes in the area and you can pop in for coffee or lunch and make a day of it. One of my top three markets in town and one that I try not to miss each year :-)) muenchen.de is the website to find out when all the flea markets around Munich are. If the weather is good it's a fabulous way to spend a day in town.

A wonderful neighbourhood flea market. It was my first time at this particular one and the…read moreatmosphere was insane. So many people out browsing and buying and loads of families and sellers with their wares out in the courtyards and street selling. The only downside was that there was too much clothes and less of other things. The prices were also very reasonable at most of the places. I love this area of town as it has some great cafes and bars and with the added attraction of the flea market this place really comes alive. I will definitely be back again at this one. We bought some things really cheap and there was so much we left behind as we did not have room in our apartment to put it :-( Besides Schwabing this would be one of the better and bigger ones to go to. Fabulous :-)

This is my favourite flea market in Munich. It happens twice a year and the residents of Schwabing,…read morerich and ordinary people like me, put out our wares and junk we have collected over the years, for junk collectors to come and buy. Bargaining is a must and, you can also try lots of homemade delicacies and buy lemonade and drinks from kids. The thing I love most about these markets is the opportunity to step into inner courtyards of some of the most exquisite building in Munich and it's really quite cool. Usually most of these courtyards are inaccessible to people other than residents and their guests. The quality of the merchandise is also pretty good and it's a huge market covering many sections of Schwabing. There is something for everyone. I wouldn't miss it for the world ;-)) I bookmark it each year and have bought some great things for the house. Get rid of some and, bring in more ;-))

I get that most second hand shops in Munich are like boutiques, and I respect and enjoy that…read moreatmosphere and value the price point that goes along with curating the shop floor and showing selective items. But this sort of second hand fashion means upto 80% you donate still ends up in landfill. Flohpalast on the other hand sells everything. Ones trash is another's treasure. The prices are cheaper, the shelves are packed from top to bottom and the stock is updated and discounted daily. They value the true meaning and sentiment behind second hand fashion etc. I think most of these people and second hand organisations forget 1- this stuff is donated 2- it's about reducing waste 3- it's cheap for a reason, the people who buy second hand might not always be doing it out of choice but necessity. This accessible, kind, welcoming shop is the best charity shop in town because it's the only one that's actually like a flea market!
