Porta Portese Flea market

Porta Portese is one of the largest, most diverse and popular flea-markets in Europe. On any given Sunday up to 4,000 stalls open shop to sell all imaginable merchandise, including antiques (as well as a lot of junk), second hand clothes, books, magazines, decorative items and food products
It has been one of the most important commercial arteries as it was used for supplying Rome's markets.
Porta Portese, even today, hosts Rome's flea market which takes place each Sunday morning and extends all the way up to Viale Trastevere.
On Sundays from 7am to 1pm, every peddler from Trastevere and the surrounding Castelli Romani sets up a temporary shop at the sprawling Porta Portese open-air flea market. The vendors are likely to sell merchandise ranging from secondhand paintings of Madonnas and termite-eaten Il Duce wooden medallions, to pseudo-Etruscan hairpins, bushels of rosaries, 1947 TVs, and books printed in 1835. Serious shoppers can often ferret out a good buy. If you've ever been impressed with the bargaining power of the Spaniard, you haven't seen anything till you've bartered with an Italian.
Due to the market's soaring popularity, finding bargain deals is becoming increasingly difficult, but it is still possible. All you need is some patience and a good hand at bartering and then you're bound to leave Porta Portese with at least one or two unique acquisitions.
By 10:30am the market is full of people. As at any street market, beware of pickpockets.
