Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Flea & Street Markets

May 27, 2021 Diedre Savory

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Nuovo Mercato di Testaccio

Reviewed By pakabay - Adelaide, Australia

This is the "new" market at Testaccio, and it has a little bit of everything. Pasta, Pizza and roasted meats along with wine & cheese to enjoy onsite, all from fantastic stands run by passionate owners. Side by side with fresh produce including meats, seafood, fruits, vegetable & flowers. There will be something for everyone. And being Rome, there is, of course, an archaeological dig underway right in the middle of the market. This is great as there is an open section of the market to see what is going on. Easy walk from Piramide Metro station.

Mercato dei Fiori

Reviewed By susandW3492ZV - West Barnstable, United States

The classic European marketplace that you have in your mind is located at Mercato dei Fiori. It is so visually pleasing that you would think you were on a movie set. What a wonderful place to shop. Bring your camera!

Porta Portese

It's worth a trip to Rome's most popular second-hand flea market, which is open Sundays.

Reviewed By GeorgetownPenang - Penang Island, Malaysia

Walked round the whole market from clothes bags and shoes section which wasn’t that interesting The main area where you can find interesting items is in the middle section where some stalls sells old coins and currency as well as watches and clocks Spend a good two hours and to properly go round you will be walking close to 7km plus Happy hunting !
