Swiss Flomarkts are a treasure trove for lovers of antiques, as well as interesting gizmos that cannot be bought in the market or in a regular store. Here flea markets immerse you in the kingdom of antiques with an incredible history and pleasantly surprise you with affordable prices.
Zurich
The Kantslai flea market is the largest in the country. The assortment here is extremely wide: clothes, kitchen utensils, a variety of appliances, many wires and conductors for game consoles, vases, pots, discs, musical instruments and more. Kantslai is famous not only for a huge selection of goods, but also for extravagant sellers and buyers. Located on Kanzleistrasse, open on Saturdays.
The Bahnhofstrasse market is rich in crockery, crystal, baskets, books, lots of cute trinkets and souvenirs. Bargaining is not particularly accepted, but it is not prohibited.
