Featured Anyone here from Germany?

Hey folks!

I am planning a 10 day trip to Germany with my mom and we are looking to visit some antique/flea markets. We will be in travelling from Hamburg to Berlin and we are by car, so driving further is fine too
If anyone is from Germany and are willing to help, I would appreciate it a lot.

I've Googled for hours and it seems that weekends are full of all sorts of antique and flea markets, so it will be very hard to cover them all, but any suggestions are welcome.
On weekdays, is there any good places to go to? Any good thrift stores or antique shops/markets?

I've watched probably about 50 videos on Youtube and I am beyond excited

Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions!

if you find some Franken wine.... buy it !

 

How old should be for the finest quality.

 

stay away from 2006......... but these wines , are not meant for long cellaring ..... any from the last few years should be just fine thank you !

 

Me shopping drunk is not a very good idea ;P

 

It's dangerous enough sober! I am alas at least 5500km west of there and so no help.

 

Hamburg has a cool night time flea market, Wednesday and Thursday, 6pm to 10pm.

seller "what do you mean pair ?"

Perhaps asking some local people when you get there might be an idea. Seems this thread has almost driven off the road, LOL.

 

plenty time go get back on track......
and , it's a well known fact that guys don't stop the car to ask for directions.....

 

There’s so many flea markets in Germany from very large city markets to tiny parking lot village markets. You’ll see signs for flohmarkt and trodelmarkt everywhere you go.
I have my favorites but they’re nowhere near Hamburg or Berlin.
Frankfurt and Offenbach on Main are my two favorites. They’re along the Main river and can go on forever down the river. Bring a good backpack.
My all time favorite was in Hanau, it used to be in a field on the river next to a small exhibition hall and was loaded with great stuff for picking. It’s now in the IKEA parking lot and mostly socks and luggage.

 

Thanks a lot for your response. Next time Frankfurt and Offenbach for sure

 

@Erik Aunapuu , whenever you return from that trip, be sure to let us know what you found!
