    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!


    Erik

    drinkings good for buying........sometimes
    cuts out the second guessing
    but only at a certain level

    buyer "yeah i'll have that pair"

    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.

    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.
