Milan
Mercato di via Fauche
A slice of Milanese history, busiest on Saturdays, where food stalls sit beside outlet coats, shoes and bags. A bargain-hunter’s paradise for quality Italian leather and discounted labels – bring cash and a camera.
Fiera di Sinigaglia
Milan’s oldest flea market, dating back to the 1800s and set a step from the Navigli. You can find just about everything – vintage and alternative clothing, handicrafts, books, vinyl, rare plants and collectibles – plus food and drink stalls and a great taste of the city’s underground culture.
