The weekend is without a doubt the best time to go to a flea market near me and a treasure hunt in Copenhagen. There is something very special about starting your Saturday or Sunday morning with a cup of coffee in your hand, while strolling around among stalls filled with vintage clothes, retro furniture and quirky antiques.
But with so many options in the city, it can be difficult to maintain an overview. Which flea markets are open on Saturdays? Where to go on Sundays? And what do you do if you suddenly feel like looking at recycling late on Saturday afternoon?
In this guide, we’ll give you the full overview of the best places to find a weekend market in Copenhagen in 2026.
Flea markets open on Saturday
Saturday is the big “antique and quality day” in Copenhagen. Several of the most established markets are held on Saturdays, and here there are good chances to make more exclusive finds.
Frederiksberg Flea Market
Every Saturday from April to October (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), the square behind Frederiksberg City Hall is transformed into perhaps the city’s most well-known flea market, better known as a popular and market flea market. Here, the quality is generally high, and it is the place to look for Danish design, silverware, jewelry and well-maintained branded clothing, often for sale at good treasure prices. Arrive early if you want to grab the best stuff.
Copenhagen Flea Square (Israels Plads)
Right by Torvehallerne you will find this classic market, which is open every Saturday from mid-March to October (11 am to 4 pm). Here, professional buyers are mixed with private sellers, which provides an incredibly wide selection of everything from gramophone records to small furniture – a true flea market.
Flea markets open on Sunday
Sunday is the big “clothes and fun day”. Many of the more modern and relaxed markets are located on Sundays, which is perfect for a slow end to the weekend.
Veras Market (Under the Arch)
Every Sunday during the summer months, there is a recycling party under the Bispeeng arch. Dedicated to clothing, shoes and accessories, Veras Market attracts a young, fashion-conscious audience. It’s the perfect place to update your wardrobe with sustainable fashion.
Gentofte Flea Market
A little north of the city (right next to Charlottenlund Station) is the Gentofte Flea Market, which is open every Sunday from April to October (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.). The market is famous for its large selection of second-hand branded clothing, shoes, and quality items for children.
The flea market at Bryggen
On selected Sundays during the summer months, you can combine the treasure hunt with a walk along the water at Islands Brygge. With up to 150 stands, it is one of the city’s largest flea markets, many of which have as market highlights, and here everything from children’s clothes to home interiors are sold.
Genbro – Open all weekend (Saturday & Sunday 11-18)
The open-air markets, such as a flea market, are great, but they often close early (typically at 2 or 3 p.m.) and they are very dependent on the weather. If you sleep late or if the rain suddenly pours down, luckily there is a great alternative.
Many flea markets in Copenhagen are only open on certain dates, but at Genbro you can go on a treasure hunt almost all week. The store is located at Nørrebrogade 116 and has over 400 m² of market with clothes, furniture, books, lamps, interiors and retro finds. It is not a classic flea market with private stands, but a permanent indoor alternative for those who love flea finds and recycling.
At Genbro, we are open both Saturday and Sunday from 11.00 to 18.00. This makes us the perfect stop in the late afternoon when the outdoor markets and flea markets are packed together.
Because we are an indoor flea market in Copenhagen, you are always guaranteed a good experience in dry weather without the risk of Copenhagen. Our 400 m² store on Nørrebrogade offers everything from second-hand clothes and vintage in Nørrebro to a large selection of used furniture, lamps and knick-knacks, creating a cozy atmosphere. We get new products every single day, so the selection is just as dynamic as in a real market.

FAQ: Weekend markets
Are there flea markets in Copenhagen in winter on weekends? Yes, but they take place indoors. Bella Center holds large weekend markets a couple of times in the winter, and Veras often moves into Nørrebrohallen on Sundays. Of course, Genbro is also open every weekend throughout the winter.
Where can I find a flea market in Copenhagen today? If it is Saturday or Sunday during the summer months, you can be sure that it is open in Frederiksberg (Saturday) and under Buen (Sunday). Regardless of the season, Genbro is always open on weekends.
How much does it cost to visit the weekend markets? Almost all outdoor weekend markets in Copenhagen are free to visit. This also applies to Genbro and flea market. Only the large indoor events (such as in Bella Center) typically charge admission.
