Quick overview: Copenhagen’s best flea markets 2026

Here you will get a quick overview of some of the most popular markets in the city. The table makes it easy for you to plan your next trip.

The best outdoor flea markets in Copenhagen

When spring hits and the weather becomes milder, Copenhageners move out into squares and streets to sell out of their stash. Here’s a rundown of the most popular outdoor markets.

Frederiksberg Flea Market (Loppetorvet)

The flea market behind Frederiksberg City Hall is one of the city’s oldest and most prestigious markets. Here you will often find very high quality goods. Many of the stallholders have had their stands for years, and the selection is characterized by Frederiksberg’s classic style. It is rare here that you will find things for 5 kroner, but on the other hand, the chances of finding beautiful Royal Copenhagen porcelain, silverware, unique jewellery and well-maintained branded clothes are incredibly high.

• Where: John Winthers Plads (behind Frederiksberg City Hall)

• When: Every Saturday from April to October (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

• Admission: Free

Veras Market (Under the Arch)

Veras Market has become an institution for fashion-conscious Copenhageners. Every Sunday during the summer months, the area under Bispeengbuen (the border between Frederiksberg and Nørrebro) is transformed into a mecca for second-hand clothes. The focus is almost exclusively on clothes, shoes and accessories, and the atmosphere is always top notch with music and happy people. In the winter, Veras often moves indoors in Nørrebrohallen.

• Where: Bispeengen 19 (Under the arch)

• When: Sundays from April to October

• Admission: Free

Flea market at Israels Plads (Copenhagen Flea Square)

This market is centrally located right next to Nørreport Station and Torvehallerne. It is one of the oldest markets in the city and is known for a wide and varied selection. Here you will find both professional antique dealers and private individuals who sell everything from old books and gramophone records to small furniture and clothes. The location makes it obvious to combine the treasure hunt with a lunch in Torvehallerne.

• Where: Israels Plads, 1361 Copenhagen K

• When: Saturdays from mid-March to October (11 am to 4 pm)

• Admission: Free

The flea market at Bryggen

With up to 150 stands, the flea market at Islands Brygge is one of the largest outdoor markets in the city. The market stretches along the water at the Culture House, which provides a great atmosphere on a sunny Sunday. Everything between heaven and earth is sold here, and it is a great place to find cheap children’s clothes, toys, interiors and everyday clothes.

• Where: Islands Brygge 18 (by the Culture House)

• When: Selected Sundays from April to October

• Admission: Free

Ravnsborggade Flea Market

Ravnsborggade in Nørrebro is known for its many antique shops, and four times a year the street (together with Ryesgade and Sankt Hans Gade) joins forces to hold a huge flea market. Here, the shops move their goods out onto the street, and local residents set up their own stands. It’s a regular street party and a great place to find special retro finds and antiques. Read more in our dedicated guide to flea markets in Nørrebro.

• Where: Ravnsborggade and the surrounding area, 2200 Copenhagen N

• When: 4 selected Sundays a year (typically spring, summer, autumn, Christmas)

Regular indoor flea stop in Nørrebro: Genbro

Many flea markets in Copenhagen are only open on certain dates, and often only during the summer months. But what do you do when the treasure hunt draws on an ordinary Tuesday, or when the rain is pouring down?

We get new items every single day, so there is always a reason to stop by. Visit our second-hand shop in Copenhagen to read more about our concept, or come straight in from the street and start your treasure hunt.

Which market should you choose? (Best for…)

Are you looking for something very specific? Here are our recommendations for where to go, depending on what you’re looking for:

Best for vintage and secondhand clothing

If the wardrobe needs to be updated with unique finds, the Veras Market under the Arch is an absolute must. Here, the focus is almost 100% on fashion. If you’re looking for branded goods, Gentofte Flea Market north of the city is known for its large selection of high-end secondhand.

Best for furniture, antique and retro

Are you looking for teak wood, classic Danish design or special antiques? Then you should visit Frederiksberg Flea Market or plan your trip after Ravnsborggade Flea Market. If you don’t want to wait for a specific date, we at Genbro always have a large selection of used furniture in Copenhagen. Also read our guide to finding marshals and antiques in Copenhagen.

Best in bad weather (Indoor)

The Danish summer is capricious, and in the winter, most outdoor markets close down. Fortunately, a flea market is held in Bella Center several times a year. You can find more tips in our guide to indoor flea markets in Copenhagen.

5 Tips for Making the Best Flea Finds

Going to a flea market requires a bit of strategy if you want to take home the best things. Here are 5 tips from experienced treasure hunters:

1. Arrive early – or very late: The most sought-after design finds disappear in the first hour the market is open. Show up before official opening hours if you’re looking for specific treasures. On the other hand, you can make the best “quantity bargains” and haggle mostly about the price in the last hour, when the sellers would rather not take the things home again.
2. Bring cash and MobilePay: Although almost everyone uses MobilePay today, the system can crash in places with many people. A little cash is always a good backup.
3. Have a list (but be open): It’s good to know that you need a certain type of vase or a winter jacket, but the best finds are often the ones you didn’t know you were missing.
4. Haggle over the price with a smile: It is expected that you negotiate the price at a flea market. Do it with a smile and respect for the seller. A good trick is to buy several items from the same condition and ask for a total price.
5. Check for errors and omissions: Examine clothes for stains and holes (especially under the arms) and check if the ceramics have chips. It is difficult to return an item once you have bought it at a market.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about flea markets in Copenhagen

When does the flea season start in Copenhagen? The outdoor season typically starts in April, when the weather becomes milder, and ends in October. Indoor markets are held all year round.

• How much does it cost to enter flea markets? Most outdoor markets (such as Frederiksberg, Veras under Buen and Israels Plads) are completely free to visit. Large indoor markets such as Bella Center typically charge an entrance fee of between DKK 25 and 50.
• Where can I find a flea market this weekend? There is almost always a market going on! Read our guide to finding a flea market on the weekend to see what options you have right now.
• What is the difference between a thrift store and a flea market? At a flea market, private individuals rent a stand for a day and sell their own things. Prices are negotiable, and the selection changes from day to day. A second-hand shop like Genbro has fixed prices, fixed opening hours and a selection that is regularly updated by the store’s staff.
• Do you have to haggle over the price at Genbro? At Genbro, we have fixed, low prices on all our products. On the other hand, you do not have to negotiate, and you are guaranteed a fair price on quality-checked recycling.

Whether you’re up for the intense 8 a.m. hunt at Frederiksberg Flea Market, or a leisurely Sunday stroll under the Arch, Copenhagen has something for every second-hand lover. And remember, if the markets are closed or the weather fails, the doors are always open at Genbro on Nørrebrogade 116. Happy treasure hunting!
