What people say

"LOVED this place. €1.50 to enter BRING CASH none of the vendors accept card. I went in December and there were a TON of coats. Wool, camel, fur, etc. many treasures here to be found. Also a very wide selection for men, probably more than any other outdoor market I’ve ever been to. Not cheap, but the prices are fair for the brands. Full of Burberry, LV, MaxMara, Cartier, Fendi, Missoni, Mugler, etc. average price of an item at this market is probably €130, in the summer with less coats it might be €70 who knows. To give you an idea - paid €50 for vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray Bans. €80 for new with tags Valentino sweater from the 90s. €400 for MaxMara camel hair coat. A lot of the bags are fake - beware. Some of the dealers will tell you in advance the fake ones, love the honesty."
