Fodor's Expert Review Feira da Ladra

The so-called "thieves" market (it used to be said that stolen items invariably ended up here) is now the most famous flea market in Portugal. You'll need a few hours to browse all the stalls selling everything from vintage clothes to antique furnishings, with plenty of colorful treasures in between. Running until about 2 pm on Tuesday and a little later into the afternoon on Saturday, it's a memorable shopping experience. The market attracts serious collectors as well as casual browsers, so dedicated bargain hunters should be prepared to arrive early to grab the best deals.
