Leipzig's flea markets are a treasure trove of keepsakes, from GDR-era memorabilia to exotic knick-knacks. With over a dozen markets scattered across the city, there's plenty to explore. The city centre market at the market square, which is probably the most popular, operates every Tuesday and Friday from 9am to 5pm. Additionally, from March to November, on the first Sunday of each month, the Old Trade Fair of Leipzig (Alte Messe Leipzig) transforms into a haven for antique hunters, offering a wide array of vintage items.
