Flea Market

Haifa


Amble past leather bags and picture frames, rifle through boxes of weathered postcards and sort treasure from trash at this flea market, 700m southeast of Paris Sq. It's excellent bargain-hunting terrain for collectors of curios; otherwise the area makes for an interesting stroll past antique shop fronts and sidewalk sellers.

The market is liveliest and has the most vendors on Saturday and Sunday, though you can enjoy a more subdued market experience all week long.
