Mercato di Porta Portese

Trastevere & Gianicolo


Head to this mammoth flea market to see Rome bargain-hunting. Thousands of stalls sell everything from rare books and fell-off-a-lorry bikes to cheap underwear, secondhand clothing and off-brand phones. Keep your valuables safe and wear your haggling hat if you discover a treasure amid the tat.
