The joys of European flea market – Plaine de Plainpalais is known for holding Switzerland’s biggest and best flea market. Established in 1970, the market comes alive every Wednesday, Saturday, and every first Sunday of the month. The area is flooded with vendors putting up makeshift stalls selling anything and everything. The market is a paradise for bargain hunters and collectors who flock the market for vintage clothing, accessories, antique pieces, and value deals. Wander around the lanes of Plaine de Plainpalais on a Saturday morning and connect with this Swiss institution since 1970s. Dig into the piles of ethnic offerings including incense, candles, oils, books, decoratives, clothes, and jewellery and you might find the long lost treasure. Get away from the touristic appeal and enjoy the offbeat vibes of Plaine de Plainpalais. Gorge on some falafel or kebabs at one of the fast food counters after a few hours of browsing.
