On Sundays from 7am to 1pm, every peddler from Trastevere and the surrounding Castelli Romani sets up a temporary shop at the sprawling Porta Portese open-air flea market. The vendors are likely to sell merchandise ranging from secondhand paintings of Madonnas and termite-eaten Il Duce wooden medallions, to pseudo-Etruscan hairpins, bushels of rosaries, 1947 TVs, and books printed in 1835. Serious shoppers can often ferret out a good buy. If you've ever been impressed with the bargaining power of the Spaniard, you haven't seen anything till you've bartered with an Italian. By 10:30am the market is full of people. As at any street market, beware of pickpockets! Porta Portese is located near the end of Viale Trastevere, very close to the Tevere river.

 Entrance to the Porta Portese
Market on Sunday by Lacristina
Every Sunday morning, in Trastevere, just across the Ponte Sublico (one of the many bridges across the Tevere - the Tiber River) hundreds, maybe thousands of tourists come looking for an interesting flea market.
But I would guess that most leave very disappointed - and some of them get pickpocketed, to boot.
Frankly, there's mostly new, cheap junk. Hardly any interesting flea market finds at all - just the chance for the professional thieves to get another chance at your wallet or purse in crowded conditions while you're distracted.
I've got a better idea - it's nearby, and while there's some new cheap junk here, too, you'll find some real flea market finds as well. See my tip called: "Better than the Porta Portese Flea Market?" found here: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/67a55/23513/6/ Leave a Comment

There is a great flea market every Sunday from early until around 2pm called Porta Portese. It is in Trastevere, and you can take the 8 tram or bus 44. It is absolutely huge, and you can find everything there from clothes to antiques to housewares to bicycles.
