What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary

While some visitors enjoy finding unique treasures like books, others find the communication and payment methods challenging, and prices can sometimes be higher than expected for a flea market.

"Nice, modest flea market that happens every Saturday in the morning. Most are locals selling secondhand items (clothes, jewellery, cutlery, tools etc.) not worth the trip just for the flea market, but definitely worth it if you take the opportunity to see and walk around Lund. If you’re lucky you might find something interesting 😉"

"Really nice place! I got a few good book here and left happily!"

"Mostly foreign-born people who don't speak Swedish or English and don't have Swish. Difficult to communicate, difficult to pay which is a shame because sometimes there is really good stuff. A bit expensive, people have forgotten what a flea market is. It used to be better before Lund municipality started messing around. It killed the vibes completely."

Understanding the Market's Vibe
Recent feedback suggests that communication and payment can be challenging, with some vendors preferring cash and having limited English proficiency. This can detract from the experience for some shoppers. Despite these points, the market remains a pleasant addition to a Saturday morning stroll in Lund, especially if you're looking for a low-key browsing experience.
It's important to manage expectations: this isn't a sprawling, bustling bazaar, but rather a small, community-driven market. If you're in Lund on a Saturday, it's worth a visit, but perhaps not the sole reason for a trip. Combine it with exploring the historic city for a more complete experience.
