With two hundred kilometres of open air stalls, this flea market offers a massive diversity of things to buy at reduced prices. Unfortunately, this amazing event, which has over a million visitors, is only an annual event which happens during the first weekend of September. Another shopper’s paradise is in Russia. Moscow has many  flea markets but the Vernisazh flea market at Izmailovsky Park is perhaps the most famous. There is almost  nothing that you can’t find there, especially if you are a tourist looking for authentic Russian souvenirs to bring  back home.

But flea markets are not just places where tourists can buy inexpensive things.
