Mercado De Las Pulgas De San Alejo

Great plan for Sunday's 🌞☀️

Loads of random collectibles and handmade stuff… got myself some vintage wares which required some proper hunting… which I’m fond of!

Happy to have found another Sunday flea market in Bogota ✨ This one seems a little less commercial (and therefore a bit cheaper) and has a variety of stands - from secondhand items and trinkets to upcycled fashion, art and small business jewelry. It’s a nice place to go after enjoying the ciclovia, as it is located by the Carrera 7. They even have a little bike parking spot where you can leave your bike supervised while strolling through the market stands. There is also a little corner with food and drink stands.

Must visit during sunday

An authentic flea market open on weekends next to the Museum of Modern Art of Bogotá (MAMBO). Wander past stalls offering books, domestic items (appliances, typewriters, telephones, toys), and a plethora of objects, artesanal teas and jams, etc. It can be crowded, and there are police guards situated in strategic locations around the site. It is walking distance from the Parque Milenio and the Planetarium.

Cute little pulga with lots to see. It’s only available on the weekend and on ‘Dias festivos’ so if you’re in town you should definitely go. Lots to see and you’re bound to take something home. I purchased a beautiful Shakira bead bracelet and a ring. It’s ideal to bring cash, yet a few spots do accept visa. There are Restaurants nearby and street vendors right out front. FYI: There are only two restrooms and there was a long wait. Closes at 5pm.

As well the official fenced in area, as well as the surrounding street are worth exploring. One can find amazing deals and souvenirs that are way less touristy. Most places agree to lower prices if you know how to haggle.

Awesome place to get presents ! You can find almost everything there
