Outdoor street markets (sometimes called flea markets) offer a unique and often eclectic selection of goods that you might not find elsewhere. Many vendors at flea markets sell one-of-a-kind or handmade items that you can’t buy in a typical store, making it a great place to find unique gifts or souvenirs. Shopping at flea markets can be a more sustainable way to shop because you are sometimes buying secondhand or repurposed items instead of new ones. This can also be a more affordable way to shop, as many vendors offer items at lower prices than you might find in a traditional retail store. Finally, shopping at flea markets can be a fun and social experience, as you get to interact with vendors and other shoppers and soak up the atmosphere of the market.
