Every Saturday all year you can visit the flea market on Grønland. You can’t miss it, just look for the big crowd of people once you cross Akerselva from the city centre. For a long time this was kind of a “secret” marked that not many people knew about, but now people from all over town visit to see if they can find any cheap treasures. You can stumble upon absolutely everything! Clothes, shoes, toys, stuff for your kitchen, cds, lamps, furniture, bags – whatever! You can also find used cell phones, cameras and computers and other electrical equipment. Some stands are there every Saturday, but the market is also open for whoever wants to rent a stand to sell their stuff. Allthough the administration of the market is trying their best to control the vendors, be aware that scams may occur here. It´s recommended that you ask the seller for a receipt and also for identification if you buy used electrical equipment (this is to prevent trading of stolen goods). Despite this warning, remember that most of the sellers here are serious people just doing business! If you want to shop some things from Oslo without using all your money – this is the place. And this is one of the few places in Oslo were you can bargain! There is a documentary under production about this market called “the market’s chances” (by Safi Film), and you can find a small teaser for it on YouTube. Enjoy the treasure hunt!
