Conca d'Oro antiques Rome

Scope out rare finds!

""Conca d'Oro antiques" is "perhaps the best flea market in Rome". Most of all I like its bustling atmosphere and that it's for real treasure hunters..."

Perhaps the best flea market in Rome, it began more than 10 years ago and has grown to 150 stalls.

Here you can find all kinds of products – from food to collectibles and from second hand books to art - but, according to my collector friends, its real niche is music, i.e. vinyl, CDs and co.

As for me, I like its quirkiest stands and the large amount of vintage furnishings but, most of all, I like its bustling atmosphere and the fact that this place is less for hipsters and more for people looking to scope out rare finds.

Truth be told, I rarely bring anything back home, but I do love to wander around its colourful stalls, grabbing some street food on the go at the delicious stands selling regional food.   

After shopping, don’t miss a walk along the Aniene river through the almost unspoilt Parco delle Valli, one of the wildest parks in Rome.
