Are you interested in flea markets? Vladivostok flea markets offer a wide choice of   antiques and some rare nice things, such as  Soviet-made waffle irons and other retro stuff.

Flea market between the “Sportivnaya” stop and the Lugovaya Square

The goods here are presented  not on the counters, but on oilcloths and cardboard boxes. People come to this flea market hunting  both for antiques and goods that can be useful in everyday life. For example, construction tools, soft toys and Christmas decorations, second-hand clothing and shoes, skates, meat grinders, pans, pots and other dishes, fur hats, tabloid novels and rare books that are difficult to find in other markets and shops (travelers can be interested in Vladivostok guides published in 1958), ship chronometers (the seller will explain how to handle it), spare parts for Soviet plumbing, sets of chess pieces, sweaters and other knitted things, pictures, coins, watches, statuettes of wood and bronze, old cameras, homespun rugs, vintage decorations and accessories, and many hand-made products. It is worth noting that lots of things found in this flea market can be used as a decor  for photo shoots.

Address: Prikhodko street, 2/1; the flea market operates daily from morning until dusk (it is better to visit on weekends, when there are more sellers).
