10 Of The Best Markets In Sweden

Sweden’s best markets can be found all over the country, in small towns and big cities – and, even better, they also have something called loppis, which are sort of like flea markets but small and often tucked away in an old barn. Whether it’s food, clothes, or curiousities you’re looking for, there’s plenty of choice at Swedish markets.

Stockholm

Karla Loppis

This is a relatively new entry on the Stockholm market scene but it’s growing fast, and is a great place to find top-tier vintage. Located along the perimetre of Karlaplan’s giant fountain in the city’s Östermalm district, this market is all about books, clothes, paintings, and collectables. Given its location, gems are to be had if you’ve got the time to poke around for a bit. A great atmosphere and plenty of restaurants close by.

Malmö

1. Malmö Farmers Market

Market, Farmers' Market, Vegetarian, Vegan, Healthy

The market at Drottningtorget sets up shop every Saturday morning from mid-spring to mid-autumn – and this is where farmers from the surrounding area head to and give city folk the chance to enjoy that fresh-from-the-farm taste. Swedish favourites such as chanterelles and wild strawberries are sure to be found, as well as homemade preserves and the like. If you visit on a Saturday, it’s a giant flea market with all that that entails.

Möllevångstorget

It’s no surprise that multicultural Malmö has a market that is brimming with produce and other ingredients that might not be found in your regular Swedish grocery store. And it’s no surprise that in the hustle and bustle of this market haggling is the word of the day, and that you’ll discover fruit and veg that will inspire you. One of the best markets around.
