At the foot of the three biggest Nordic countries lies the bridge between them and the rest of Europe.

The Scandinavian country of Denmark has a long history and beautiful countryside that attracts tourists from around the world.

It is also routinely voted one of the happiest places on earth.

So, naturally, shopping is an activity that those in the retail space go out of their way to make extra special.

Flea markets are part of that beloved tradition and are often held outdoors to capture the Danish spirit better. 

Come along with us as we check out the top 10 flea markets that the country has to offer.

Best Flea Markets in Denmark

1. Saturday Loppemarked

When a whole town wants to get involved in the flea market, you know it is a good thing.

The city of Frederiksberg holds its market every Saturday from 9 am through 3 pm in Town Hall Square.

Shops open up in April and continue on through October each year. 

Locals who want to sell their wares at a reserved booth can sign up online.

That kind of participation means so many from around Fredriksberg and beyond get involved.

That is great for attendees and the booth holders.

This Saturday market is so popular that parts of the city are shut down during the open hours so that people have fewer problems making it in. 

2. Svalernes Loppemarked

If you have ever wanted to shop at a flea market that is not only good for the locals but also the global community, this is the perfect place.

When you buy from here, you’re helping to support U-landsforenigen.

Much of what is received at Svalernes Loppemarked goes towards helping organizations in Bangladesh and India.

Here, you’ll also find Fair Trade items for sale.

This Copenhagen flea market is open on Saturdays from 10 am through 3 pm.

While you are here, get a cup of coffee or a slice of cake as a well-deserved sweet treat.

3. Københavnstrup Loppemarked

Dubbed Copenhagen’s Nicest Flea Market, Københavnstrup Loppemarked is located in a green outdoor space that is only a hop, skip, and jump away from the shore.

This market is open from April through October, on Sundays starting at 10 am through 4 pm. 

The community is encouraged to get involved.

It is an easy process to request a booth and sellers can even rent clothing racks to display items on.

In fact, sellers can drive their cars all the way to their stalls.

How convenient!

Since the locals really come together for this, the types of things you will find are endless.

Parking is free and there are a large number of spots available. 

4. Norrebro Flea Market

Denmark’s Trade Association has been in business for over a century.

Their goal is to make retail an integrated part of living in Denmark.

They work hard to make markets like this one a great experience.

The association starts the season for the outdoor Norrebro Flea Market in April and carries it on through October. 

The shops open at 9 am and enjoy extended hours through 5 pm.

Most of what you can expect to find are clothing and housewares.

However, really you never know what trinkets or collectibles you will come across.

Taking place in the downtown area of Copenhagen, you will be hard-pressed to find a more interesting environment. 

5. Veras Market

There are up to 80 stalls of goods here at Veras Market.

Most of what you’ll find on display is quite fashionable clothing for all ages and sizes.

So, instead of giving away an old bag of clothes that you have not worn in a while, why not try to earn a little cash in the process?

All are invited to join in!

Another way to gain the interest of the community at large is to have them get social.

They use #verasmarket in social media posts and encourage visitors to share their time at the market.

Also, they do massive sales twice a year, one being in the winter.

This market is open throughout the year on Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm. 

6. Blue Hall Antiques

Den Blå Hal is just outside of downtown Copenhagen and is easily gotten to using the metro.

Up to 100 small shops are represented in this market and have everything from furniture to toys and everything in between.

Take advantage of this rustic setting with 2,000 square meters of browsing space. 

This open-air flea market runs from April through October and costs 10 DKK to enter or $1.65.

Perhaps one of the best parts of the Blue Hall is that it is open Saturday and Sunday, from 10 am through 4 pm.

If you get a bit peckish from extensive looking, feel free to stop by the on-site cafe. 

7. B&W Market

There is so much inventory here that it’s hard to wrap your head around every item available.

Most of what you will see is furniture that fits an array of budgets.

Every piece is intricate and vendors are sure to pack their stock tightly.

Be aware though that not many shops take cards.

So, if you are thinking of purchasing some new items for your home, bring plenty of cash. 

The B&W Market is an indoor market and is open every two weeks throughout the year.

Check Instagram for a posted calendar for specific dates. 

Hours of operation on Saturday and Sunday are from 10 am to 4 pm. 

8. Rita Blå’s Lopper

Since 2009, Rita Blå’s Lopper has delighted the masses of Denmark with a fun assortment of goods.

The market has grown into one of the most attended in the city.

If you want to catch it in action, you have to stay connected to the website.

The location is not always the same, sometimes this flea market sort of pops up where it wants to.

Come to buy things and stay for the entertainment and food.

It is free to get in and so is listening to live music.

Something else to enjoy about coming by is that Rita gives back.

Any clothes not sold can be easily donated on-site by the stalls to help those in need.

9. Kirppu

Located in Herlev, there are about 120 stalls open for business in Kirppu.

The market wants to make it as simple as possible for anyone who wants to get in on the selling action.

Everything can be done from the comfort of your living room before going in.

You can reserve the booth from a calendar, create a list of items, make price tags, and even keep up with sales from their app.

Need extra encouragement?

Visitors are treated with a free cup of coffee or tea!

This market is open every day from as early as 9:30 am through as late as 6 pm. 

10. LoppeLounge

One of the most organized flea markets in Denmark, LoppeLounge gives sellers price tags that incorporate stall numbers in the barcodes.

Talk about using the latest technology, you can pay with apps or cash.

A unique feature is that there are fitting rooms with mirrors available all over the market.

No more guesswork about how you look in a particular piece.

Located next to Glostrup Shopping Center, LoppeLounge is open daily from 10 am through 6 pm.

This flea market is inside, so it is open all year long.

Bonus, free parking is available all around the market!
