What is the Feria da Ladra?
Feira da Ladra, or the Thieves’ Market, is a colorful, open-air flea market that has been in operation since 1272, making it one of Europe’s oldest second-hand markets. Since that time, the Feira da Ladra has had multiple locations around Lisbon, including Rossio Square, Campo de los Mártires de la Patria, and near Avenida da Liberdade. The outdoor bazaar has been at its current location since 1882.
