Porta Portese is the flea market of Rome for excellence.

Here you can find a bit of everything: furniture, clothes, CDs, books, prints, historical newspaper … and the list can be endless.

Because of its multi ethnicity and the possibility to find unthinkable objects, there is a quote that says that at Porta Portese “you can find anything, from a pill to a Jumbo Jet’!

The market open its doors every Sunday, from 6 am until 2 pm, and even if many things changed in the last years, the atmosphere here remains awesome!

From Hotel San Francesco is 2 minutes walking

So what are you waiting for? Come here and call your friends out on how good you are in finding better deals than they find!
