Where Feira da Ladra takes place
Feira da Ladra takes place at Campo de Santa Clara, behind the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora. The market’s setting in São Vicente puts it close to the National Pantheon and the church, so you can include either in the same outing.
Lisbon City Council describes Feira da Ladra as the city’s oldest continuously operating market, with origins in the 13th century. Its history spans several locations, including Chão da Feira, Rossio, and Praça da Alegria, before it settled permanently at Campo de Santa Clara in 1882.

Expect a mix of antiques, vintage items, second-hand objects, books, records, tiles, furniture, clothing, and decorative pieces. The market is traditionally known for used goods, and young people aged 16 to 25 can also sell items they no longer use or second-hand goods from their families.
Its regular Tuesday and Saturday schedule has been in place since 1903. The market’s earlier history reaches back further: a fair near the Alcáçova was ordered by King Afonso III in 1273.
