In the center of Zurich, Bürkliplatz is home to the city's second largest and most popular flea market, held once a week during the summer and early fall. The Bürkliplatz flea market begins at the southern end of Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich's most exclusive shopping street. The flea market known as "Bürkli-Flohmarkt" is actually located in the "Stadthausanlage" at Bahnhofstrasse and Fraumünsterstrasse. However, "Bürkliplatz" is the official name of the tram and bus lines 2, 9, etc. that lead to the flea market.
Perhaps because of its proximity to stores such as Givenchy and Prada, the Bürkliplatz flea market itself offers many upscale, high-quality items. In fact, the goals of the organizers of the Bürkliplatz flea market are clear: to keep the different characters of the flea market vendors together and to keep the quality of the offerings high.
In fact, a large part of the regular vendors are members of the association Vereinigung Zürcher Flohmarkt, which was founded in 1971. The range of items on offer varies from genuine antique furniture and paintings, to bronze, photography, glassware, silverware, crockery, jewelry and fine procelain, making this flea market always extremely attractive. Visitors to the Bürkliplatz flea market can almost always look forward to attractive bargains. This flea market also has a very pleasant, friendly atmosphere. Vendors can often be found socializing at the food and drink stand in the middle of the stalls!
As the Bürkliplatz flea market is known for its high quality items, it is advisable to arrive early in order to find the most valuable items. The stalls open at 06:00 am, and often the best items are gone long before 9:00 am.
Its central location makes the Bürkliplatz flea market incredibly accessible. It is also a historic and picturesque location, close to both Lake Zurich and the Arboretum. The whole area is pedestrianized and there is a tram stop right on the square.
The diversity of the Bürkliplatz flea market makes it a very pleasant place to visit. Whether you are an antique lover or a bargain hunter, there really is something for everyone and it is hard to leave empty-handed.
