Formally an independent municipality, Frederiksberg is an affluent area of Copenhagen with excellent shopping and lots of green space. In fact, Frederiksberg is more fashionable than Vesterbro and Nørrebro, and its residents tend to be older and more established. Frederiksberg is particularly known for shopping, as this municipality has many clothing stores as well as sushi restaurants, cafes and delicatessens. One of Frederiksberg's highlights, however, is its weekly flea market: Frederiksberg Loppetorv or Frederiksberg Flea Market.
Open every Saturday from early April to mid-October in the nearby parking lot next to Frederiksberg City Hall, Frederiksberg Loppetorv is one of the largest and busiest flea markets in Copenhagen.
The Frederiksberg flea market has more than 90 stalls offering almost everything you could wish for, especially when the people of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg decide to clean out their attics and get rid of their wealth.
Visitors usually go to Frederiksberg Loppetorv to buy, among other things, Danish fashion and second-hand clothes, antique furniture, antique crockery, Danish design decor items, design lamps, books, glassware, ceramics, silverware, old toys and music instruments.
Due to the upscale nature of the area, the items sold at Frederiksberg Loppetorv tend to be of high quality, making it a good bet to find great and useful things at reasonable prices. Food stalls and beer tents are regularly set up at the Frederiksberg flea market, so flea market enthusiasts can enjoy a Danish hot dog and a glass of "Gammel Dansk" bitter during their stroll. Keep in mind that depending on the weather and the time of year (spring/fall), the Frederiksberg flea market may be less than full. It can therefore sometimes be quite gloomy.
Shoppers looking for a shortcut to Danish antiques and vintage goods should visit one of the many antique and vintage shops in Frederiksberg. For example, Brix Brocante, Modern 2 Collect, K&Co. Antik - Boligindretning med sjæl & patina, or Quirky Sundays Antik & Vintage, just to name a few. These shops, which are relatively close to the Frederiksberg flea market, are a real haven for collectors. Antique and vintage enthusiasts will find their fortune here: Mid-century modern Danish furniture, vintage crockery, Danish ceramics, vintage home decor, designer lighting, pictures and paintings are some examples of the items that can be found here.
The Frederiksberg flea market and Frederiksberg antique and vintage shops are definitely a great combination for a fruitful antique shopping day in Copenhagen.
