Feira da Ladra — Attraction in Lisbon

For the vegans: walk uphill through the stalls to the Mercado building next to the flea market. Be sure to eat at the pop-up stall “Gupi Vegan Pastry” inside the building! It is run by a vegan couple, one of whom is a pastry chef. I had delicious vegan pastel de nata which I had been craving to try in Portugal and fresh pressed orange juice. I took a coconut pastry and a blueberry muffin to go and realized that these are hands down some of the best pastries, vegan or not vegan, I’ve ever had in my life! I am simply blown away. The stall also had an incredible large range of other vegan desserts and savoury pastries which I couldn’t try, though I took some artisanal vegan sausages back with me. The couple is very enthusiastic, kind, and welcoming. I enjoyed a great conversation with them and am seriously considering coming back on Saturday even though I’ll be quite a way away from Lisbon. The pastries are worth traveling for though! So delicious. I wish Gupi all the best and big thumbs up for showing the world that vegan food is as good if not more delicious than non vegan food. Seriously, take your non vegan family and friends. They...

Sis and I started off super excited to check it out cause of tiktok. You feel awkward and uninvited going into the booths cause is all layed out on the ground. Barely any tables have prices, so it discourages you from asking and leaves you just looking.

Found a table with vintage mcdonalds pins. Super cute, very unique. I turn out to be pretty discouraged when at least 10 other booths have the same exact selection. The first mcdonald pin table was truly trying to tell me they were old, assuming I'm a dumb american.. Quick google search, and they're just mass-produced "vintage"..

All camera and electronic tables have a very small sign stating just for parts.

There were really cool vintage looking lighters shaped like all sorts of things. Super unique Super cool until you see literally 10 other tables with the same variety..

Perfect place for girlies that dont have their frontal lobe yet. If i came here 10 years ago i would've bought the whole place. I'm sure there are truly vintage items lost in there, but there are a lot of suspicious "vintage" items, along with TONS of forgotten...

Feira da Ladra – a mixed bag worth a browse.

Feira da Ladra has charm and history.

It’s a sprawling mix of stalls selling everything from vintage oddities to handmade crafts.

That said, it can feel cluttered and inconsistent. Lots of stalls carry very similar items mass produced trinkets, cheap souvenirs or broken electronics making it hard to sift through the noise.

A few vendors can be rude or very rushed, and the general upkeep of the area could use some work. Expect a bit of disorganization.

It’s busiest on Saturdays and can get crowded very quickly. You’ll also want to stay alert for pickpockets, a common concern people mention about this market . In the end, it’s a curious mix of culture and clutter a spot worth checking out if you have time, but don’t come expecting polished antiques or a smooth...
