Flea Market — Local services in Oranjestad (city)

Same staff as you usually would see in a booth. Good to experience and have a look but no need to just for visiting here. However, the asking price can be expensive so do negotiate. I bought a shirt for 5 $ with “I love Aruba" on it without hesitation. Then when i asked for a second one almost identical with different color, immediately it becomes 25$.......all prices are just made on the fly. So do negotiate - a shirt, pants, skirt should be around 5 - 10 dollor, per piece magnets should be somewhere around 10 dollar for 4 pieces, same for key ring. Parking on the side is very good and cheap for 3 dollar per day. Near by parking meters, will charge bit more. 3 dollar is about 3 hours only. But after 3pm, all paid parking are for free in the down town areas. if you arrive around at noon (12), then not much difference anyway. Better just park inside. But do remember, even with paid parking find a place with white lines, yellow lot are for people with special permit as tourist or visitor you can...

Like most of these little booths you encounter around the island, everything is the same. A selection of metal animal art, cover-up/dresses, and tourist tchotchkes (like keyrings and magnets). It's all priced about the same, though do negotiate if there isn't a listed price (for example, I asked the price of a wood sculpture and was told $40, said oh and put it down, and was immediately told $25). The hidden gem here is the dirt parking lot which is $3 for the whole day. Park here and walk the high-end shopping strip and cruise terminal...

Same stuff as all the other shops around town. All stuffed under some tarps to provide shade from the sun, but it also results in a very hot environment with no air movement.

Most of the workers are hiding behind their merchandise and you have to seek them out or just hear random voices yelling prices to you.

Not worth the visit. Just stick to the other main shops...
