flea market

Any kind of flea market opens on Monday in early June?



If so, where is it? If not, any kind of flower/



food market worth visiting? I have a few hours



to spend before boarding the plane mid-day.

I have researched a number of Danish sites and haven%26#39;t been able to find flea markets open on mondays. It%26#39;s primarily a weekend-activity.





The central %26quot;Grønttorvet%26quot; (Fruit, Vegetables and Flowers market) is a possibility. Now hidden behind the construction site of the new metro station by Nørreport Station, Grønttorvet is still the city%26#39;s largest open market for fruits, vegetables and flowers. Open from early morning to late afternoon, this is the place to buy large quantities at a good price. Remember to watch carefully what actually ends up in your bag. Pointing out the specific item you wish to purchase can help.





But it%26#39;s still just a common market, not very picturesque and vegetables are the main thing.





To find it google map %26quot;Frederiksborggade 26, Copenhagen%26quot;





You could combine this with a short stroll up to Kultorvet square and beyond.

From the nearby Nørreport Station you can hop on the metro direct to the airport, Line M2 for Lufthavnen (Airport). The airport is the last stop, so don%26#39;t get off the train until the last stop, even though they announce %26quot;Copenhagen Airport%26quot; at every stop.

Oops - one error: The construction seen at the site is not for the new metro station. The station is built and functioning.

Take a stroll down Ravnsborggade in Nørrebro - it%26#39;s full of second hand shops.

Hello,





Just wondering if anyone can suggest any which are open between August 13th and 16th, this year?





Kind regards,





Charde
