Flohmärkt Schaumainkai

Every other Saturday, Flohmärkte Schaumainkai—considered by many to be Frankfurt’s best flea market—opens on the tree-lined southern bank of the Main river. Grab a coffee or a piping hot apple wine and wander down the river through the bustling stalls, where you’ll find an eclectic assortment of wares ranging from second-hand toys to locally made clothing, used bikes, crafts, antique furniture and art, with the Frankfurt skyline serving as a distinguished backdrop. You might want to combine the trip with a visit to one of the city’s museums; nine are nearby, among them the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, which displays sculpture in a late 19th-century villa.
