Interested in what are the flea markets of Kazan? Usually, when most of the townspeople are asleep, improvised counters start to appear at local flea markets early in the morning: someone puts their belongings on folding beds, and someone on an oilcloth spread on the ground.
Flea market in Tinchurin Park
This market is a bottomless source where you can profit from new items for your collections. Crowds of people gather here in good weather. The flea market in the Tinchurin Park sells paintings, icons, knives (including homemade ones), wood products, badges, orders and medals of the USSR times, old banknotes and coins, military items in the form of uniforms, shells, flasks and helmets, modern and rare books, toys, figurines, old telephones, typewriters, cartwheels, cameras, cast-iron irons, boxes, samovars, suitcases, bells, radios, records, dishes and kitchen utensils, clothes and shoes. Those who do not find the desired item can make an order, and perhaps in a week they will "get" for him what he has been looking for for so long.
Flea market on the Zhilploschadka
The range of items sold here is traditional for flea markets - among vintage trinkets and second-hand clothes, here you can find a real "treasure" in the form of antique silver spoons.
Flea market on the Chekhov market
At the local ruins you can find toys, magazines, albums, badges, postcards of the Soviet period, old irons, bright toys in the form of animals, as well as vintage jewelry.
Flea market in the Central Market
Due to the lack of allotted rows for trading, many sellers lay out their goods (badges, coins, books, clothes, samovars, radios, etc.) directly on the asphalt covered with pieces of polyethylene or cardboard.
