Over 50 Years of Trempelmarkt Tradition
The Nürnberger Trempelmarkt has been a firm fixture in Nuremberg's event calendar since the early 1970s. Twice a year — on the second weekend in May (spring edition) and the second weekend in September (autumn edition) — the entire Old Town from Hauptmarkt to the Pegnitz becomes a flea market. With up to 200,000 visitors per edition, it is one of the largest inner-city flea markets in Europe.
What Makes the Trempelmarkt Special
Unlike smaller weekend flea markets, the Trempelmarkt combines three things: firstly, its sheer size (several thousand stalls); secondly, the unique backdrop of Nuremberg's Old Town (Sebalduskirche, Hauptmarkt, Rathaus, Pegnitzufer, Burgaufstieg); thirdly, the Friday evening until midnight — a large open-air flea market in the dark, with fairy lights and a summer sky. Locals unanimously recommend: Friday evening is the magical time, Saturday is bargain hunter time.
What's on Offer
- Collector's Items: Stamps, porcelain, books, coins, toys, records
- Antiques: Furniture, art, clocks, jewelry from private collections
- Second-hand Goods: Fashion, household items, tools, toys
- Atmosphere: hundreds of private stalls along Hauptmarkt, Sebalder Platz, Rathausplatz, Hans-Sachs-Platz, Insel Schütt
- Sales: only registered stallholders, no walk-up sales possible
- Prohibited: Food, drinks, sweets, vehicles — remains a pure flea market
Stall Registration
Stall pitches for the 2026 autumn edition will be sold exclusively online via the Nuremberg City Market Office starting Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 10 AM. Walk-in registrations are not possible. Those who want a stall must book for both days (Friday AND Saturday).
