Flea markets are a personal weakness of mine, and who can blame me when you can find amazing things for a reasonable price and give well-loved items a second life? Munich has a lot of them for families: children's flea markets in kindergartens, parish halls and schools, big indoor markets and neighbourhood sales where whole streets open their courtyards.
A note on dates: everything below comes from my monthly flea market lists for April, June and July 2024. The dates and times are examples of when these markets ran, not this year's calendar. Most of them come back every season, so check the organiser's website or the venue for the next date before you go. The same Montessori school in the Olympiapark also runs an autumn market.

Tips
- Check the date and time for the market you want. Some outdoor ones are cancelled or moved indoors if it rains.
- Several children's markets let pregnant women in early, so ask or check the details.
- Some do not allow strollers or baby seats into the sales room, so a carrier can make life easier.
