Bruktbutikk / antikk i Oslo?
Hei! Noen som har tips til bruktbutikker i Oslo? Helst i nærheten av Karl Johan / Ibsenkvartalet. Er mest interessert i antikviteter, typ 1900-1950. Har desverre kun en koffert tilgjengelig til eventuell shopping. Så rene møbelbutikker er dessverre ikke nødvendig. Vurderer å…

Any good second hand/thrift shops in Oslo?
I've been to the Fretex at Grønland and Majorstruen and I can't say I was particularly impressed with the selection and size of the store Feels like there's something better that I'm missing out on, or perhaps I've set my standards too high Thanks!

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Vestkanttorvet Market's vibrant atmosphere and the abundance of unique vintage clothing, antiques, and local crafts. It's praised as a community-focused event perfect for a relaxed Saturday browse. Some wish for more vendors accepting cards and clearer pricing, but overall, it's a highly recommended stop for treasure hunters.
"We visited the flea market here on Saturday and had a great time. Tons of vintage clothes, dishes and trinkets. My daughter found an amazing Norwegian sweater for a great price and we spent over an hour here wandering through the vendors. We wanted to try to the waffles and hot dogs but they only took cash and we didn't have any cash yet so we missed out on that. It's very close to Vigeland Park so if you're there on a Saturday it's worth a stop."

"This was my first time visiting this little Saturday marketplace.
There was a lot of interesting items to be bought here, like paintings, loads of clothing, shoes, furniture 😳, CDs , DVDs ,kitchen utensils, designer glass bottles etc. 😊👍
A good little outing even if it's just to browse"

"Found this flea market while walking between The Royal Palace and The Vigeland Park. Interesting collection of pottery, china, clothes, and knick-knacks. I tried to buy a small tin - either the Norwegians don't like to haggle - or the guy I was dealing with did not really want to sell. Probably me...."
