Porta Portese

On Sunday I went to the Porta Portese outdoor market in the Trastevere area of Rome.  I had never been before, and I had a lot of fun, just looking through all the wares. Everything there is super cheap, and haggling is encouraged.
Here are a million pictures. (Thats an approximation, I havent counted them.)

 

 Lighting options for every price point 

 Socks and shoes of every variety 

 

 Music, in the form of records, cds, and even 8 track 

 

 

 Cold weather clothes

 

Weapons and military apparel. All of these things available cheaply at a sketchy market seems like a recipe for disaster.  (I also think it is funny that slingshots, nutcrackers, and large knives are kept together.)

 Works of art (reproductions, really) from around the world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anything you need to accessorize your outfit 

 

 

 

American sports jerseys, and metal band shirts

 

 

Homewares

 

 

 

Various food products

(Here is a free tip: Don't eat those olives. They are delicious, but if you eat them, later in the day you might vom inside St Peter's square with 150,000 people there. I wont say that happened to me, I just wanted to give you some free advice.)

 

 Beer steins and silverware. Both great options for a wedding gift.

I also saw a bride at the market. Perhaps she was there picking up some last minute items for the reception. (I hope she decided against the olives. Im just saying)

It was a very interesting place, and I will certainly be going back. Any requests?
