The markets Auckland city centre offer don’t stop at fresh produce and general essentials, but also cover local arts and crafts, delicious food and beverages - here are the ones to add to your must-visit list.

Beloved second-hand and vintage market, the iconic Central Flea is coming to Auckland city centre this November! Any Auckland-based treasure-hunter will have heard of Central Flea, one of Auckland's biggest secondhand markets, that usually happens at Junk & Disorderly in Mount Eden. But now the market is on the move, coming to Britomart's Takutai Square for one day only! This event will showcase some of Auckland’s best second-hand vendors as well as an expanded offering of local creatives and makers!
