About Feria de Tristan Narvaja

Sandwich - Delicious Ingredient Twelve

The Feria de Tristan Narvaja is a flea market, which is held only on Sundays but this has not affected its popularity among locals or tourists. The variety of items one gets to sample at this market is astonishing. Right from household items to exotic antiques, vintage souvenirs, clothes, music, books, jewelry, and what's more - live animals - there is something for everyone, who comes to Tristan Narvaja. Bookstalls, pet stalls, exotic birds, along with regular knicks and knacks, find their place here. Towards noon the market gets quite crowded, because of the great bargains and the authentic Uruguayan experience that it offers. Though traditional in character today, it was originally organized by Italian immigrants. Make your Sunday a happy one.

Tips

  • Do take notice that this is a Sunday-only market.
  • Please wear comfortable shoes as the market stretches for quite a long distance.
  • Keep some cash in hand because many of the shops take only cash.
  • The market can get quite crowded by midday.
  • Take care of your purses and valuables because pickpocketing is easy in a crowd, be wary of little boys too.
  • The market starts wrapping up by 4 p.m.
  • This would be the best place to buy some mates to take back home.
  • If on a tight schedule, keep watch because one easily loses track of time walking through the market.
