Isestraße Flea Market (ISE-Flohmarkt)

A once-a-year flea market held in October, stretching under the U-Bahn viaduct along Hamburg’s famous Isestraße.

The ISE-Flohmarkt is one of Hamburg’s most impressive one-day flea markets — not least because of its setting. It runs along Isestraße beneath the elevated U-Bahn viaduct, creating a long, sheltered market route between Eppendorfer Baum and Hoheluftbrücke. The result is a memorable flea market experience that feels uniquely Hamburg.

The offering is broad, covering everything from clothing and furniture to antiques and handmade items, and the market also includes arts-and-crafts elements. Because it happens only once a year, it attracts a lot of attention and is often considered a seasonal highlight for collectors and regular flea market visitors.

The market is well connected by public transport, and the viaduct setting gives it a distinctive atmosphere even if the weather is less than perfect.

When: October 2026 (exact date TBA), 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. 
Where: Isestraße (under the viaduct), Hamburg-Harvestehude
