Balon Market

Torino's Historic Flea Market

Every Saturday, the streets of Borgo Dora — Via Borgo Dora, Via Lanino, Via Mameli and Via Canale Molassi — fill with stalls of antiques, vintage clothing, books, vinyl records and bric-a-brac at Il Balon, Torino's long-running flea market, running roughly 7am to 6pm.

Once a month it grows into the Gran Balôn — on the second Sunday, the same streets host a much bigger, more serious antiques and collectibles fair, drawing dealers and collectors from across the region. Either version rewards slow browsing over a quick visit.
