Hrelić Flea Market (Jakuševec): Zagreb’s Biggest Treasure Hunt

Hrelić is the Zagreb market experience for people who like treasure hunts: a big, open-air goods-and-antiquities fair where the browsing is the point.

It’s not in the city center — it’s out in Jakuševec — which is why it feels more like a local event than a tourist stop. If you love flea markets, it’s worth the effort.

InfoZagreb lists the “Hrelić” goods and antiquities fair at Sajmišna cesta 8 in Jakuševec on multiple days per week. The key detail: go early for the best finds and the best vibe.

• Expect everything from practical second-hand goods to weird, wonderful junk.
• There’s often overlap with used-car and car-related market energy in the broader area.
• This is not a curated vintage boutique — it’s a real flea market.

• Go early, then set a hard end time (2–3 hours is usually plenty).
• Bring cash and small bills; vendors vary and cards aren’t a safe assumption.
• Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dusty or muddy depending on the season.
• Keep valuables close — treat it like any busy market environment.

Pick the market that matches your mood — each one is a different version of the city.

• Dolac: iconic, central, classic first-timer pick.
• Britanac: neighborhood square + antiques vibe (easy, charming).
• Hrelić: biggest treasure hunt (best if you enjoy flea markets).

• Don’t over-buy. The best finds are often small: prints, objects, books, little design pieces.
• If you’re staying short-term, avoid bulky purchases unless you’ve planned transport.
• Pair it with a calm afternoon: cafés and parks afterwards make the day feel balanced.
