The flea market in the Sarajevo neighborhood of Stup is an essential meeting point for the citizens of the Sarajevo Canton. It is a place where you can buy, at affordable prices, every good you can imagine. Every Sunday, this market becomes the epicenter of trade, where a diverse range of goods is displayed on improvised stalls, the smoke from grills stinging your eyes. If the hubbub gets a little too much, you may eat or rest for a while, listening to the sounds of voices echoing through speakers, “Everything at a bargain!” or “Almost gone!”.
