Overview

Genuine antiques and not-so-genuine "antiques" jostle for attention in Jakarta's ultimate flea market. Stretching half a kilometer, the open-air market winds its way along Jalan Surabaya in the elite residential neighborhood of Menteng. Choose from a vast range of brassware, textiles, ornamental lamps, porcelain, handicrafts, ancient instruments and local crafts at bargain prices. Genuine antiques are available at much higher prices, which is the simplest method by which to differentiate genuine products from imitations. Join the rest in haggling and double your bargains.
