Known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”, Minnesota’s 11,842 lakes rack up more shoreline that all of the states of California, Florida and Hawaii combined.

With so many bodies of water to explore, it’s no surprise that the state is packed with boat and fishing enthusiasts, with the highest ratio of boat owners in the country. But what about those to keep their feet on dry land?

Minnesota’s “Twin Cities” – the capital Saint Paul and neighbouring Minneapolis – are ideal destinations for visitors looking for a little retail therapy, and those in search of more unique products will find them at the state’s many flea, vintage and country markets.

If you’re looking for a fun flea this week, here are 15 of the best flea markets in Minnesota:

1. Mercado Central

One of Minneapolis’s busiest markets, the Mercado Central is open from 6am every day, with more than 35 vendors and services to visit.

If you are looking for a unique gift, Mercado Central has merchants selling clothes, toys, jewellery, flowers and more, alongside artisan food and everyday groceries.
