More a junk market than a flee market and, until you get into the winding roads at the end, it s only (cheap imported) clothes. Also... watch for pickpockets! They clock you as soon as you enter and work in teams to distract you. The fact that no Romans are anywhere to be seen should be a hint that this this is the worst kind of tourist trap with nothing interesting to uncover. Notting hill market this is not! If you are going to go, skip the first 300 meters near Ponte Sublicio and go directly to Via Napoleone Parboni, as that is where the (few) interesting stalls are.
