Acheen Street Flea Market, Penang
Acheen Street Flea Market is a makeshift flea market that operates on Sunday evenings, from around 5:00 pm onwards, at the heritage enclave of Acheen Street. This is a place to look for antiques and collectibles. If you are willing to sieve through the mountains of junk, there would be the occasional gem waiting for you to take home.
As the Acheen Street Flea Market is located within the core zone of the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is a good place to browse around while also visiting the heritage sites surrounding it. You'd be killing two fleas with one stone, sort of.

The Acheen Street Flea Market is much smaller than the Lorong Kulit Flea Market, which is the biggest in Penang.
