Every single weekend lots of vendors gather in this park to sell their antiques and vintage furniture. Combine your visit with a baguette sold in the northwest corner of the park.

Every Saturday and Sunday at Jardín Dr. Ignacio Chavez in Mexico City’s Colonia Doctores, the Tianguis de Antigüedades is a laid-back scene. Crowds meander through the park, thoughtfully surveying the goods as romantic ballads and salsas play from some of the many vintage radios and turntables up for sale. The merchandise ranges from cheap trinkets to genuine collectible treasures on this stretch of Avenida Cuauhetémoc, a space that only became a park after the Cine Internacional and government building were destroyed in the 1985 earthquake. Vendors hang out together or with similarly-minded collectors, sharing photos of recent finds on their phones, smoking cigs, and sipping the occasional beer semi-hidden under a table or chair. There is military paraphernalia from around the world (somewhat disturbing that it’s mostly from the Nazis), coins and pins, train sets and toy collectables, beautiful jewelry and china, vintage magazines and depraved comedic cartoon art. As I sit taking notes, a vendor chats me up. “Are you writing in English or Spanish?” she asks.

This is a great spot to visit. It's a small park but it's turned into an antiques flea market on weekends. You'll find old books, jewelry, toys, furniture... a lot of things!
