The Feira do Relogio (Market of Clocks) is the largest market in Lisbon and is hosted every Sunday morning in Chelas district. The market is a chaotic mix of stalls – many of them are run by Portuguese gypsies – selling a range of products and goods, including a large fruit and vegetable section, and countless stalls selling clothes and hardware. The Feira do Relogio takes over the main road through the district, and the two rows of market stalls extend for over 1km, attracting many thousands of bargain focused shoppers.
