Are you interested in the shops and flea markets (“brokante”) of Brussels? Feel free to go to the study of these "objects", as a result of which you will be able to acquire a variety of rarities - from antique dolls to factory furniture.
Flea market in Jeu de Balle square
This famous flea market is open to the public every day: it is recommended to go here for those who wish to replenish their collections of antiques and original things (many of them captivate not so much with new technologies and functionality, but with their uniqueness). To reduce the price of the product you like, it is recommended to bargain or come to the market closer to the close.
Flea market in the building of the former sea station
Gathering here in October-March (opening - 9 am, closing - 5 pm) "junk dealers" sell antiques, wardrobe items and things with history. It is worth noting that in the building, if you wish, you can have a snack and a drink.
Flea Market at Grand Sablon Square
In this market, collectors and bargainers will be able to acquire paintings, jewelry, household items, dishes and other antiques from local traders. It works from 9 am on Saturdays (until 5:00 pm) and Sundays (until 2:00 pm). Bus number 27 and trams number 92 and 94 go here.
It is worth noting that various interesting events take place in the Sablon area every year: for example, in June you can attend the Art Parade, and in April - at the Festival of Baroque Music.
Flea market on Rue Blaese
It is located on a territory (its size is more than 500 square meters), lined with paving stones, and is open to the public from 8 am to 1 pm (the only non-working day is Monday). Walking around the market, guests will have the feeling that they are visitors to the exhibition hall, where they can also acquire household items from different times and peoples. Among the variety of goods, you can stumble upon vintage jewelry, African figurines, masks and ritual objects, as well as valuable and antiques (some of which can be bought for a pittance).
Shopping in Brussels
Brussels is a city destined for shopping, as there are more than 100 shopping districts here (from shopping streets it is worth highlighting Avenue Louise, Boulevard de Waterloo and Rue Neuve).
You should definitely take chocolate from the Belgian capital (the ideal place to buy is a specialized store where sweets come directly from the local chocolate factory; a 250-gram bar costs from 5-8 euros), lace tablecloths and napkins.
