Wander the Vieux Marché on place du Jeu de Balle, Brussels' open-air flea market in the Marolles. Rummage through stalls of books, vintage clothes and curiosities, haggling for finds in a lively, colourful setting.

📖

Full description

The Vieux Marché on place du Jeu de Balle is Brussels' famous antiques and flea market, held in the open air in the Marolles district. Stalls and shopfronts around the square offer books, clothing, boards, bric-a-brac and curios, with the selection changing from day to day.

Visitors compare the colourful chaos to a souk, and bargaining is part of the experience. It runs in the morning into the early afternoon, so it suits an early start, and about an hour is enough to wander through.
