Tip: For these major events, arrive as early as 7 am and head for the less crowded areas at either end of the routes. The best bargains are often to be found away from the main thoroughfares.

What is there to do at a flea market in Brussels?

The treasure hunt begins at dawn in the Marolles! Make sure you’ve got a torch and some cash to haggle for the best pieces before the crowds arrive. Connoisseurs tend to focus on the stalls selling ceramics and small pieces of furniture, which are particularly sought-after by interior designers.
To make the most of your visit, start at Rue Haute before heading down towards Place du Jeu de Balle. The neighbourhood cafés are the perfect place to stop for a well-deserved coffee break between discovering new treasures.
Tip: Sellers are more likely to negotiate towards the end of the morning, when they have to pack up their goods. Make the most of this opportunity to make reasonable offers on the items you’re interested in.
