Marolles Flea Market - Brussels    Share

A really nice place to spend you’re mornings and some of you’re fortune in this lovely boot sale. Usually they ask for double the price you can get the items for so you need to be a bit straight on the price you are asking and you might get yourself a very good deal on a lucky find. Enjoy!

We all loved this flea market , which is huge and astonishingly various. L loved bargaining for the clothes he bought. We all bought stuff, even me! Another thing about which one has to say: why don't we have this in London?

A busy and very diverse market: plastic junk and mass market secondhand clothes is next to fur coats, silver jewelry and beautiful crystal lamps. It took me an hour to get around and figure out what is where. At 2pm sharp a policeman comes and whistle to remind about wrap up time. I spent about two hours at this market, during this time there was a couple of local verbal fights, someone broke someone’s glass items, there was an incident of “misunderstanding” when an item was taken for free and so on. If you like hunting for treasures it is highly recommended to visit this place. Prices are reasonable and bargaining is possible.

Definitely an interesting spot to stroll through. Could spend 10 minute to several hours there, depending on how interesting you find the flea market atmosphere. There are tons of people selling all sorts of trinkets and bobs one might consider junk, but I suppose they keep doing it because people keep buying. Check it out if you're nearby.

If you're interested in items of about 20 years and more, then this is your place. I found things that I last saw when I was a kid and more. Good thing though, is that the place is easily accessible, but mehn, you have to have love for antiques.
