Antiques Market

Northeast Belgium


This is one of Belgium's best flea markets, with a large number of brocante stalls and some serious antique dealers.

Come very early for any chance of a real bargain. Stalls fill many streets but the epicentre is Veemarkt and Leopoldwal (the eastern inner ring road).
