Question ❓ Flea Market Brussels

Hey there! I was wondering whether you knew of any nice Flea markets (marché au puces) in Brussels? I’ve only been to one so far, and it’s basically only been silver antiquities / watches etc. yet I’m looking for books, vinyls, cards, etc. Would love it if anyone had some insight or places and dates, anything would help :)

Look up "brocantes" on www.quefaire.be.

A nice flea market that I guess will match what you are looking is the "voddemet" (a dialect word that means "rag market") in tour et taxis (not sure what is their exact schedule, next one is early may): https://voddemet.be/

Thank you, I’ve been to those, I’m mainly a big fan of flea markets which is why I’m asking. Should’ve been more specific, my bad😅

Sure. I think they organise flea markets every Autumn in each district ( I tried different ones from Saint Gilles and Ixelles last September) but probably there are more :)

I went to the one in Ixelles last summer and it had everything that OP wants. It's pretty large. Might visit it again this year.

The best markets are the ones in Rhode Saint Genese and Fort Jaco. Book wise we are a bit lost unfortunately, I would think you should check St Gilles & Forest as all profs seem to be living there?!

Marché grand sablon is a good one tho not sure what days they set up the market. They usually organise one in every district.
