For fresh fruits & vegetables, meat & fish, spices and even furniture and clothes we advise you to visit one of Brussels’ public markets.

On Sunday morning one of the biggest markets in Europe takes place, the so-called South Station Market. Another great place to wander around is The Marolles. It is one of the oldest and most authentic districts of Brussels. Every day from 7.00 till 13.00 there is a flea market on the Vossenplein. You can find a lot of cheap products over here and it is the place to be if you want to meet some locals. On Sunday mornings you can visit the Market in Jette. It has about 300 stalls and the ideal place to taste typical, fried chicken. Go to Koning Astridplein, in Jette (take a metro to Simonis).
