The Best Shopping

Shop for Antiques in place du Grand-Sablon (Brussels): You'll need luck to score a bargain at this weekend antiques market -- the dealers are well aware of the precise worth of each item in their stock and are calmly determined to get it. But it's still fun to wander the market, browsing and haggling, and who knows? You just might stumble on that hard-to-find affordable treasure.

Snap Up a Bargain at the Flea Market (Brussels): Each day from 7am to 2pm, the Marché-aux-Puces in place du Jeu-de-Balle offers everything from the weird to the wonderful at rock-bottom prices.
