The Marche aux Puces is one of the largest daily flea markets in the world! Here, nearly 200 dealers converge to offer up an abundance of steals and bargains on bric-a-bracs and antiques. This flea market is located near other antique shopping areas such as Place du Sablon and Rue Haute, but offers goods at much lower prices. Get your thrift on and stop by here for deals.
Fishermen sailed (and later steamed) into the heart of Brussels, selling their fresh fish in this charming square. Many of the fishmongers who peddled here decided to stay, and now this whole neighborhood is teeming with seafood spots. During the day this is a teeming fish market, and it's one of the oldest in the city. You can find luxurious restaurants as well as stalls where you can barter for the freshest catch.
Dod is a highly recommended shop. You can buy new clothes and shoes at giveaway prices here. Everything is either seconds or a leftover from last year's collections. They even have brand clothes, but of course not at the normal price. Shoes, coats, trousers, shirts, T-shirts, look around and enjoy the prices. On Saturdays it is usually very crowded here; should you like to look around at ease, come during the week.
Butchers and egg farmers may conjure up a picture of smelly barns, chopping blocks and marketplaces, but this place isn't like that.

Stop by for great ideas on meat preparations and pick up some choice bird or fresh cuts. Locals crowd here, especially on weekends, and the friendly charm of the store and its owners makes it a great spot to meet the townsfolk and get in on their culinary secrets.
