Very pleasing compact market. After work it's busy and social: "the place to be seen". Cheese man from place St. Job and Italian vendor also at Chaussée de Boondael. Difficult for parking.

Rond-Point Agora


Art and Craft market (objets créés par l'artisan-même)
Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays : 10am - 6pm
Location: rue du Marché aux Herbes just above Galerie de la Reine

Mainly clothes and accessories. Also stand each of intricately decorated eggs and ornate candles in the shape of flowers. I visited on a Friday.

Place Sainte-Catherine


Daily market
Everyday : 7am - 5pm

This market is meant to be on every day but there are few regular stalls. The best day is the Wednesday organic market. In 2008, the city moved the organic market from place de la Monnaie to this location. However, a stall selling a large variety of potatoes and some onions, an oyster stand (pictured) and a cheese/charcuterie vendor also appear irregularly. Some days there are none.

Rue au Beurre Portraits


Art market - paintings and portraits
Everyday : 11am - 6pm
Location: between the Grand Place and the Bourse - the little street with the fountain.

Over winter I looked for this market on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday but it was no where to be seen... In late Spring, as the tourist season began, a portraitist and a characaturist appeared.

Place du Grand Sablon Antiques


Book and antiques market
Saturday : 9am - 6pm
Sunday : 9am - 2pm

A small but dense market with higher quality goods. A flower seller is also there every week.

Grand Place Flower Market


Flower and plant market
Everyday except Monday and Thursday : 8am - 6pm

Sadly, the bird market seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. Quite small with the addition of vendors of tourist sketches and watercolours.
