Bring a flashlight to look thru dusty stacks of canvases, and a magnifying glass for checking out those ancient sterling silver or gold hallmarks. Generally be prepared to have fun, but you might get dusty and thirsty. <\/p>\n<p> The antiques markets in the area of Place du Grand Sablon are the best, and offer a myriad of objects d\u2019art for visitors on the maze of streets emanating from the square, and in the square itself. Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm, Sundays 9 am to 1 pm. Famous for antiques from the 1900\u2019s thru the \u201830s and furniture especially. <\/p>\n<p> Daily there is a Flea Market (the Marche aux Puces ) at the Place du Jeu de Balle, near the Palais de Justice. It opens at 7 am and closes around 2 pm, an early-bird type of thing.  <\/p>\n<p> Also for fun is the Boulevard de la Woluwe open only on the First Sunday of every month from 8 am until 1 pm. Then there is the Westland Shopping Center on Sundays from 8 am until 1 pm; and the Auderghem at Place Pinoy, also only on Sundays, but from 7am until 1 pm.  <\/p>\n<p> Just imagine what you can find here in Brussels at the Flea Market! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgium has been a center of the art world for centuries, and the flea markets abound with some amazing finds.
