The Marolles is the place to be for those fond of vintage, second-hand stuff and antiques.
Love shopping at local markets or drinking Belgian beer in a nice café? Then this is the place to be. The Marolles is Brussels' oldest working-class neighbourhood. The neighbourhood offers a cluttered appearance, but those who look further will certainly discover its charm. The Marolles is all about antiques and second-hand goods. There has been a flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle every day since 1640. So for a facelift of your interior, this is the right place. There are also numerous brown pubs and, in recent years, hip cafés and shops have been popping up. One original shop after another appears in Hoogstraat. This is also a popular neighbourhood among locals.
