The Marolles is the place to be for anyone who loves vintage, second-hand goods and antiques.
The Marolles is Brussels' oldest working-class neighbourhood. The neighbourhood may look a bit messy, but if you look closer, you'll definitely discover its charm. Antiques and second-hand goods are the order of the day in the Marolles. Every day since 1640, there has been a flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle. So if you want to give your interior a facelift, this is the place to be. There are also numerous traditional pubs, and in recent years, trendy cafés and shops have been popping up. In Hoogstraat, one original shop after another is opening. This is also a popular neighbourhood among locals.
