Budget & Tips

Want to indulge in chocolate without breaking your budget? You don't have to buy a whole box of chocolates from a chocolate shop. You can buy chocolates, truffles, etc., by the piece. Ask for a mix in a bag, choose the ones you want and enjoy them at a low price!

Sales

Sales take place twice a year, in January (winter sales) and in July (summer sales). Merchants are allowed to reduce their prices under very strict conditions outside these periods.

What's very local

Besides City 2 and Inno, another beautiful shopping center is Docks Bruxsel, on the canal, which combines new buildings and old warehouses.

Among the most popular markets in Brussels are the Marché du Parvis de Saint-Gilles (every day except Monday), the market on Place Flagey, where you can eat as well as shop (on weekends), and the market on Place des Chasseurs Ardennais, where the proximity of the European institutions gives it an international feel (Friday afternoon, on Friday afternoon, you can have an aperitif there), the very posh market of the Châtelain on Wednesday afternoon and finally, the biggest of all, the Marché du Midi, the^3rd biggest market in Europe where you can find everything, coming from all over the world, at prices defying competition.

To finish, china lovers will go very early in the morning to the Place du Jeu de Balle for its famous flea market (open every day). One of the few places in Brussels where you can haggle over prices.
