flea market

There are several markets in Bruges, the principal
Sunday market, Bruges
Saturday market is the most busy one. Less 
important is the one on Wednesday. And there is a
smaller one on Sunday, nearby the cattle market.
It's always a social event, especially the Sunday market.
They have several stalls where one can have a drink, tapas
and a good chat with friends and neighbours.
Do try the local specialities.
There is a more or less permanent flea market in the
center of Bruges, it attracts only tourists. Locals go to
the occasional swap meets. Or the annual antiques fair
at the end of August. 
It's in open air and you can find a wide range of objects;
a 15th century dagger, lying beside some old comics, 
cheap Chinese copies of art deco statues, old fridges and
vintage bicycles. Name it, and they have it.
We were hesitating between an old bakelite telephone
and a plastic, full size lobster.
The lobster won.
