A Sunday morning filled with antiques, vintage goods, and great atmosphere
Every Sunday, Tongeren-Borgloon wakes up earlier than usual. Hundreds of unique items appear along the medieval city walls: old postcards, tableware, furniture, art, vinyl records, vintage clothing, and curiosities—many of which you only realize you’ve been looking for once you’re there.
The charm isn’t just in what you buy. Searching, comparing, and listening to the stories behind a find make the morning just as special.
Make it a full day in Tongeren
After visiting the market, the historic center is just a short walk away. Stroll to the Grote Markt, have a drink at an outdoor café, or visit the Gallo-Roman Museum and the Basilica of Our Lady.
Are you specifically looking for a larger item? If so, make sure you have enough room in your car and clearly discuss with the seller how you’ll transport your purchase.

Practical Planning
The market is normally held every Sunday morning from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. around Leopoldwal and the surrounding streets. Exceptions may occur. Therefore, please check the latest information with Visit Tongeren-Borgloon shortly before your visit. It pays to arrive early: it’s less crowded, and you’ll have the widest selection.
Hours, prices, and accessibility are subject to change. Always check the official website shortly before departure.
A relaxing weekend instead of an early drive
If you’re coming from farther away, there’s no need to leave before dawn on Sunday morning. Spend the night at De Zwarte Stok in nearby Millen and turn your visit to the market into a relaxing weekend in Haspengouw.
After exploring, you can return to the countryside or discover another of the many sights between Tongeren and Maastricht.
