Vrijdagmarkt is a relatively unknown but very cosy square with the Museum Plantin-Moretus and numerous terraces and restaurants nearby. On Fridays, the tranquillity gives way to a centuries-old custom: the auctioning of furniture and other items coming from old household contents.
- Weekly auction of second-hand furniture and household goods since the mid-16th century
- Open-air bidding format: furniture and items sold by auctioneer to highest bidders
- Historic plaza recently renovated (reopened 6 Sept 2025) with museums, cafes and restaurants
- Free to attend and observe; opportunity to bid on vintage and authentic finds
- Vibrant casual atmosphere with both locals and tourists; afterwards enjoy terrace cafes
