Veemarkt Sunday Market is a food market in Sint Michiels, Bruges.
The Sunday market on the Veemarkt in Sint-Michiels, on Koningin Astridlaan, is where Bruges locals shop away from the centre, with food stalls.
Tip: South-west of the centre in Sint-Michiels, so a short ride out. The most local of the city's markets.
Address: Veemarkt, Koningin Astridlaan, 8200 Brugge, Bruges
Diksmuids Boterhuis on Geldmuntstraat has been a Bruges food shop since 1936, with a counter of West Flemish cheeses, farmhouse bread and cured ham.
Tip: A picnic shop as much as a deli; build a canal-side lunch from the cheese and bread counter.
The Vismarkt in Bruges has sold North Sea fish under its stone colonnades since 1821, with the catch, grey shrimp included, laid out five mornings a week.
Tip: Come Wednesday to Saturday morning. The colonnade itself, built 1821, is worth the walk even off market hours.
On Wednesday morning the Markt in Bruges fills with a food and flower market under the Belfry, with cheese, produce and seasonal farmers' stalls.
Tip: Get there before noon. The market shares the square with the Belfry, so it is easy to pair with sightseeing.
Every Saturday morning the large food and general market spreads across 't Zand and Beursplein in Bruges, drawing locals more than tourists.
Tip: The biggest of the city markets. Come early for the food stalls before the crowds thicken toward noon.
