Voor liefhebbers van . Antiek en Brocante. is Tongeren op zondagmorgen h?t trefpunt.
Langs de Middeleeuwse wallen, de Veemarkt, de Eburonenhal en de Clarissenstraat, etaleren wekelijks van 6 uur 's morgens tot 13 uur 's middags, meer dan 350 standhouders hun uitgebreid assortiment van topantiek tot de kleinste snuisterijen.
Omstreeks 5 uur . s morgens stallen de eerste handelaars hun waren reeds uit. Men vindt er werkelijk alles, van koopjes tot investeringen, van klein zilverwerk tot grote meubels, schilderijen, glaswerk enz. De koopjesjacht op brocante kan ook verder gezet worden in de vele antiekzaken, in de omgeving van deze markt.

Vele honderdduizenden hebben Tongeren en zijn internationale antiekmarkt reeds ontdekt en hoeven niet meer overtuigd te worden. Al de anderen raden wij aan om snel te komen.

Wie na het slenteren op de antiekmarkt nog niet te moe is, kan nog altijd de musea en het historisch centrum van de kunststad Tongeren ontdekken.
