🏛️ Great Market & Old Cathedral in Tongeren - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

The statue of Ambiorix at the Tongeren Great Market and the Old Cathedral of Tongeren in Belgium

Tongeren’s Great Market is the lively main square of Belgium’s oldest city, best known for hosting the largest antiques market in the Benelux every Sunday. Surrounded by cafés and historic facades, it's a vibrant spot to explore and relax.

Next to the square stands the Basilica of Our Lady, a stunning Gothic church dating back to the 13th century. It features impressive religious art, a UNESCO-listed belfry, and an archaeological museum (Teseum) with Roman and medieval finds.

Tips:
- Visit early Sunday for antiques and best deals.
- The basilica is free to enter and worth exploring.
- Don’t miss the Teseum museum and crypt.
- Great spot for a cultural day trip with cafés and shops nearby.
