Live like a local
Ixelles, south of the city centre, takes on a more residential vibe, with town houses decked out with greenery, mixed in with grocery stores and laidback corner cafés.
Café Belga
During summer time you'll have to look for a free spot it in the sun, but it's worth it. The place-to-be to sit back and relax with a fresh VEDETT in your hand.
During wintertime you can find warmth in the hippest corner of Flagey Squarre, and visit the reknown culture house devoted to music and moving images
Flagey
Culture lovers of all ages are welcome in this beautiful Art Deco building, to take part in various events which range from concerts of jazz, world, classical and contemporary music, to film events and video projects.
Abbaye de La Cambre
The gardens of the Abbey of La Cambre are located between the ponds of Ixelles and the Bois de la Cambre, on a hilly ground. It is here where I found the courage to kiss my future wife, and the place where I asked her to marry me
Bois de La Cambre
The green lungs of Brussels at your doorstep.
It stretches from Av. Louise to the Forêt de Soignes.
The park has lawns, playgrounds, a roller-skating course and and island on the lake, where you can enjoy your morning coffee at Chalet Robinson café/brasserie. Just take the €1 ferry and enjoy.
Market
Cosy local market on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ideal place to buy your groceries, meet friends and enjoy a couple of oysters with a glace of white wine
