In this part of the city centre, you can still admire many authentic façades, and the smell of waffles and chips is never far away.

If you like to stay in the heart of the city, then the historic centre is the place for you. This district is the face of Brussels: here you will find the Grand Place, Manneken Pis, the waffle stalls and the chocolatiers. During the day, the streets are mainly populated by tourists, but in the evening it is a popular neighbourhood that locals also eagerly frequent. This is thanks to the numerous cafés and restaurants and the lively atmosphere. This part of the city also has a vibrant LGBTI+ community and there is something for everyone to enjoy a good night out.
