Saint-Gilles is home to bobos and vintage-lovers. Enjoy its art nouveau buildings and cosy cafés.
This is the district if you are looking for Brussels cosiness. Saint-Gilles is also known as 'a village in the city' thanks to its lively atmosphere. No fewer than 130 different nationalities live together there, creating a huge cultural richness. You can easily take a culinary trip around the world in this small area. Saint-Gilles also has an impressive city hall on Van Meenenplein. Voorplein is the neighbourhood where markets and cultural events take place, as well as the hip shops. Sink down to the Zuidmarkt on Sundays or relax in the Dudenpark which is close to Sint-Gillis.
