The façades in Saint-Gilles are true works of art, playful and colourful, with many paintings and stained-glass windows.
Saint-Gilles is also known as 'a village within the city' thanks to its lively atmosphere. No fewer than 130 different nationalities live there, creating enormous cultural diversity. You can easily take a culinary world tour in this small area. Saint-Gilles also has an impressive town hall on Van Meenenplein. The Voorplein is the neighbourhood where markets and cultural events take place and where you can find trendy shops. On Sundays, head to the Zuidmarkt or relax in Duden Park, which is close to Saint-Gilles.
