The beau monde does their shopping here. Those who are fond of eccentric items or like to look at them should definitely visit the Sablon.
Looking for a beautiful neighbourhood where you can stroll at your leisure and relax in a park, this is the place to be. Sablon is traditionally a well-to-do neighbourhood. The textile industry used to be important here. The area around the Grand Sablon is pricey and the streets are lined with boutiques and chocolatiers. Ideal for strolling through. The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe ter Zavel church stands between the Grote Zavel and Kleine Zavel. On Kleine Zavel is a beautiful park, one of the most romantic spots in Brussels. On the pillars surrounding the park are statues representing ancient guilds. Don't forget to stroll through the idyllic Egmont Park!
