Saint-Gilles (Sint-Gillis)

About Saint-Gilles (Sint-Gillis)

Saint-Gilles is the bohemian heart of Brussels. Known for its extraordinary Art Nouveau architecture — the Horta Museum is here — the Parvis de Saint-Gilles with its daily market and sun-drenched terraces, and a relaxed, village-like atmosphere that makes you forget you're five minutes from the city center. The streets are full of independent coffee shops, second-hand bookstores, and natural wine bars. A young, creative crowd calls it home: artists, designers, filmmakers, and the expats who find the EU Quarter scene too corporate.
