Trying to find where the cool people hang out before I move here for an EU job!! Most people say something different every time I ask!!
waterloo_chicWhat is the most trendy neighborhood in Brussels?
waterloo_chicAccepted answer
realist_bxl2Ixelles is usually the winner for people looking for fancy boutiques and art nouveau stuff around Châtelain or Flagey. Saint-Gilles is more about that bohemian vibe with the Parvis square and a very diverse crowd ! You should take tram 81 to see the chic spots around the bars and shops, a good way for feeling the vibe. Dansaert is definitely where the creative crowd hangs out too

Haha_BelgiumAgreed, the area near café Walvis by the canal du Bruxelles is actually a pretty chill spot too
sunnyside_belgium2Sainte-Catherine or Flagey are also great to explore more of the city vibe without being in the middle of the chaos
ExpatsParadiseSablon is the most upscale and refined place for something more traditional, though it costs way more than Ixelles. Good luck
wafflelover882Châtelain and Flagey are amazing for nightlife ... the energy there at night is awesome ...
seen_it_all_beMatongé and Marollen are good places to start looking for walking around. Dansaertwijk and Zavel are also interesting (lots of tourists though)
antwerp_sales_proIxelles is nice for 'luxury' vibes with the big Art Nouveau houses and the Bois de Cambre park nearby
