What most tourists miss on their first trip to Brussels…
Most tourists stay in the center, but Saint-Gilles and Schaerbeek hold some of Europe’s finest turn-of-the-century architecture.
While inspired by Art Nouveau, these streets feature a full mix of eclectic facades…. and with major restoration works freshly completed, you can finally see them in full detail (if you can get a break from the Brussels rain OC! We couldn’t the last time).
📍 Saint-Gilles: Home to Horta Museum & quiet residential gems.
📍 Schaerbeek: Look for detailed sgraffito murals along Avenue Louis Bertrand.
Save this for your next trip to Brussels 🇧🇪
