The European District is the epicentre of Europe, and a pretty unique melting pot of languages and cultures that you would be hard-pushed to find elsewhere.
If you visit the European District, when you’re in ‘rue Archimède’, ‘rue Franklin’ or in ‘place Ambrioux’, listen out for a mind-boggling array of languages, and English being spoken as the lingua franca with a colourful palette of different accents depending on where people come from. This neighbourhood, which was completely transformed by the construction of the European Union and its institutions, has still managed to hold on to its Brussels character.
Whether you’d like to enjoy spending time on a café terrace, indulging in some fine dining in one of the restaurants, or checking out the specialist boutiques here, you’ll discover a neighbourhood with its very own way of life, full of hidden gems just waiting for you to uncover.
