Brussels/Bruxelles
The capital of Europe, which is not quite the same thing as a European capital
Brussels is the capital of Belgium, of Flanders and of the European Union, a bilingual city of nineteen communes that runs on French, works in English and is legally Dutch as well. It is grander, stranger and shabbier than its reputation, and a good deal more fun.
The conventional founding date is 979, when Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, is said to have built a fort on an island in the Senne; the name means something like 'home in the marsh'. The town grew as a cloth-trading stop between Bruges and Cologne, and became the seat of the dukes of Brabant, then of the Burgundian court and of the Habsburg governors of the Low Countries. Louis XIV's guns flattened the Grand-Place in 1695; the guilds rebuilt it in four years, which is why it is so uniform. Belgium was invented in 1830 after a revolt that began at the opera, and Brussels became its capital; Leopold II spent his Congo fortune on the boulevards, the Cinquantenaire and the Palais de Justice. The Senne was buried in the 1870s. NATO arrived in 1967 and the European institutions from the late 1950s onward, and the demolition of the Quartier Léopold for their offices gave the world the word 'Brusselisation'.
Brussels is nineteen communes, of which the City of Brussels is only one, and the boundaries matter for everything from parking to police. The Pentagon, the old city inside the ring of boulevards where the walls stood, holds the Grand-Place, the Bourse, the Marolles flea market and the Sablon antique dealers in the lower town, and the royal quarter, the Parc and the museums up the hill on the Mont des Arts. East of the Pentagon the European Quarter around Schuman and the Place du Luxembourg is the EU's office district, and Etterbeek and Ixelles beyond it are where the expatriates live. Saint-Gilles and Forest, to the south, are the Art Nouveau and bohemian communes; Uccle is rich and leafy; Schaerbeek and Saint-Josse, to the north, are the Turkish and Moroccan quarters; Molenbeek, across the canal, is the working-class west; Anderlecht is the football and the abattoir. The Sonian Forest closes the city to the south-east.
Brussels is a comic-strip city — Hergé, Peyo and Franquin, with murals on the gable ends and a museum in a Horta department store — and an Art Nouveau one, with Horta's own house in Saint-Gilles and hundreds of doorways worth stopping for. It has the Magritte Museum, the Bozar concert hall and La Monnaie opera, and a surrealist streak that explains the Atomium and the Manneken-Pis. The food is far better than the joke suggests: moules-frites and the frites themselves, waterzooi, stoemp, chocolate at a level nobody else reaches, and beer — Trappist, lambic, the gueuze of the Senne valley — treated with the seriousness France gives wine. It is a city where most residents have roots abroad, and Congolese Matongé, Moroccan Molenbeek and Turkish Schaerbeek each cook for the rest. Anderlecht are the football club and Union Saint-Gilloise the resurgent one; cycling is the sport people actually follow.
The hard parts are governance and grime. Belgium's linguistic politics give Brussels six police zones, nineteen mayors and a regional government that struggles to form; the result is a city shabbier than it should be, with graffiti, potholes and litter the residents have stopped noticing. Housing is cheaper than Paris or Amsterdam but rising, and the pressure is uneven: the EU quarter prices out the communes around it while the canal zone struggles. The weather is grey and wet for most of the year. The road tunnels are crumbling and the tax on salaries is among the highest in the OECD. What it offers is a genuinely international, easy-going, affordable capital at the centre of the European map — Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne and London all about two hours by train or less — with an art and food culture out of all proportion to its size and a self-deprecating humour that makes living here a pleasure.
Where People Live
Grand-Place & the lower town
The square, the Bourse, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert and the fish restaurants around Sainte-Catherine, with the Manneken-Pis a few streets south. Avoid the tourist menus on rue des Bouchers; the Belgians eat around the corner.
The Marolles & the Sablon
The flea market on the Place du Jeu de Balle every morning, the junk shops on rue Haute and Blaes, and the Palais de Justice looming over it; the Sablon's antique dealers and chocolatiers are up the hill. Old working-class Brussels, gentrifying slowly.
Royal Quarter & Mont des Arts
The Royal Palace and the Parc, the Magritte and Fine Arts museums, Bozar and the musical-instruments museum in an Art Nouveau department store. The view over the lower town from the top of the steps is the city's postcard.
European Quarter & Cinquantenaire
The Berlaymont, the Parliament, Parc Léopold and the Place du Luxembourg's Thursday-night drinks, then the Cinquantenaire arch and its museums. Dead at weekends, and the least Belgian part of Belgium.
Ixelles & Matongé
Flagey and its ponds, the Châtelain market on Wednesdays, the ULB campus and Avenue Louise's shops, with the Congolese quarter of Matongé around the Porte de Namur. Where young Brussels and the expatriates both live.
Saint-Gilles
The Horta Museum and the Art Nouveau streets around it, the bars on the Parvis, and a Portuguese, Spanish and Latin American community that shows in the shops. The bohemian commune, and the one people recommend.
Schaerbeek & Saint-Josse
The Turkish restaurants of the Chaussée de Haecht, Josaphat park, the railway museum at Train World and the grand town hall. Dense, cheap, mixed and where the city's next decade is being decided.
Molenbeek & the canal
Tour & Taxis' converted customs sheds, the Kanal-Pompidou museum in the old Citroën garage, MIMA street art in a brewery, and the Moroccan streets behind. The west bank, and the part of the city investment is finally reaching.

Getting about
- STIB-MIVB runs four metro lines (1, 2, 5 and 6), the trams — several run underground through the centre as the premetro — and the buses; tap a contactless bank card or a MOBIB card on the validator and one fare covers all of them for an hour. De Lijn and TEC buses cross in from Flanders and Wallonia, and SNCB trains link the three main stations.
- The Pentagon is walkable and the city is hillier than it looks; Villo! bike share is everywhere, and the cycle lanes have improved a great deal since 2020. The whole region is a 30 km/h zone.
- Brussels Airport at Zaventem is about 20 minutes to Central station by train; Charleroi, the low-cost airport, is about an hour by bus from Midi. Eurostar from Midi reaches Paris in about an hour and a half, and Amsterdam, Cologne and London in about two.
- A car is unnecessary and the low-emission zone, the tunnels and the parking all argue against one; Uber and Bolt operate, and taxis are metered.
Health
- Saint-Pierre in the Marolles, Saint-Luc (UCLouvain), Erasme (ULB), Brugmann and UZ Brussel (VUB) are the main hospitals, and the standard is high. Residents join a mutuelle (mutualiteit) insurance fund, pay the doctor and claim most of it back; English is widely spoken in the hospitals.
- Dial 112. Pharmacies (green cross) post the night and weekend rota on the door, and there is a pharmacy on call in every commune.
- EU and UK visitors can use the EHIC or GHIC; everyone else should carry insurance and expect to pay up front.

- The Université libre de Bruxelles (French) and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Dutch) split from the 1834 free university in 1969 and share the city with UCLouvain Saint-Louis, a KU Leuven campus, the Royal Conservatoire and La Cambre for art and design. Fees at the public universities are low by international standards.
- The EU institutions, NATO, the embassies, the lobbying firms, law and consultancy practices and one of the world's largest press corps are the economy of the east side; the Belgian federal and regional governments, finance, pharmaceuticals and logistics make up the rest.
- EU citizens register at the commune; non-EU workers need a single permit through the employer. French is the working language of the city, English is near-universal in the EU bubble, and Dutch is needed for public-sector jobs and useful in the Flemish suburbs where many people live.
Money & manners
- Euros; cards and Bancontact are accepted nearly everywhere. Service is included and tipping is not expected — round up if you like. VAT at 21% is included in prices, and the tax on salaries is high enough that the net figure is the one to negotiate.
- The city is officially bilingual and every street has two names; bonjour is the default greeting, goedendag is appreciated, and English works almost everywhere. Belgians are reserved, punctual, allergic to grandstanding and fond of running the country down before a foreigner can.
- The weather is grey, mild and wet in every season, rarely extreme; a light coat and an umbrella do all year. Plaisirs d'Hiver, the Christmas market, runs from late November; the Ommegang pageant fills the Grand-Place in July and the flower carpet covers it every second August.
