Other Brussels neighborhoods worth knowing
- Îlot Sacré (Grand Place area)Around the Grand Place — Manneken Pis, the medieval streets, restaurant-touts on Rue des Bouchers. Touristy and overpriced.
- Ixelles (Châtelain)The Place du Châtelain area — Wednesday market, restaurant density, leafy avenues, the city's best neighborhood for slow stays.
- SablonBrussels' antiques-and-chocolate quarter just south of Grand Place — Place du Grand Sablon, Sunday antiques market, the polished centre.
- MarollesSouth of Grand Place between the Palace of Justice and Sablon — flea market quarter, working-class real, dramatically cheaper than central.
