🇧🇪 Where to live in Brussels

Brussels residential life splits roughly between the historic pentagon in the centre, the café-and-market districts just south and east of it, and the greener residential belts further out. The centre and its edges mix markets, antiques and art-nouveau streets with dense everyday activity, while Woluwe and Uccle are quieter and more oriented toward parks and family living. The European Quarter sits apart again, shaped by the institutions and the international workforce around them.
