Home to two universities and many local artists, writers and intellectuals, Flagey is known as the youngest and trendiest place to be in the city. This interesting and diverse neighborhood attracts locals, backpackers, and tourists alike. You’ll find a bustling café and nightlife scene here, and if you’re interested in an authentic Brussels experience -- from its multicultural roots and old European architecture to its modern gentrification -- this is a great choice. There are plenty of scenic parks to explore, and you have everything you need right at your doorstep.
