Of course, one of our favourite area in Brussels is where the house is located!
Saint-Gilles is a trendy and multicultural neighborhood, and is often seen as a ‘village within the city,’ mostly due to its relaxed artsy atmosphere and cobblestone alleys.
It is also one of the densest Art Nouveau areas in Brussels and you'll be able to discover several hidden architectural treasures walking around the neighborhood.
To admire some of those, you can head to:
- the Horta Museum
- Avenue Paul Dejaer 9 à Saint-Gilles
- Les Hiboux - Maison Art Nouveau
