Location details of this flat for rent in Brussels

Up-and-coming Marollen, or Marolles, is home to hip techno clubs, trendy pubs and shops selling indie fashion, records and antiques. Around the central Place du Jeu de Balle, which hosts a daily flea market that has been held since 1873, there are modern galleries showcasing work by Belgian and international artists. Topped by a golden dome, the neoclassical Palais de Justice high court towers over the neighbourhood.

The area lies in the shadow of the gigantic Palace of Justice. The Cité Hellemans, a remarkable example of early 20th-century collective housing complexes, was built on the site of the neighbourhood’s many squalid cul-de-sacs. Rue Haute, one of the longest and oldest streets in the city, follows the course of an old Gallo-Roman road and runs along with Saint Peter’s Hospital, which was built in 1935 on the site of a lepers‘ hospital, to end at the Halle Gate, the only survivor of the series of gates which allowed passage inside the second walls of Brussels.

The Marolles is located just outside of the historic centre of Brussels. Several subway, tram and bus stations are just minutes away, making this apartment well-connected. Brussels Central train station can be reached in 10 minutes!

Brussels

The capital of Belgium, which houses most of the country’s government organs, as well as the palace for the king of Belgium. Brussels is not only the capital of Belgium but also of the European Union.

Being the capital of the European Union, Brussels houses all of the European institutions such as the EU Commission, NATO, etc… Because of this status, Brussels is considered one of the biggest melting pot of cultures in Europe. In the centre, you can find neighbourhoods from all different cultures which is great for the expat living in Brussels.

There are many museums in and around Brussels’ city centre. On the first Sunday of every month, free entry is granted to many of Brussels’ museums.
