Once nicknamed “the Devil’s Corner,” this former industrial zone tucked between the city’s central boulevards and the canal is now one of Brussels’ most exciting places to explore.
Red-brick factories from the 19th century are turning into sun-drenched lofts. Secret art galleries pop up where machines once roared. Startups are moving in, and night owls have made it their new playground.
Here, organic cafés share the sidewalk with culinary rebels and indie designers rub shoulders with avant-garde art spaces. But behind the freshly painted walls, the past still whispers. Gentrification always comes with questions. Who called this place home before the hype? What remains of the working-class spirit beneath the surface? Follow your guide through a neighbourhood where the soul of old Brussels meets a new creative heartbeat.
This guided tour takes place just before the Insingizi concert at Vanhaerents Art Collection.
