Step into Flagey, the lively Ixelles square where locals gather around the ponds. Browse the market stalls, then grab a coffee on a terrace and stroll the water's edge.
Full description
Flagey is the broad public square in Ixelles that opens onto the Ixelles ponds and is framed by a ring of cafés, restaurants and independent shops. It is also a transport hub, but the atmosphere is far more neighbourhood than interchange: locals meet for coffee, browse bookshops and pass through the large market held on the square.
Reviewers describe it as lively, with plenty of places to choose from and a children's fair in summer. The curved modernist building that dominates the square houses a cultural venue and gives the area its distinctive look.
