Walk
From the Léopold district to the beating heart of Europe
The Leopold Quarter arose as bourgeois residents gradually settled beyond the Royal Palace in the valley on the left bank of the Maelbeek/Maalbeek stream and subsequently on the slope of the right bank.
With the European Commission taking up residence here in 1960, this district would become increasingly services-focused.
This development saw modernist and postmodernist architecture spring up in the streets and squares.
In cooperation with Brussels Chatterguides.
