map The European District of Brussels (Quartier
Européen in French) comprises the headquarters of
the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers
and the European Commission.

Before becoming the European District, the

neighbourhood was a tranquil residential area. The
European
immense buildings are bounded by three larges
Parliament
green spaces to the east of the city: Parc de
Bruxelles (Brussels Park), the Cinquantenaire (park
and palace) and Leopold Park.

One of the most famous landmarks of the

European Union is the Berlaymont building that
houses the headquarters of the European
Commission. The fourteen-story building was
founded in 1967 and is in the shape of an X.

If you have enough time

If you are in Brussels for at least 48 hours, we
recommend going to the European District and
exploring the EU’s emblematic architecture, which
is so often shown in the news.

The European neighbourhood is extremely lively

during the week and you’ll often see employees
eating out, or having a quick snack in the parks
when the sun shines. The Place du Luxembourg is
the place to be on Thursday nights when all the
foreigners living in Brussels and Belgians gather to
have drinks and blow off some steam.
