Place Flagey

This is also a place frequently visited by students, especially during summer, when it is possible to enjoy life having a drink at the Belga café, next to Ixelles’ lake.

The Belga is a place really popular to students and there are several reasons to explain it. Practically, this is a big café with an enormous terrace, and a vast choice of drinks. Hence it is an ideal place for big groups. Moreover, the atmosphere is quite pleasant and cozy. And finally, special events are frequently organized on place (concerts, theatre, giant screen during the World Cup, fireworks for the new year…).

If the Belga is probably the main attraction, the recently-ended communal works to renovate the place weren’t at all that appreciated, neither by the local residents, nor by drivers. A renovation that finally lasted more than six years, and was said to have harmed badly local little commerce.
