Brussels, district by district

Brussels is compact, but its neighbourhoods differ sharply in mood, gradient and pace. The medieval Lower Town sits in the valley; the Royal Quarter crowns the hill above; Avenue Louise stretches south toward the forest. Choose your district first, and the right hotel follows.
