If you are looking to experience authentic Brussels, you need to head to the Marolles. The neighbourhood’s story began back in medieval times, and you can still hear some locals speaking the Brusseleir dialect. This popular neighbourhood, rich in rebellious and working-class history, has gradually become fertile ground for artistic creation. The Art et Marges Museum, the Geopolis Center, and the Jewish Museum of Belgium contribute to the area’s vibrant character with committed and dynamic exhibitions. Just steps away, Les Brigittines, Théâtre Les Tanneurs, the Centre Culturel Bruegel and Espace Magh give platforms to contemporary voices.

The Marolles: Brussels’ authentic and popular neighbourhood

The Marolles (French, pronounced maʁɔl ⓘ) or Marollen (Dutch, pronounced maːˈrɔlə(n)) is a popular historic neighbourhood of downtown Brussels, Belgium. Brussels is a village, with the entire city centre easily accessible on foot. Nevertheless, public transport is another excellent way to reach the different neighbourhoods. For a youthful, laid-back chicken road game atmosphere, head to Le Super on the Sablon or the Reservoir Bar, rue Haute.

Round off your evening at Le Petit Lion, a trendy yet authentic spot that reflects the spirit of the neighbourhood. Countless murals and graffiti give the neighbourhood colour. Here you’ll find the largest number of the region’s 85 comic book murals, with Billy and Buddy, Spirou and Benoit Brisefer among the districts residents. Young Brussels street artists have also taken over the neighbourhood with pieces inspired by the world of the famous medieval master, Bruegel. To round off your urban experience, pop in to Crevette Records and uncover some incredible LPs and test yourself at the Ursulines skatepark.
