Young, multicultural, artistic and trendy, Ixelles is still one of the liveliest localities in Brussels. Thoroughfares of shops and stores and perfectly-sited outside tables happily coexist in the mix of local community atmospheres. In the middle, the Saint-Boniface district, loyal to its good food establishments in unfailingly original settings, borders on the highly colourful Matongé quarter. Farther along, Ixelles' Museums of Architecture and Fine Arts flit non-stop between retrospectives and avant-gardism. And then, right at the bottom end of Ixelles, there's Flagey, the old radio broadcasting centre. It's always tempting to go and discover something there. And the more inquisitive can go further, along the edge of the ponds, to admire a myriad of Art Nouveau houses.
