Belgium Brussels-Capital St. Gilles

Saint Gilles croix de vie by Spiterman

St. Gilles is culturally unique due to its diverse residents. Its busy market and exceptional architecture are also rewarding.

Saint-Gilles has a multicultural identity stemming from its diverse population. The housing stock varies from semi-derelict tenements, to elegant patrician houses, to tourist hotels at the inner end of the Chaussee de Charleroi/Charleroisesteenweg. Saint-Gilles is also known as one of the centers of artistic and student life in Brussels. Particular architectural delights are found in the dozen or more Art Nouveau houses designed by masters such as Horta, Struyvens, and Hankar, dotted around the upper part of the municipality. The imposing town hall, built between 1900 and 1904, looks larger than it is, and bears a splendid resemblance to a French chateau with Venetian overtones.

I actually just got back from my two week vacation using RoutePerfect! It could not have gone any smoother. I can't speak highly enough about RoutePerfect and how easy it made things for booking accommodations. I actually told my brother about it before his trip to Europe, which he left before me, and he used this site as well and loved it! I tell people all the time about it! Hotels have so much convenience and all the locations were wonderful, so close to everything! I have absolutely no complaints about your site at all and would use it again!!! Hopefully soon!

This site was a fantastic tool to plan our 7-week trip. All the accommodations worked out perfectly and met our expectations. Your website was a great way to get suggestions, look at accommodation types that were available, as well as price ranges. From there I could start tailoring the trip to our travelling preferences. You should be proud of this great tool to empower travellers to do their own arrangements, and at the same time get a great price. I would definitely use this site again and will be highly recommending it to friends and family.
