Living in Brussels

Brussels sits in the expensive tier — costs are high and you'll need a solid income to live comfortably. Climate is seasonal but manageable — winters exist but don't dominate. Sun is scarce — grey skies are the norm for much of the year. Internet is world-class — fast and reliable throughout the city. There's a real expat scene here — not enormous, but visible and connected. There is genuine depth to explore beyond the obvious.

Perfect for EU insiders and diplomats who need central European networking and multilingualism.

Ixelles not the EU quarter — most vibrant neighborhood, cheaper bars, real Brussels atmosphere.
