Before there was a modern-day Sablon, there were wetlands grass and sand. At the time when Brussels was a walled city, this area just outside the wall was left unused, other than by a hermit or two. Nowadays, the neighborhood is part of the city center, and there is plenty to see and do when you’re living here. The district's two large squares are bustling with cafés and restaurants. Your apartment is right on the Grand Sablon square, and the Petit Sablon is a short 5-minute walk away. If you enjoy delving into history, you’re in luck, because there is plenty to be found here. The 16th century Palace of Charles of Lorraine and the Royal Palace of Brussels are just 7 minutes away, and you’ll definitely want to walk through the gorgeous gardens there.
