Saint-Catherine is the beating heart of Brussels — a mix of old soul and modern edge. Once the city’s fishing port, today it’s a vibrant district where cobblestone streets meet trendy bars, Michelin-starred seafood restaurants, and cozy cafés filled with locals. You can stroll past historic façades, art galleries, and the famous church that gives the neighborhood its name, then end the day watching the sunset reflected in the canal lights. Everything here feels alive — festive in winter with the Christmas market, laid-back in summer with open terraces. It’s the perfect area for those who want to be close to everything while still feeling part of a real, authentic Brussels atmosphere.
