Two municipalities of note are Brussels and Ixelles - Elsene. Brussels brags ravishing architecture, especially on a street christened pompous'district.

Ixelles - Elsene, on the alternative hand, focuses more on restaurants and bars that highlight the refining diversity of Brussels with stacks of sidewalk ethnic restaurants and also upper scale restaurants and services for the more affluent excursionists. The seventeen more municipalities are as exotic as and more culture specific than these two favorite districts.
