The best hotel in Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis might serve coffee so strong you remember your first heartbreak, but don't ask me which one, because every traveler swears by a different lobby sofa. People come here for Art Nouveau doors, but stay because they missed their tram while staring at a mural of a cat in a hat. On Mondays, the flea market hides treasures that sometimes turn out to be just old shoes—unless you're a shoe historian, then it's a jackpot. Locals recommend looking up, not down, unless you like tripping over cobblestones with more stories than your uncle at a family reunion.
