The inner city

Brussels Travel Blog › entry 5 of 286 › view all entries

I have now been working more than 3 years in the lovely city of Brussels and I have the last 18 months had the fortune of living here full time. One of the first things I have become to understand is why expats don't want to leave again. When I arrived I had a goal of walking the streets of Brussels and driving the roads of Belgium. One of my goals here is to visit all large cities in Belgium and afterwards know a lot about Belgium.

The inner city

The view from my office

I work in the Centre Monnaie - Muntcentrum which in the middle of town and very close to Grand Place. Centre Monnaie - Muntcentrum is situated at the end of the walking street Rue Neuve. The building is a commercial center, where besides the Belgian Post has it headquarter also host the administration of la Ville de Bruxelles. The design of the building ressembles the "bâtiment Berlaymont" that host the European Commission. The building was completed in 1971 and it is 63 meters high and it has 15 floors.

I really enjoy working there because it is in the middle of the city. The building has now been under renavation for the last couple of years and I have had to change office many times during the first year
