Place St. Gery – my favorite area to hang out in Brussels. 布鲁塞尔聚会好去处

Place St. Gery is one of my favorite spots to hang out with friends in Brussels. The square is around the St. Gery Hall which is the place to be. It is a rather small square yet busy with lots of bars where one can relax and enjoy the Brussels gem.

The area is is full of cafes, it is especially nice during the summer time when everyone enjoyed “terrasjes doen” (Flemish word, means sit outside in the terrace). Most of the time on a warm sunny day, you will find the terraces full. But no worries, there a lot of cafes around and they are spacious inside. You can find all kinds of cafes here, big, small, jazz, etc.

让我们一起去布鲁塞尔中心的一个非常热闹的酒吧聚集的St. Gery 广场看看。St. Gery广场以一个旧时的带顶棚的市场命名。广场虽然很小,但是周围都是各种小酒吧,是过来放松娱乐的好地方,是城市里很有特色的地方。

我也很喜欢来这里聚朋友,尤其在夏天天气好的下午,大家从下午开始就开始露天喝酒,享受阳光。广场附近酒吧非常多,有大有小还有一些爵士和live吧。所以完全不用担心没有空位。

Brussels is not a very big city and its center is fairly compact. Place St. Gery is simply one block away from the DQmRt7HaUaZZJgh1tr4kEzwLZiL4i52y4FiiKopx2T2bzqg_1680x8400.jpgthe Brussels Stock Exchange building and only 10 minutes away from the Grand Place. You can find many locals as well as tourists coming here, so it makes a nice mix.

跟欧洲很多城市一样,布鲁塞尔的中心虽小,五脏俱全。从主街上过来只要两分钟,从大广场走过来也不到十分钟就到了。所以在St. Gery广场可以看到游客和当地人很好的结合,而不像大广场那里都是游客。

St. Gery厅是一座19世纪建成的市场,我很喜欢这个建筑。

The building was completely restored several years ago. Now it is open everyday from Capture.JPG10 to 18 o’clock. It is used as a permanent information and exhibition space, with urban planning and heritage as its central themes. Many temporary exhibitions are held here every month. Inside there is a cafe and snack bar. date.JPGEvery first Sunday of the month, there is a vintage market taking place in the hall.

这座建筑在几年前完全整修过。现在每天10点到18点开放,现在被用作一个展览空间,主要展示以城市规划为主题的展出,每个月都会举行许多展览。里面有几个咖啡厅和小吃店。每个月的第一个星期日,大厅摇身一变成了一个二手市场,以前我常过来逛。

The square is located in a cool area of Brussels city, near Les Marolles district. I saw some young artists painting graffiti on the walls.

这个区域有点酷,今天去的时候还看到有人在墙上涂鸦。

Seemingly quiet in the morning

Belgium a beer Kingdom, I hope when you come visit, it would be a sunny day, then you can enjoy tasting all different Belgian beers in the terraces here.

比利时可谓是啤酒王国,在我们这里喝酒,品种多又便宜。我希望你们来比利时玩的时候,是好天气,这样可以充分体验我们这里露天品酒的文化。

In the Place St. Gery area, there are many Asian restaurants as well, sometimes we call this area “Little Asia”. If you like Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese food, after a couple of drinks in Place St. Gery, you can find your dinner easily around.

St. Gery广场附近也有很多亚洲餐厅,当地人喜欢叫这里“小亚洲”。从泰国菜到粤菜,应有尽有。可以喝完酒,再去周边找一家吃晚饭。
