At first I was wondering why the area around the Brussels railway stations weren't all that dodgy,…read moreand then I got off at Brussels north and discovered why. Okay, this section of Brussels certainly isn't all that large, but there are a few bars around here, and you could say some other types of entertainment (like eating kebabs). However, yeah, this place is pretty sketchy, and probably not one of those places I would recommend visiting. Except of course that it is Europe, but yeah, I'd still be careful.
