Saint-Jacques, a few steps from the Grand-Place
Brussels' queer heart is the Saint-Jacques quarter, around Rue du Marché au Charbon and Rue des Pierres, a few steps from the Grand-Place. The Rainbow House on Rue du Marché au Charbon is the community hub, and Belgian Pride marches through the centre every May.
