Personal comments

The best places to go out at night are in the Oud Markt or go to Vila Ernesto (a cuban bar). My favourite cafe is Dwerf, to drink something warm and talk with friends. Do not miss the weekly market every saturday and the Christmas market, in December. Be informed about the events at STUK!
