Parking near Marollen

Marollen, located between the Justice Palace and South Station in Brussels, is a historic neighborhood renowned for its vibrant street life, such as Miniemenkerk, Kapellekerk and Vossenplein (famous for daily flea and antique markets), Hoogstraat Blaesstraat Huidevetterstraat (major arteries for traffic). Marolliens in French call this community home.

Over the past two decades, Marollen has undergone a dramatic transformation, moving away from its former reputation of rundown neighborhood. Where once homeless people and drug dealers roamed freely, today its streets are lined with trendy shops - even being labeled "gentrified."

Marollen is known for its distinctive dialect, a hybrid of Brabant, Walloon, Spanish and Yiddish influences. While typical Marols was extinct by mid 19th century, an invented literary version known as Marollien existed which only loosely followed street language usage.

Marollen is home to multiple museums, such as Art & Marges Museum which specializes in outsider or "art brut" art, while Museum of Public Center for Social Welfare of Brussels showcases artifacts related to charities in Brussels as well as historical exhibits pertaining to charity organizations in Marollen. Furthermore, Bruegel House can also be found nearby.
