Bourse surroundings

The new Bourse is a cultural and tourist hotspot, with a skybar, restaurant and brasserie and with access to the archaeological site Bruxella 1238 and the permanent experience centre on Belgian beer culture 'Belgian Beer World'. It is also a central meeting place for everyone.

Not long ago, the Place de la Bourse already received a thorough makeover as part of the works on the central avenues. Now the Rue de la Bourse, Rue Henri Maus and the connection between the Rue du Midi and Rue de Tabora behind the building will follow.

Thanks to this redevelopment, the Bourse will truly become the heart of the city centre, creating an axis from the Grand-Place to the Place Sainte-Catherine.

The project includes the rehabilitation of these public spaces, which are currently in poor condition. The almost completely barrier-free design will improve legibility and safety for pedestrians, who occupy the most important place there.

The entire area around the Bourse will be coated with bluestone. In this way, the Place de la Bourse will fit in nicely with the rest of the pedestrian zone and become a fully-fledged part of it.

Timing, procedure and works

The reconstruction works will start on 2 October 2023 and take 100 working days. The yard will proceed in several phases with a break during Winter Wonders.
