This street is known for the many bars and clubs. It's the heart of the student neighbourhood. Very young people, mostly drunk students. Totally not classy, but if you like to be drunk, you can try this.

Oudburg is a very charmant street filled with nice restaurants, bars and shops. You will love the mix of young people, locals and tourists. A must go! Also go to 'Patershol', the neighbourhood next to it! It's a very charmant medieval area with small old streets with atypical restaurants and bars.

Nobody says Roccoco but Betty, who is the leading lady of this bar. Only lighting of candles here. It's like you're going back in time. Not for impatient people. Take your time here! Much locals. Very unique place!
