Why go
The pleasure here is in comparing neighboring houses rather than reaching one monument. Look at their shapes, materials and names: some façades use flowers or historical figures, while groups of houses develop a shared theme across a street or intersection.
What to look for
- Cogels-Osylei concentrates ornate late nineteenth-century townhouses.
- Waterloostraat includes themed façades, including houses devoted to the seasons.
- Art Nouveau curves appear alongside Gothic and Renaissance revival details.
Useful to know
- Walk Cogels-Osylei first, then use Waterloostraat and Transvaalstraat for closer comparisons.
- The interest is on public streets; leave time to pause without treating private houses as open attractions.
