Brussels, capital of Europe

As the seat of the European institutions, Brussels is an address with international reach. Setting up here puts you at the EU's decision-making crossroads, with outstanding rail links to Paris (1 hr 20 min), Lille (35 min), Amsterdam and London. A strategic base for any company that wants to carry weight at European level.

Coworking options in Brussels

  • A desk in the open-plan area: a workstation in a shared space, the most flexible and cost-effective option.
  • An enclosed private office: a closed room for one to a few people, confidential, with the venue's services.
  • A private floor: an enclosed space dedicated to a whole team (up to several dozen desks).

Why choose coworking in Brussels?

The strength of coworking lies in its shared spaces and services: a small team gets premium amenities it could never have afforded in a conventional office, at a shared cost. In Brussels, spaces in the European Quarter and Louise cater to a demanding international clientele.

Meeting rooms can usually be booked on a shared basis (some sites also have private ones). A very flexible commitment (often from 1 month), with nothing to manage. And if your team grows, you can often expand within the same building.

Coworking in Brussels: where to set up?

Each neighbourhood has its own feel:

  • The European Quarter (Schuman): EU institutions and an international profile, ideal for Europe-facing organisations, a short walk from Schuman station and the Parliament.
  • The Louise district: modern offices with direct links to the city centre, prestige addresses.
  • Ixelles & Saint-Gilles: a creative atmosphere, blending shared spaces, arts and culture.

In Brussels you'll find spaces run by Silversquare and Servcorp, as well as the IWG group brands (Spaces, Regus, HQ) present in most major European cities. Desk to Desk helps you compare them and choose the right one.
