Peaceful Berchem is known for the turn-of-the-century architecture on and around Cogels-Osylei street, ranging from Tudor-style mansions to ornate art nouveau palaces. Vibrant murals brighten the regenerating Nieuw Zurenborg quarter, where Zomerfabriek has a summer program of live music and spoken word. Paths skirt the pond in leafy Brilschanspark, and upscale bistros are scattered throughout the neighborhood.
