Schaerbeek (French: [skaʁbek, skaʁbɛk] ; also archaic Dutch) or Schaarbeek (Dutch: [ˈsxaːrbeːk] ) is one of the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium. Located in the north-eastern part of the region, it is bordered by the City of Brussels, Etterbeek, Evere and Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. In common with all of Brussels' municipalities, it is legally bilingual (French–Dutch).
