Its gothic church, inaugurated in 1543, in the centre of town, has a conspicuous tiered spire.[1]

The town is served by Diegem railway station, which is situated on the Brussels - Leuven railway line between Haren Zuid and Zaventem stations.

Diegem's situation just outside the Brussels-Capital Region and close to both Brussels Airport in Zaventem and the R0 (the Brussels orbital motorway) mean it has a large number of business premises.

Its postal code is 1831.

Football club Diegem Sport is the town club and plays in the Belgian Third Division.

Brussels Airlines has its corporate head office in the b.house on the grounds of Brussels Airport and in Diegem.[2][3] Brussels Airlines formed in 2006 as a result of a merger between SN Brussels and Virgin Express.[4]
