Want to know some of the standout things to do in Brussels? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. Drink a Beer (or two) in the Grand Place
Enjoy a glass or two of Brussels’ finest brew in its most famous square. Take in the breathtaking gothic architecture then pop round the corner to see Brussels’ cheekiest citizen, Manneken Pis, the – ahem – urinating statue!
2. Discover Art Nouveau at La Maison Horta
For a few Euros you get the complete art nouveau experience encapsulated in one house. Wander round the property then follow the map on the back of the ticket to track down other similar sites in the city.
3. Visit the Galeries St. Hubert
Shop, or simply admire the architecture of Brussels’ most beautiful shopping gallery. Inside you’ll find some of the finest cafés, clothes, and chocolate.
4. The Mussels of Brussels!
Lighten your wallet and tighten your belt with Brussels’ finest foods: Whilst the ‘Moules et Frites’ (mussels and French fries) are absolutely not to be missed, the chocolate and waffles aren’t half bad either!
5. Find your Groove at the Brussels Jazz Marathon
Every May, around 450 artists, 125 concerts, 50 venues, and thousands of fans descend upon Brussels. With over three days and nights of non-stop music, this is a music lover’s dream.
