This exclusive walking tour offers you the chance to closely explore the key historical and cultural landmarks at the heart of Brussels. Starting from the Grand Place, you will discover iconic sites such as the majestic City Hall and the King's and Guild Houses. You will encounter the famous Manneken Pis and the heroic Gabrielle Petit. As you stroll through the charming streets of Brussels and the Royal Galeries, you will also visit the Cathedral and see the Royal Square and the Royal Palace. While enjoying breathtaking views from Mont des Arts, you will make your way back down to the Grand Place.
Brussels weather can be unpredictable. Depending on the season, you may need an umbrella or a rain poncho. The humidity in Belgium can make winters feel colder and hot days feel even warmer, so it's wise to bring an extra layer in winter and a bottle of water during the summer.
Cash points can be limited in Brussels, and currency exchange offices often offer poor rates. Whenever possible, withdraw cash directly from ATMs. Brussels uses euros (€),so consider withdrawing euros before you arrive or using the cash points available at train stations or the airport upon your arrival.
Many museums and shops in Brussels are closed on Mondays. It’s a good idea to plan activities such as day trips or to explore the city on that day.
Be prepared for longer-than-usual passport control lines at Brussels International Airport, which can take up to three hours.
If you’re heading to the city center, the train is your best option—it's faster (about 18 minutes) and much cheaper (€10) compared to a taxi (€50).
It’s best to stay in the city center, close to the Grand Place and Central Station. Some neighborhoods, like Midi and North (near the train stations), can be less appealing, so prioritize central areas for a more enjoyable stay.
Brussels is a food lover’s paradise, offering a variety of sweet and savory treats. However, most, if not all, chocolates here may contain traces of nuts, so be mindful of your allergies and communicate them clearly when dining out.
Brussels boasts incredible museums, including the Musical Instruments Museum (home to the world’s largest collection), the Old Masters Museum, the Magritte Museum, the Horta Museum, and Train World.
Brussels is best explored on foot, but keep in mind that many streets are cobblestoned and the city is quite hilly. Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes!
American Express isn’t widely accepted in Belgium, so be sure to have a VISA or Mastercard on hand for most purchases.
