Brussels, the Heart of Europe and a City of Refined Classical Art

Brussels, Belgium's capital and home to key European Union institutions, is hailed as the “Heart of Europe.” The city beautifully combines medieval architecture, a vibrant artistic scene, and the energy of a modern city. It serves as a major political and economic center, while also being a popular destination for lovers of culture, food, and history.

Exploring Brussels

The Grand Place is the heart of Brussels, bordered by stunning guildhalls and the city hall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At night, its classical charm is heightened by lights, making it even more captivating. The Manneken Pis statue is Brussels' most playful landmark, famous for its legends and costume displays.

Art-loving travelers shouldn't miss the Magritte Museum, which features an extensive collection of classic works by Belgian surrealist René Magritte. The Atomium, recognizable by its metal sphere design, represents science and a futuristic outlook. Climbing to the top spheres provides visitors with panoramic views of Brussels.

Shopping and dining both offer delightful experiences. The Sablon district features luxury chocolate shops and antique markets, while the European Parliament area highlights Brussels' contemporary international atmosphere. Don't miss the classic Belgian waffles, mussels with fries, and Belgian beer, all sure to leave a memorable taste.

The best travel season

Brussels enjoys a temperate maritime climate, making it a year-round destination. Spring (March to May) brings cool weather and blooming flowers; Summer (June to August) brings abundant sunshine, with squares and street performers at their liveliest; Autumn (September to November) offers comfortable weather, perfect for exploring museums and strolling through parks; Winter (December to February) sees cooler temperatures, but Christmas markets and festive lights transform the city into a fairy-tale wonderland.

City transportation

Brussels provides excellent transportation, with an extensive network of metro, bus, and tram lines throughout the city center, allowing quick access to major attractions. We recommend purchasing an STIB-MIVB travel card or a 1-day/multi-day pass for time-saving convenience. Brussels also serves as a European rail hub, with high-speed trains offering seamless connections to Paris, Amsterdam, and London, making it the perfect place to start exploring Europe.
