Things to Do in Brussels

Brussels is well-known for many things – politics, history, architecture, and cuisine, just to name a few. It is easy to be captivated by this relatively small city because of its rich culture and charm. Here are a few interesting facts about Brussels to inspire a visit to this European capital.

Brussels is the political capital of Europe, and it is home to 40,000 EU employees and 4,000 NATO employees. So, not surprisingly, about 27 percent of the residents in Brussels are not Belgian citizens.

Belgians do not share one common language. In fact, there are three official languages in Belgium. In Brussels, people mostly speak French, but all public signs and documents are in French and Flemish Dutch. The third language spoken here is German.

Let’s talk more about chocolate, shall we? It can, of course, be found all around the capital city, but did you know – the airport in Brussels is the largest chocolate-selling point in the world!

The city has an impressive 138 restaurants per square mile, and, at almost all of them, you can find some variation of French fries on the menu. There is even a French fry museum!

1) Mont des Arts

A lovely and elevated point in Brussels that overlooks manicured gardens, the huge spire of the Town Hall, and, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to see Koekelberg Basilica and Atomium in the distance on a clear day.

2) Parlamentarium

If you’re into European politics, this visitor’s section is a Part of the European Parliament that is well worth a visit. Explore the interactive floor map that demonstrates how the EU (European Union) impacts daily life, listen to accounts of EU citizens and their thoughts on the EU, and meet local MEPs (Members of European Parliament) on screen and learn what they do. The exhibition is available in 24 languages, including English.

3) Manneken Pis

The statue of this little guy is actually quite unremarkable, yet it still manages to draw crowds at all hours of the day. It’s true that he does have a wardrobe bigger than most people and, on some occasions, he’s even been known to pee kriek (cherry beer – a Belgian favorite!) He also has a sister nearby named Jeanneke Pis. Make your way over to check her out!

4) European Commission

Located within the Le Berlaymont building, this European Union institution manages the everyday business of the EU from decision-making to legislation proposals to safeguarding EU treaties.

5) Brussels Comic Strip Walk

Brussels is known internationally for its comic culture, perhaps most notably Tintin and his dog, Snowy. Scattered throughout the city are gorgeous murals displaying characters from comics, and it’s like going on a treasure hunt to find them!

6) Parc Léopold

Opened in 1880 and now tucked away in a quiet spot behind the European Parliament in the European Quarter, Parc Léopold is a tranquil favorite among locals to picnic beside the duck pond. You may even get the chance to see some EU pollies (politicians) escaping from their daily grind by chilling out in the park while you’re there.

7) Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert

This beautiful arcade is the perfect place to grab some Belgian chocolates, check out the boutiques, or simply people-watch. The Galeries were opened by King Leopold and his sons in 1847.

8) Place Sainte-Catherine & Neighborhood

This pleasant, upper-class neighborhood in Brussels is often frequented by locals and is known for its seafood eateries.

9) Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula

Completed in 1519, this Catholic cathedral, built in Gothic style, is not too dissimilar in appearance from Notre Dame in Paris. St Michael has been the Patron Saint of Brussels since the Middle Ages, and over the centuries, the cathedral has been a host to Belgium’s events of royalty, including weddings, coronations, and state funerals.

10) Bruges

When one imagines Belgium, one often thinks of Bruges. Canals loop across the town like a string of pearls, creating the well-earned moniker of ‘The Venice of the North’. With cobblestone paths, brick archways, stone churches, and quaint bridges, it’s nearly impossible to take a bad photograph. The addition of swans on the water, horse-drawn carriages in the lanes, and daffodils in the park make it nearly magical.

Listed on UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Bruges has the best-preserved example of a medieval city center, with its bell tower overlooking the wide-open market. With the center closed off to cars, all the stunning beauty and culture of this unforgettable city can be easily explored on foot, although a boat ride along the quiet canals is something not to be missed.

While a small city, to truly uncover the many pleasures around each corner, from lace boutiques and chocolate shops to architectural and historical treasures, give yourself plenty of time to get happily lost.

The train to Bruges is only 1 hour from Brussels, and the tickets are quite cheap!

We can also help you to book a Freetour in Bruges!
