Brussels Tourism

The tourism industry in Brussels is alive and booming, especially popular with travellers from the UK, Germany and France, it welcomes holiday makers and tour groups during spring and summer seasons. School groups and tourists arrive in large buses, trains or airports to see the attractions of the European Village and sample famous delicacies such as the Belgian handmade chocolates, multiple flavours of beers and mussels and fries.

You may want to start by looking at where to find tourist information, which is available online and in the main centre (Grand Place) and Central Station. Most tourist activities will begin in the city centre. Other parts of the city are relatively unblemished by souvenir stands and candy stores, which makes it easier to experience an authentic European city. For a great Brussels vacation, the best activities include museums, monuments, architectural walks, nightlife, performing arts and shopping.
