Holidays in Brussels

An introduction to Brussels

Feeling the need for some hard earned self indulgence? Then look no further than holidays to Brussels. It's all about treating yourself to a bit of what you fancy in the European Union's premier city.

When diplomats, ambassadors and Heads of State make a habit of stopping by, you learn a lot about laying on the luxury – and boy, Brussels has been an A-grade student. It doesn't matter if you're planning to punish the plastic or hoping to keep things cheerfully cheap, holidays in Brussels are bursting with ways to satisfy your whims from start to finish.

Gastro geeks will be in seventh heaven. Every other shop's dedicated to that oh-so-Belgian blend of chocolate and praline. Every bar and cafe overwhelms you with an enormous selection of delicious beers. And whether you're tucking into a hot waffle from a street stall or diving into the classic moules et frites in an intimate cellar restaurant, your taste buds are in for a treat.

But Brussels holidays aren't just about expanding your waistline. There's over forty museums covering everything from Magritte to the magic art of beermaking. There's impressive buildings like the utterly unique Atomium and the daunting Palace of Justice. And there's that Brussel's must-see, the Manneken Pis. Not to mention countless antique shops, designer dens and the odd flea market waiting to lighten your wallet.

If there's one spot that captures all that's great about travel to Brussels, it's the Grand Place – the name says it all. A beautiful square, lined with grand Gothic guildhalls, fringed by friendly bars and cosy cafes – the perfect place to end the day.
