City breaks in Brussels mean strolling cobbled streets, eating world-class chocolates,
and contrasting hundreds of varieties of beer. Almost everywhere is in walking distance
from the awe-inspiring Grand-Place, a huge square leading to yet more cafes and
restaurants.
Dining and unwinding on Brussels city breaks
Fuel your city break in Brussels with a tasty street snack, such as a paper cone of
frites chips, dipped in mayonnaise of course. When you've found your
feet, seek out local-style Brussels restaurants, Estaminets, serving
waterzooi, fish or chicken stew and carbonnades flamandes, beef
soaked and softened in Belgian beer, though avoid touristy rue des Bouchers.
Sainte-Catherine is the best part of the city for unassuming but
excellent seafood restaurants. After dinner, finish your Brussels city break with a
night out at a club in Place Saint-Géry or a jazz bar in Ixelles.
Special place to stay in Brussels
Stay close to the Grand-Place to be in the heart of things on your Brussels
city breaks. Fashionistas should choose Brussels' designer-studded rue
Antoine Dansaert. For a smart location and the best chocolate shops, book a
city break hotel in the Sablon district. Looking for an international flavour
on your Brussels city break? The modern glass-and-steel European Quarter will
fit the bill.
Things to do on Brussels city breaks
Fill your bags with goodies to take home from your Brussels city break, starting with
the city's latest fashion boutiques on rue Antoine Dansaert, and
chocolates or antiques from the Sablon area. Tour the city to take in the
quirky cartoons on Brussels' walls, the Art Nouveau Horta Museum and
Surreal art at the Magritte Museum. Buy bargains in the Jeu de Balle
weekend market to round off your Brussels city break.
