Brussels Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Belgium · BRU
Brussels punches above its size as the de facto capital of the EU, with the ornate Grand-Place, world-famous chocolate and waffles, and a huge beer culture as everyday draws — not just political headlines. It's also a very central rail hub for day trips across Belgium and into neighboring countries.
April-June and September offer mild weather for wandering the compact center. High-speed rail makes Bruges, Ghent, or even Paris and Amsterdam realistic day trips from Brussels.
