MORE ABOUT BRUSSELS
Be Inspired By The Grand Place
The Grand Place in Brussels is hidden away in the centre of the city but when you enter on foot, you are guaranteed to be left awestruck. At the centre of the Grand Place is the beautiful 15th Century city hall but dotted around the square you will also be impressed by the six guild halls and their striking architecture.
The square is worth visiting several times at different times of the day. On certain days there is a flower market in the square and visiting at night is recommended.
Step Back In Time At The Old England Building
The Old England Building in Brussels was formerly a department store and was built in the very last year of the 19th Century. The building attracts visitors because of its stunning facade but also due to the fascinating and vast musical museum it houses.
The museum is home to more than 2000 musical instruments with historic value and gives guests a chance to listen to many of them. The cafe on the roof of the building provides memorable panoramic views of the city.
Beer Tour
Belgians are very proud of their beer and it has played an important role throughout the history of the city. Tours are available that allow beer aficionados to experience the best pubs in the city as well as learning about the history of the beer and seeing how it is made in one of the city’s breweries.
Whether or not you are a beer fan, this tour is worth considering due to the pride and historical value associated with beer in the city. Tip: check out this Brussels Beer Tasting Tour
Nightlife in Brussels
The nightlife of Brussels is varied and entertaining and has something to suit all tastes and budgets. One of the most worthwhile nights out is Madame Mustache, a club with waiters clad in sailors attire that plays a variety of different music.
Entry is free on weeknights but not weekends. Dancing is the best way to enjoy your night here but if that is not to your liking there is always a table football room on offer. There’s also a 4-Hour Locals Pub and Club Crawl which you can book here.
