Brussels and related destinations

Waffles aren't just breakfast here – they're an art form, best enjoyed while admiring La Grand Place's gilded guildhalls that seem almost too ornate to be real. The Manneken Pis statue proves even national monuments can have a sense of humour. Duck into the Musical Instruments Museum where vintage saxophones and strange medieval contraptions await behind an Art Nouveau façade. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts houses Flemish masterpieces that make art history textbooks come alive. Chocolate shops offer free samples with such casual generosity you'll wonder if they've miscalculated their profit margins. After dark, tiny pubs serve hundreds of beer varieties, each in its own specially shaped glass – a ritual bartenders take very seriously indeed.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Brussels

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Brussels is during January, February, and August, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to delve into the city’s rich history, culture, and iconic landmarks, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal. This duration allows visitors to experience a range of attractions, including museums, theatres, art galleries, and historical monuments, all offering great value for money. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it’s an excellent opportunity for travellers on a budget to explore the architectural marvels and vibrant cultural scene of Brussels.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Brussels, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, activating email alerts or push notifications will keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you save. With the Smart Shopping feature available in the app, you can compare hotel prices and amenities, giving you the best chance to secure a great deal. If prices drop or availability changes, you'll be promptly notified, making last-minute getaways more accessible.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Brussels hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value.
