Things to Know Before Traveling to Brussels!

01

Check the Weather and Pack Accordingly

Brussels weather can be unpredictable. Depending on the season, you may need an umbrella or a rain poncho. The humidity in Belgium can make winters feel colder and hot days feel even warmer, so it's wise to bring an extra layer in winter and a bottle of water during the summer.

02

Cash and Currency Tips

Cash points can be limited in Brussels, and currency exchange offices often offer poor rates. Whenever possible, withdraw cash directly from ATMs. Brussels uses euros (€),so consider withdrawing euros before you arrive or using the cash points available at train stations or the airport upon your arrival.

03

Plan for Monday Closures

Many museums and shops in Brussels are closed on Mondays. It’s a good idea to plan activities such as day trips or to explore the city on that day.

04

Long Wait Times at Brussels Airport

Be prepared for longer-than-usual passport control lines at Brussels International Airport, which can take up to three hours.

05

Skip the Taxi from the Airport

If you’re heading to the city center, the train is your best option—it's faster (about 18 minutes) and much cheaper (€10) compared to a taxi (€50).

06

Choosing the Right Hotel

It’s best to stay in the city center, close to the Grand Place and Central Station. Some neighborhoods, like Midi and North (near the train stations), can be less appealing, so prioritize central areas for a more enjoyable stay.

07

Train Tickets Offer Flexibility

With a ticket to Brussels, you can travel for free between any train station within the city. For example, if you arrive at Brussels South/Midi station, you can easily catch a train to Central Station, which is just a 2-minute ride away.

08

Food Allergies? Be Prepared!

Brussels is a food lover’s paradise, offering a variety of sweet and savory treats. However, most, if not all, chocolates here may contain traces of nuts, so be mindful of your allergies and communicate them clearly when dining out.

09

Must-See Museums

Brussels boasts incredible museums, including the Musical Instruments Museum (home to the world’s largest collection), the Old Masters Museum, the Magritte Museum, the Horta Museum, and Train World.

10

Comfortable Shoes Are a Must

Brussels is best explored on foot, but keep in mind that many streets are cobblestoned and the city is quite hilly. Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes!

11

Card Payments

American Express isn’t widely accepted in Belgium, so be sure to have a VISA or Mastercard on hand for most purchases.
