Many kids, possibly you included, didn’t have the best experience with Brussels sprouts. Good thing we’re not talking about those funky vegetables in the paragraphs below. We’re talking about the capital city of Belgium and its wonderful bike trails, tasty beer and epic orchestra. Take a look at Wotif’s insanely great deals on hotels in Brussels and see it all for yourself.

Getting Around Brussels

Guess what? Flights to Brussels will land at Brussels Airport (BRU), 16km from the city centre. Not only can you take the metro straight from BRU to downtown, but it’s also a great way to explore the city. So is getting a bike rental and peddling about town—there’s just something about bicycles the Belgians love.

When You Land

Speaking of bikes, if you’re touching down in the morning, that’ll give you plenty of daylight to take a bike tour of the city. Burn off the morning hours riding trails in the Sonian Forest. By the time you emerge from the woods, it’ll probably be afternoon, which is a perfect time to hang out in the Grand Place, also known as the Grote Markt.

Are you on one of the Brussels flights that’s landing in the evening? If so, head to the Centre for Fine Arts, also known as the Bozar, and catch a performance by the National Orchestra of Belgium.

Live Like a Local

One thing travel books won’t mention (but locals will tell you is a must-do) is the comedy scene at the Belgian Comic Strip Centre. After you’re through laughing your arse off, go antique shopping in the Sablon district. Maybe pick up a nice vase for Mum.

You may not like Brussels sprouts, but you should definitely give the city a try. Browse our phenomenal offers on cheap flights to Brussels and book your ticket today.
