Things To Do in Brussels
four local expertsLeave a comment
Brussels is truly the heart of Europe. Very centralized and for a capital city, it is not too big and quite cheap. There is a plethora of things to do. A huge amount of the population of Brussels are foreign nationals.
It rains a lot (there is, on average, only two sunny days a month). During the end of work hours, people don’t drive the nicest and often go faster and drive meaner than usual. The city is very green and it has lots of parks, trees and is an overall environnement focused city!
It’s useful to be able to speak English, French, and Dutch. This is because the country is multilingual, and Brussels is essentially the capital of Europe so there are a lot of English speaking people there. Otherwise, I recommend owning a bike because the closer you get to the center, the more traffic there is.
French is the official language in Brussels. However, most people in Brussels understand English or Flemish. Additionally, Brussels has an old city center with a big square and traditional town hall. The city center is usually crowded with tourists and locals, especially during the weekends and holidays. Expect to see a little bit of everything and anything around Brussels.
