A Weekend to Visit Brussels

Florence Consul
By Florence Consul ·

Brussels is a must-see European capital for a weekend. With a train or plane, it is easily accessible from France for you to visit this pretty city.

The Grand Place

The Grand Place is undoubtedly the most beautiful wonder of Brussels! Lined by 17th century buildings, one must linger to look in detail at the houses of the different corporations (the cabinetmakers, the brewers, ... which have a very recognizable facade), as well as the town hall and the Maison du Roi (Broodhuis). This is the must-see visit not to be missed.

The Manneken Pis

It has become over time the symbol of Brussels! This fountain has a humorous note although it dates back to 1619.

The Magritte Museum

The famous Belgian painter is honored in his museum opened in 2009 on the Place Royale in Brussels. His works are discovered throughout the museum with of course his most famous creations.

It should not be confused with the other museum dedicated to him in Brussels, the house where he lived with his wife.

The Comics Art Museum

The Comics Art Museum of Brussels is an originality that will satisfy both children and adults.

The famous comics of Tintin and the Smurfs are honored! We discover the history of comics but also sketches and original drafts by the authors of these works.

The Atomium

Built for the 1958 World Expo, it brings a touch of modernity to the old town of Brussels. The Atomium represents an atom enlarged 165 billion times, impressive!

Sleeping in a Luxury Hotel

For luxury hotel enthusiasts, head to the Amigo hotel! A stone's throw from the Grand Place, its location is already a major asset! It offers ultra-stylish rooms and suites as well as a delicious breakfast for the most gourmand. All with luxurious service.
