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 a truly enriching experience, it's recommended to stay for at least 2 to 3 days to fully appreciate the city's remarkable landmarks, cultural gems, and historical sites. During your visit, you could explore various attractions such as museums, theatres, and architectural marvels, along with enjoying live music and engaging tours, all of which offer great value for money while on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals on accommodation in Brussels, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of snagging a bargain. The Smart Shopping feature available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. Stay updated on your favourite hotels so you can promptly book a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could potentially help you save on your stay in a hotel in Brussels. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher end, we can suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, increasing your chances of securing a better deal.
