Which Brussels Attractions Should I Visit?

Top Attractions in Brussels

The best attractions in Brussels tend to fall into a few camps. There are the big architectural sights that show up in every photo of the city, museums on subjects as different as fine art and railways, and a handful of offbeat places that only make sense once you are standing in front of them. The centre is small enough to combine several in a single day.

Booking tickets online beforehand means you spend that day looking around instead of standing in a queue.

Things to Do in Brussels on a Rainy Day

The weather in Brussels can change quickly, so it helps to keep a few indoor options in your back pocket. Museums, interactive exhibits and covered attractions make up a good share of what the city offers, and many suit a short visit.

That leaves room for a long lunch or a stop for something sweet in between.

Family-Friendly Attractions in Brussels

Brussels works well for families. Several attractions are built around hands-on displays, models and play, which keeps younger visitors interested, and the main sights are close enough together that moving between them with children is manageable.

Age suggestions and access details differ from one attraction to the next, so read the information on each ticket page before you book.

Getting Around Brussels for Sightseeing

Getting around is straightforward. The historic centre is best explored on foot, while the metro, trams and buses cover sights further out. Belgium's rail network also makes Brussels a handy base, so an attraction visit can sit alongside a longer trip to another city.

Pick the attractions that suit your pace, book them online, and leave the rest of the day open for wandering.

Good to Know Before Visiting Attractions in Brussels

Most attractions in central Brussels are within walking distance of each other, so grouping two or three into one day works well.

Brussels is officially bilingual, so signs and announcements are often in both French and Dutch, and staff at popular attractions commonly speak English.

Booking tickets online in advance is the easiest way to secure your preferred date and time, especially on weekends and school holidays.

Opening days and hours vary by attraction and by season, so check the details on each ticket page before you plan your route.

Some attractions limit the size of bags you can bring inside, so travelling light makes entry smoother.

The historic centre has cobbled streets and a few slopes, so comfortable shoes are worth packing.

Weather can turn quickly, so carry a light rain layer and keep an indoor option in mind.

Accessibility differs between attractions, so review the access information on the ticket page if you need step-free entry or other support.
