Top Brussels Attractions You Can't Miss

Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

A refined, early dinner in a calm setting; Comme Chez Soi provides attentive service and accessible seating—reservations recommended for a smooth, comfortable experience.

Escape Hunt Brussels – Group escape-room challenge

A 60–75 minute themed escape-room designed for groups — briefing + game gives roughly 90 minutes total. Energetic, problem-solving fun that’s great for bonding.

Rooftop cocktail at golden hour — The Hotel Brussels Rooftop Bar (special moment)

Sip a cocktail together on the rooftop terrace as the city warms into evening — panoramic vistas create a memorable golden-hour moment.

Rest and Views at Mont des Arts Gardens

Short taxi or gentle walk to the Mont des Arts gardens to enjoy city views and plentiful seating—flowers are in bloom in May, and the area offers easy bench seating and ramps.

Brussels Beer Project – Craft-beer tasting & social bar

A local craft-brewery bar ideal for groups: sample rotating taps with tasting flights and local snacks. Social, lively and great for comparing flavors.

Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Brussels to help you make the most of your visit.

"The square is paved and level; stick to the outer edges where there are benches and fewer crowds.If walking is tiring, sit at an outdoor café (covered if needed) to admire the square—many cafés have step-free access.Bathrooms and taxi ranks are close by on Rue des Harengs and surrounding streets—keep a small card with the hotel address for easy taxi returns."

Easy Viewing at Grand Place (Grote Markt)

"Visit Grand Place with a stroller but avoid the very center if events are set up; stand near the edge to let kids watch pigeons safely.Manneken Pis is a quick stop; pick a less crowded side street for photos and be ready for brief queues.There are nearby public toilets and baby-changing facilities inside larger cafés around the square — ask staff politely."

Grand Place & Manneken Pis — short sightseeing loop

"Reserve a table or arrive early to nab a terrace spot — perfect for group photos and people-watching.Share a few main dishes and starters rather than individual mains — more social and easier to split the bill.If someone prefers low-key, the interior has quieter corners; ask staff when booking to accommodate both lively and quieter friends."

Café Belga – Early dinner or large-group terrace vibes

"Ask for a high chair and a simple kids' option (pasta, chicken or fries) — La Roue d'Or is used to families and flexible with requests.If someone has allergies, mention them when ordering; the kitchen is accommodating and can advise on safe choices.Reserve a table in advance when possible (early dinner slot) to avoid waiting with tired kids — table by the window is often slightly calmer."

Early family-friendly dinner near Grand Place — La Roue d'Or

"Choose upstairs seating or ask for a quiet corner table to avoid standing in the shop area while sampling chocolates.Staff can pre-select small tasting boxes for minimal decision-making and easy transport back to the hotel.If mobility is limited, request assistance at the entrance; the Sablon shops are near several taxi stops for a short ride back to your hotel."

Tea & Chocolate Break at Pierre Marcolini (Sablon)

"Reserve a table in advance and request step-free seating near the entrance for easy access.Ask the staff for a smaller portion or a split dish if you prefer lighter eating; they’re used to accommodating dietary and mobility needs.There are accessible restrooms; mention any mobility aid so staff can guide you to the most convenient entrance."

Leisurely Lunch at Le Roy d'Espagne (near Grand Place)

"The museum provides elevators and benches on each floor—plan for a seated visit and request an elevator key at the cloakroom if needed.Audio guides are optional; if you prefer less standing, ask the staff for the quietest route and sit between rooms to break up the visit.Book tickets in advance for timed entry to avoid queues; the museum also has accessible restrooms and staff trained to assist visitors with reduced mobility."

Musée Magritte Museum — Calm, Accessible Collection

"The arcade is flat and covered—ideal if it’s drizzling; benches and café seating are available every few minutes for rests.Visit the lower-level galleries and the chocolatiers early to avoid crowds; there are ramps/elevators for step-free access to most shops.If you prefer minimal walking, sit at a café (e.g., in the arcade) and enjoy people-watching—ask staff for a quiet corner table."

Stroll Through Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert (covered arcade)

"Reserve a small corner table when booking for a cozier, more private experience.Share a starter and main so you both get to taste multiple local specialties without getting too full.Ask the waiter for a wine suggestion to pair with the house specialties — a small boutique bottle often elevates the meal."

Long, leisurely lunch — Les Brigittines
