EN Sales Guide 2019 English version © M. Vanhulst
The visit.brussels online sales guide is accessible to all, but is first and foremost aimed at professionals from the travel industry, namely tour operators, travel agents, coach companies and group organisers.
It provides a complete overview of all activities and attractions in our city. These are then divided into specific themes which best represent Brussels, e.g. Art Nouveau, comics, heritage, etc. Each activity or attraction is explained in a file containing valuable information such as rates, contact details, languages in which the activity or attraction is provided, and much more. These files will allow travel professionals to take immediate action, should they wish to suggest an activity or attraction to their clients.
The entire purpose of the sales guide is to advertise the tremendous potential of Brussels and boost creativity with travel professionals in order for them to perk up, enhance or change their offer whilst making them and their clients eager to discover and get a better idea of the city. Equally important, the sales guide limits research and hence lightens the workload considerably.
In addition, the visit.brussels online sales guide obviously contains information on upcoming events, accommodation providers, coach parking details, visit.brussels contact information and other relevant data.
We trust this unique tool will benefit all travel professionals worldwide and encourage them to choose Brussels as their preferred destination. Rest assured that we will keep on improving and updating the offer in a city that is always on the move. Contents - Gaston Batistini ©visit.brussels

With its particularly rich historical and artistic heritage, Brussels continues to surprise and move visitors from all parts of the world. Famed for its legendary Grand-Place (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998) and the no less famous Manneken-Pis, who is undeniably part and parcel of Brussels’ cultural heritage, the capital of Europe is also one of the cradles of Surrealism, in which René Magritte is a figurehead, and Art Nouveau. By 1890, Horta, Hankar, Cauchie and Blerot were breaking boundaries to create a total and organic art, deploying its curves and arabesques in magnificent townhouses, furniture, decorative objects, and crockery. This movement, as creative as it was short- lived, was to evolve into the sleeker and more geometric Art Deco of which many listed examples adorn the streets of the city. With its rich heritage, Brussels also boasts a wealth of museums that criss-cross its territory and are real hubs of tourist attraction. And that is not to mention its delightful gastronomic heritage: crunchy chips, aromatic gueuze and kriek beers, fluffy waffles and mesmerising chocolate. In 2019, Brussels is marking the 450th anniversary of Brueghel’s death with a series of activities (www. brueghel.brussels).

The legacy of Art Nouveau (and to a lesser extent, Art Deco which developed in the 1920s) lives on in Brussels and flourishes with nearly every building around some of its quarters such as the well-to-do Ixelles and Saint-Gilles. These houses – some 500 intact buildings including shops, cafés and private houses – sprout up across the city. Belgium’s most prominent architect, Victor Horta, had caught on to the style just as it emerged and began to design brick-and-stone artworks of his own, which bore the Art Nouveau characteristics inside and out. The spiralling staircases resembled curving shells, the windows followed the roundness of flowers and cosmic geometrics, the columns and walls seemed to dance in a harmony of colours and parabola.
À Bruxelles, les rues parlent d'elles-mêmes. In Brussels, the streets speak for themselves: it is a city where the creative genius of the fin de siècle bloomed, often understated, in the shadow of Europe’s other great metropolises. And yet, it is here that Art Nouveau remains unaffected, inspired, immortal in showing its complex and exquisite beauty to the public.

Brussels is the bustling capital of 500 million Europeans and also the second most cosmopolitan city where no less than 184 different nationalities live and mingle. Within the European quarter, this multicultural microcosm is more palpable than anywhere else in Brussels. Its imposing architecture, its countless restaurants, cafés, bookshops, grocery shops – worthy representatives of all EU countries, as well as interesting visits to important EU institutions and an array of international first-rate museums attract more and more visitors each year. The cultural offer reflects its intrinsic and colourful diversity: from the Parlamentarium, which plunges the visitor into the arcana of the European Union, to the recently opened and unique House of European History, created at the initiative of the European Parliament, from the iguanodons of the Natural Science Museum to the classic old-timer cars of Autoworld.

Fans of comic strips? You won’t be disappointed! No doubt about it, Brussels is the capital of the comic strip. As you wind your way along the streets and alleyways, comic strip is everywhere! And it’s no wonder since many authors from Brussels have contributed to its rapid growth in popularity worldwide. Several museums, galleries, markets, festivals and specialist stores are entirely dedicated to the comic strip. But one of the most amazing activities is undoubtedly the famous comic strip trail. Meet Tintin, Astérix, Blake & Mortimer, Bob & Bobette (Spike & Suzy) or Lucky Luke as you wander down a street, around a museum or simply past a café. As you come across forty or so monumental frescoes you’ll get to know these legendary characters and their talented authors. The only walk of its kind!

Brussels is a natural region. The entire population of the very green capital can enjoy 28m² of nature there, including historic parks, wonderful squares, wide tree-lined avenues, a forest and even farms! There are so many opportunities to experience nature, and for the city’s residents and visitors to have outdoor adventures. Sustainable features are everywhere in Brussels: on its roofs (such as the royal library’s urban allotment and the institutions’ beehives), in its Good Food restaurants, in its eco- certified accommodation and on Europe’s biggest pedestrian area. This sustainable mindset enables objects to enjoy several lives, thanks to the composting workshops, “repair cafés” and vintage boutiques.

You’re going to love evenings and nights in Brussels! In just a few steps, you can go from setting to another. Sometimes it’s an exotic, trendy or lounge setting, sometimes it’s a swanky setting for music lovers or foodies. You can also enjoy Brussels’ characteristic diversity into the night, with techno, electro, house, rap, hip hop and funk nights, as well as R&B, ragga, dancehall and oldies music. On top of this, there is also jazz. Jazz has always been part of Brussels’ DNA. Let’s remind ourselves how personalities like Adolph Sax, Toots Thielemans and Django Reinhardt have shaped the history of jazz. Today it is still a vivid place for jazz, as evidenced by its daily live concerts in bars, clubs and bigger venues. With its jazz concerts, rooftop parties, gay-friendly parties, club parties, festival-closing parties or jams until the small hours, Brussels is brimming with wonderful events in an electric and friendly atmosphere, which is characteristic of Brussels. The cherry on the cake is that prices are very reasonable (€10 on average) and night buses take you home if you don’t fancy staying any longer. ©SOUNDS © JL Goffinet ©SOUNDS © Archiduc © Lieve Boussauw © Lieve © Archiduc

In terms of creation, Brussels has many assets: the streets are marked by countless galleries, collectors and art centres to please an ever-increasing international audience. Not a day goes by without an event coming to stimulate its cultural life: the opening of an exhibition, a fair or trade show, a conference or guided tour… Contemporary art is alive and evolving in all its forms. It’s even spilling out onto the streets and walls of the city. Numerous players contribute to the richness of its arts scene: the WIELS, BOZAR, the MIMA, the Centrale For Contemporary Art, the Fondation Boghossian and the Vanhaerents Collection. In short, Brussels is as eager as ever to share its passion for art with you!

Street art, tattoo parlours, skate & roller parks, record stores, streetwear shops… Now more than ever, urban culture is a subject that has grabbed the imagination of young people (and those who are young at heart) all over the world. Not surprisingly, Brussels follows the trend. Street artists represent the voice of a constantly evolving capital city. They exhibit their work in public spaces, in plain view of all those with a keen eye who can spot it. Whether commissioned or spontaneous, monumental, controversial or more discreet, the artworks cover building walls, benches, lamp posts, shop fronts and facades, using the city itself as an exhibition space. And there is more: break dance battles, rap & slam contests, Belgian hip-hop scene, beatbox workshops… Urban culture is alive and kicking, and due to get livelier in Brussels. And one more thing: make sure to stop by the Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art presenting the most significant art of its time. ©steve-powers-view, Visual Blues Visual ©steve-powers-view, Discover...

Our expert’s tip!
The Brusselicious label was established in 2017 to throw the spotlight on all of Brussels’s restaurants serving quality Belgian cuisine. It also singles out the best chip shops. This label is awarded to restaurateurs by a jury of independent journalists. You can therefore trust it. A list of restaurants with this label is available on our website, in most hotels in the capital and in our information offices.

As soon as it opened at the end of the 19th century, the luxurious Old England department store earned an excellent reputation for its highly distinctive building. The entrance to the building is a jewel of the Art Nouveau style.
Although architect Paul Saintenoy did not design many Art Nouveau buildings, here he created a building that is characteristic of the style with the decorative elements attesting to their constructional role.
Children will discover all kinds of instruments and will maybe have the chance to play them in a workshop.

Many coaches park in popular tourist areas such as the Grand-Place, the European district, Heysel Stadium and more. This creates a real problem in terms of space in the districts affected and in terms of routes between them. The Regional Development Plan (PRD) includes parking facilities for short-stay and long-stay parking, with spaces reserved for coaches. Parking areas There are three types of parking areas: short-stay, medium-stay and long-stay. • short-stay: up to 30 minutes • medium-stay: up to 5 hours • long-stay: more than 5 hours Therefore, coaches may park for up to 30 minutes in the short-stay parking areas. Tourists can therefore be dropped off and/ or picked up quickly there. Coaches may park for up to 5 hours in the medium-stay parking areas. These areas are perfect for coaches to wait while tourists visit a site or an attraction, or go to an event. Coaches may park for more than 5 hours in the long-stay parking areas. They may not park there overnight.
