Brussels, Belgium travel guide

Over 100,000 passengers worldwide voted Brussels Airport The Best Airport in Europe in 2005.  According to the airport operator, its main characteristics are: European, Welcoming and Efficient.  Brussels Airport is an international airport just 11 km northeast of Brussels, Belgium.  You can take a car hire from Brussels Airport to the city via the A201, which is directly connected to the R0 highway.  From there the main highways of Belgium can be taken.

Brussels sits at the crossroads of cultures with the Germanic populations in the North and the Romance culture in the South.  It plays an important role in Europe as the archetypal "melting pot", but undoubtedly Brussels maintains its own unique character.  It has two official languages: French (80%) and Dutch (20%).  Although Brussels was historically a Dutch-speaking area it has become more and more French-speaking since the 10th century.  

Brush up on your french and take a Brussels Airport Car hire out and around this interesting, and varied town.

Tourist attractions at Brussels, Belgium

Grand Place-Grote Markt

Grand Place-Grote Markt

While it is worthwhile during the day, you won't want to miss the sight of the Grand Place-Grote Markt lit at night.  Surrounded by the city tower and a range of beautiful 300 year old buildings, this can be a great place to start your tour of the city. 

Some evenings a music and light show is provided with the buildings serving as a canvas - simply brilliant!

Manneken Pis

Manneken Pis

After you visit the Grand Place-Grote Markt take the short walk over to the small bronze statue thought to represent the "irreverent spirit" of Brussels.  It speaks volumes to the whimsical nature of this culture.

Cinema Nova

Cinema Nova

Catch the shows you won't find anywhere else.  This indiendent-to-the-bone cinema showcases the more esoteric side of cinema.  In for a Korean Ultraman rip-off, a Pakistani documentary or a bleak Chilean cinema vérité flick?  Make it dinner and a movie and get around town for the evening in your Brussels, Belgium car hire.

Recommended daytrips from Brussels, Belgium

Cantillon Brewery

Cantillon Brewery

Visit the last traditional gueze/lambic brewery in Brussels.  Cantillon Brewery still uses natural yeast fermentation, and it is still a functioning brewery.  Take the tour, which includes tow small glasses of lambic and gueuze.  Only 100% bio (organic) and natural fruits are used, making this beer distinctly sour, and not at all sweet.

Chocolate

Passion Chocolat

Brussels is chock full of chocolates, and if you are a true choco-holic you will want to take time, at least a daytrip, to tour the city and find your favorite.  In Place du Grand Sablon-Grote Zavel Plein you can find three shops selling some of the best chocolate in the world: Neuhaus, Pierre Marcolini and Wittamer.  Enjoy the different specialties of each store.  

Don't forget to swing by Passion Chocolat on 20 Rue Vanderlinden in your car hire Brussels, Belgium.  Its a bit out of the way but its artisan chocolate is worth the drive, and there are ample free samples at the entrance.

Waterloo

Waterloo

Take a cheap car rental Brussels Belgium and leave the city entirely.  About 15 km South of Brussels you can visit where Wellington and Bluecher faced Napoleon for an ultimate battle that changed the face of Europe forever.
