Things to do in Brussels

Get cultured at Bozar

The city’s flagship cultural centre, Bozar, not only boasts fantastic art exhibitions but
also puts on more than 200 concerts a year, ranging from symphonies and chamber
performances to jazz and electronic music. If you can’t attend an event during your
Brussels holiday, check out the on-site museum, designed by famed Art Nouveau master
Victor Horta.

Explore Art Nouveau in all its glory

When it comes to what to see in Brussels, Art Nouveau architecture is a must. In the
1890s, Belgians Paul Hankar and Victor Horta pioneered the organic, intricate style –
and you’ll see stunning examples all over the city. For a deeper dive, swing by Horta
Museum, located in the architect’s former house and workshop in Saint-Gilles. Then
check out two UNESCO-listed Art Nouveau buildings – the Tassel House and the Solvay
House – just down the road.

Taste the best Belgian chocolate

There’s chocolate, and then there’s Belgian chocolate. Find your favourite purveyor on a
guided tasting adventure, during which you’ll get to try creations from favourites like
Neuhaus, Corné and Marcolini. To learn more about the chocolate-making process, visit
the Belgian Chocolate Village – a top Brussels attraction and immersive museum in the
Koekelberg district – or sign up for a hands-on workshop.
