Brussels
Underrated food, excellent beer, and a rail hub for everywhere.
Travellers come here for food, culture, nightlife and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for July, August and June. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
787 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 453 restaurants, 149 cafés and 184 bars and pubs. 97% carry no chain or brand operator.

- italian 55
- pizza 33
- japanese 16
- indian 14
- french 13
- lebanese 12
82 record vegetarian options and 42 record vegan ones.

Getting there
Airports serving Brussels: BRU and CRL. Brussels is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
