Holiday homes and rentals in Brussels

A historic and architectural gem

Brussels, the self-titled ‘Capital of Europe’, welcomes you with its rich history and marvellous architecture. There are a wide range of holiday homes all around the city. If you prefer to be in the centre of the action, then choose from one of the many options in the historic centre near the Grand Place. Alternatively, opt for the beautiful area on the edge of the centre around the magnificent Brussels Park, home of the Royal Theatre. If you are looking for more peace and quiet, there are numerous homes away from the city centre, such as in the leafy suburbs of Laeken.

Modern holiday homes all over the city

Although Brussels is an old city with many historic buildings, the majority of homes are located in modern high-spec buildings. You can find tiny studios for couples to large and spacious lofts for groups up to 8 people. Further out from the city you can find a range of spacious houses with lawns and even swimming pools, and public transport is great to get you into town. Whatever your preferences, Brussels can accommodate them.

The area and getting around

Architectural sights galore

Brussels’ main attractions are located in the centre with its eclectic architectural styles from gothic to the art nouveau and at the heart of the city the must-see Grand Place. Ixelles, located south of central Brussels, is the most affluent in the capital and boasts cobbled small streets and garden squares that are full of charm and history. For urban cool, working-class Marolles is becoming increasingly popular with the bohemian set.

Nature in the middle of a metropolis

To the east of the centre is Parc de Bruxelles, which makes for a lovely slice of nature and a breath of fresh air in an otherwise bustling metropolis. You can take a peaceful walk here, go for a jog, or rent a bike and cycle along one of the many paths which are lined with fountains and statues. On the north side of the park there is Brussels Theatre, built in 1782, which stages high-budget performances to this day.

Travellers and activities

Brussels for couples

Brussels makes for a great city for an amorous getaway. From strolling the elegant city streets around the Grand Place to indulging yourselves in the internationally renowned best-in-the-world chocolate, or visiting the city’s museums dedicated to lovers: the Heart Museum, and the Museum of Erotics and Mythology, there is no escaping the romance of this city. You can even learn to make chocolate truffles at one of the famous chocolatiers, a lovely treat to top off your romantic break.

Brussels for beer lovers

As lovers of this fine drink knows, Belgium produces some of the world’s best beer. There are over 150 breweries in Belgium, many of which are in Brussels and which offer tours and tastings (with Cantillon Brewery being a local’s favourite). The choice of beers in regular pubs in Belgium is also impressive. Delirium Cafe is rated as the number one destination, with no less than 2,000 beers to choose from!

Brussels International Airport is the largest sales outlet for chocolate in the world!
