brussels city breaks
a magnet for visitors of many nationalities
Charming and ornate Brussels makes a fantastic short break or weekend break destination, and you’ll have the chance to see all its famous landmarks and more when you book with The Co-operative Travel.
The Belgian capital’s unique location at the crossroads of northern Europe makes it a magnet for visitors of many nationalities. They visit for many reasons, including the architecture, culture, food and drink, but what they all have in common is that they leave well satisfied.
One of Brussels’ true beauties is that many of the landmarks, including the majestic Grand Place, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, and famous Mannekin Pis statue are all right on hand to be seen on foot. Much less highbrow, but no less essential on many visitors’ agendas, will be the Museum of Chocolate, again right in the heart of the city.
Eating out in Brussels is almost a city institution, and visitors are only too keen to see what all the fuss is about. But be warned: when the local delights include such rich temptations as waffles and gloriously self-indulgent pastries – and when a carton of French fries laden with mayonnaise is considered a light snack - you might need to do quite a bit of walking to shed those extra calories.

A visit to one of the many ‘brown’ bars selling all manner of exotic, individually-crafted native beers is also an unmissable treat on your Brussels city break, but be warned – the choice of drinks can be truly mind-boggling, and their strength can certainly come as a shock to many British drinkers!
Brussels also has a great night-time buzz, with a cluster of live music venues and discos having sprung up to cater for a young, party-hungry crowd.
There’s a wide choice of accommodation for your Brussels short break, ranging from humble bed-and-breakfasts to chic 5-star establishments with every conceivable modern comfort.
Brussels’ proximity to the UK has ensured that it is a firm favourite for a weekend or short-stay break. That, in turn means that there are plenty of options available to suit all tastes and budgets. So if you’re yearning to experience a Brussels city break for yourself, take your choice from those available from The Co-operative Travel!
