Brussels Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

Brussels is the bustling capital of Belgium and has so much more to offer than just beer, waffles and chips. Unlike its neighbouring cities of Bruges and Ghent, Brussels is just as much a city of locals as it is a fantastic tourist destination. Here you can have a glance into the everyday lives of those that call Brussels home. After arriving at Brussels International Airport you will begin to understand what makes this lovely European capital so special.

Brussels embraces the best of classical European culture. It features some great museums like the Musée Oldmasters Museum, with masterpieces from Rogier van der Weyden and Jusepe de Ribera. The city also has, modern art galleries and some of the best restaurants on the continent. First-time visitors will be delighted by the quirky charms Brussels has to offer, such as the Atomium and the Comic Strip Museum, perfect for the kid at heart. The Atomium is undoubtedly Brussels’ most popular attraction. Constructed for the 1958 World Exhibition, the Atomium is a model of an elementary iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times, a truly unique work or architecture. Visitors can enjoy the permanent exhibit inside that details the history as well as changing temporary exhibits that highlight science and design. Located at the base of the Atomium is Mini Europe, the only place where you can visit all of Europe’s iconic attractions, such as London’s Big Ben and the Roman Coliseum, in only a few short hours. It’s the perfect way to pass an afternoon with the kids!

To really experience the best of Brussels there are two landmarks that you cannot miss. The first is the medieval Grand Palace, a beautiful cobblestone square lined with elegant row houses and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon people watching and enjoying the refined café culture within one of the busy cafés or bars. During the warmer months there is a daily flower market often accompanied by an evening concert and light show. While strolling around the Grand Palace you can’t miss the Gothic Hôtel de Ville, the second iconic piece of architectural achievement. Built in 1402 this attractive building has many finely arched windows, towers and ornate sculptures. If you haven’t had your fill of history and architecture then two exceptional churches you will enjoy visiting are the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and Saint-Michel Cathedral. The first is the fifth largest church in the world and the second is an impressive example of Gothic engineering.  

Located deep in the Sonian forest and not far from Brussels, is the Dolce La Hulpe Brussels. This striking, modern resort the perfect getaway when you need some peace and tranquillity.
