Brussels and related destinations

Waffles aren't just breakfast here – they're an art form, best enjoyed while admiring La Grand Place's gilded guildhalls that seem almost too ornate to be real. The Manneken Pis statue proves even national monuments can have a sense of humour. Duck into the Musical Instruments Museum where vintage saxophones and strange medieval contraptions await behind an Art Nouveau façade. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts houses Flemish masterpieces that make art history textbooks come alive. Chocolate shops offer free samples with such casual generosity you'll wonder if they've miscalculated their profit margins. After dark, tiny pubs serve hundreds of beer varieties, each in its own specially shaped glass – a ritual bartenders take very seriously indeed.

With a bit of luck, prices could drop even further, making your visit even more accessible.

Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To find last-minute deals to Brussels, you may discover attractive options by visiting the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where discounted rates for hotels near your travel date can be found.
