People Also Ask
Q:Are guided tours of Brussels worth it?
A:

Yes, Brussels tours open doors that may be closed to you as an individual traveler, granting access to chocolate workshops, hidden breweries, and the city’s nightlife. They can also help you explore neighboring destinations, such as Ghent or Bruges, if you’re on a limited schedule and don’t want to worry about logistics.

Q:How much do Brussels tours cost?
A:

Brussels tours are surprisingly affordable, with tours to nearby cities costing as little as US$50 and nightlife or food crawls as little as US$40. Of course, there are more luxurious and private options as well, which may cost more.

Q:What activities are included on Brussels tours?
A:

Brussels is a perfect jumping-off point for exploring everything that makes Belgium famous. Take a food tour of a chocolate factory or a brewery, go on a day trip to the magical cities of Bruges and Ghent, or experience the weight of history at Flanders Fields, a major WWI battle site.

Q:Is Brussels an expensive city?
A:

Yes, Brussels is expensive compared to many cities in the world, consistently ranked among those with the highest cost of living. But there are still ways to cut down the cost of your trip, from sampling street food to taking Brussels tours that include meals for as little as US$40 per person.

Q:How many days do you need to see Brussels?
A:

Two to three days should be enough for the city’s major sites and for indulging in the chocolate and beer that make it a culinary destination. However, if you intend to use Brussels as a home base to also explore the cities of Ghent and Bruges or nearby WWI battle sites, consider adding on a couple more days.
