brussels’ sales guide 2018
©visit.brussels - Gaston Batistini
Introduction
Content Tab
The visit.brussels online sales guide is accessible to all but is first and foremost directed to
professionals of the travel industry, namely tour operators, travel agents, coach companies,
and group organisers.
It provides a complete overview of all activities and attractions in our city. These are then
divided into specific themes which best represent Brussels, e.g. Art Nouveau, comics,
heritage, etc. Each activity or attraction is explained in a file containing valuable information
such as rates, contact details, languages in which the activity or attraction is provided,
and much more. These files will allow travel professionals to take immediate action, should
they wish to suggest an activity or attraction to their clients.
The entire purpose of the sales guide is to advertise the tremendous potential of Brussels
and boost creativity with travel professionals in order for them to perk up, enhance or
change their offer whilst making them and their clients eager to discover and get a better
idea of the city. Equally important, the sales guide limits research and hence lightens the
workload considerably.
In addition, the visit.brussels online sales guide obviously contains information on upcoming
events, accommodation providers, coach parking details, visit.brussels contact information
and other relevant data.
We trust this unique tool will benefit all travel professionals worldwide and encourage
them to choose Brussels as their preferred destination. Rest assured that we will keep on
improving and updating the offer in a city that is always on the move.

heritage
With its particularly rich historical and artistic heritage, Brussels continues to surprise and
move visitors from all parts of the world. Famed for its legendary Grand-Place (listed as
UNESCO World Heritage Site together with its adjoining streets) and the no less famous
Manneken-Pis who is undeniably part and parcel of Brussels’ cultural heritage, the capital
of Europe is also one of the cradles of Surrealism, in which René Magritte is a figurehead,
and Art Nouveau. By 1890, Horta, Hankar, Cauchie and Blerot were breaking boundaries
to create a total and organic art, deploying its curves and arabesques in magnificent
townhouses, furniture, decorative objects, and crockery. This movement, as creative as
it was short-lived, was to evolve into the sleeker and more geometric Art Deco of which
many listed examples adorn the streets of the city. With its rich heritage, Brussels also
boasts a wealth of museums that criss-cross its territory and are real hubs of tourist
attraction. And that is not to mention its delightful gastronomic heritage: crunchy chips,
aromatic gueuze and kriek beers, fluffy waffles and mesmerising chocolate.

art nouveau
& art deco
The legacy of Art Nouveau (and to a lesser extent, Art Deco which developed in the
1920s) lives on in Brussels and flourishes with nearly every building around some of its
quarters such as the well-to-do Ixelles and Saint-Gilles. These houses – some 500 intact
buildings including shops, cafés and private houses – sprout up across the city. Belgium’s
most prominent architect, Victor Horta, had caught on to the style just as it emerged
and began to design brick-and-stone artworks of his own, which bore the Art Nouveau
characteristics inside and out. The spiralling staircases resembled curving shells, the
windows followed the roundness of flowers and cosmic geometrics, the columns and
walls seemed to dance in a harmony of colours and parabola.
In Brussels, the streets speak for themselves: it is a city where the creative genius of the fin
de siècle bloomed, often understated, in the shadow of Europe’s other great metropolises.
And yet, it is here that Art Nouveau remains unaffected, inspired, immortal in showing its
complex and exquisite beauty to the public.

europe
Brussels is the bustling capital of 500 million Europeans and also the second most
cosmopolitan city where no less than 184 different nationalities live and mingle. Within
the European quarter, this multicultural microcosm is more palpable than anywhere else in
Brussels. Its imposing architecture, its countless restaurants, cafés, bookshops, grocery
shops – worthy representatives of all EU countries, as well as interesting visits to important
EU institutions and an array of international first-rate museums attract more and more
visitors each year. The cultural offer reflects its intrinsic and colourful diversity: from the
Parlamentarium, which plunges the visitor into the arcana of the European Union, to the
recently opened and unique House of European History, created at the initiative of the
European Parliament, from the iguanodons of the Natural Science Museum to the classic
old-timer cars of Autoworld. Europe is your oyster!

comic strip
Fans of comic strips? You won’t be disappointed! No doubt about it, Brussels is the capital
of the comic strip. As you wind your way along the streets and alleyways, comic strip is
everywhere! And it’s no wonder since many authors from Brussels have contributed to its
rapid growth in popularity worldwide. Several museums, galleries, markets, festivals and
specialist stores are entirely dedicated to the comic strip. But one of the most amazing
activities is undoubtedly the famous comic strip trail. Meet Tintin, Astérix, Blake &
Mortimer, Bob & Bobette (Spike & Suzy) or Lucky Luke as you wander down a street,
around a museum or simply past a café. As you come across forty or so monumental
frescoes you’ll get to know these legendary characters and their talented authors. The
only walk of its kind!

green
Brussels, a region as nature intended. A very green capital city, in fact the greenest capital
in Europe, that gives each of its inhabitants 28m² of nature: historic parks, pleasant little
public gardens, broad tree-lined avenues, a wood, a forest and even farms and vegetable
gardens! The further away from the centre, the more spectacular the green open spaces
become: the Cinquantenaire Park and museums or Woluwe Park and its 71 acres of English
style grounds. At the end of Avenue Louise, the Bois de la Cambre takes you seamlessly
from the city to the countryside. So many opportunities for city dwellers and visitors to
Brussels to stay in touch with nature and enjoy a break in the fresh air. Accompanied by
its ‘greeters’, discover Brussels on foot or by bike and you’ll encounter almost nothing
but trees! Sustainable features are everywhere in Brussels: on its roofs - from the royal
library’s urban allotment to the EU institutions’ beehives - and in its slow food restaurants,
eco-certified accommodation and Europe’s biggest pedestrian area. Also, objects are given
a new lease of life at the composting workshops, repair cafés and the vintage boutiques.

Jazz has always been part of Brussels’ DNA. Let remind ourselves how personalities like
Adolph Sax, Toots Thielemans and Django Reinhardt have shaped the history of jazz.
Today it is still a vivid place for jazz, as evidenced by its daily live concerts in bars, clubs
and bigger venues. Two music conservatories including a jazz department attract students
from all over the world. Brussels is not only home to musicians with an international
reputation, the city is also brimming with young talent. Furthermore, Brussels plays host
to several jazz festivals, indoors and outdoors, attracting an increasing audience of both
jazz buffs and neophytes. The most representative is undoubtedly the Brussels Jazz
Weekend (former Brussels Jazz Marathon). With its 5 outdoor stages and over 80 indoor
locations, it is one of the world’s biggest free city festivals. Large concert halls such as
BOZAR, FLAGEY and AB don’t shy away from jazz, on the contrary: blues, jazz, soul,
funk, swing and beyond, covering the entire gamut of jazz styles. There’s something in
it for everyone!

contemporary
art
Located in the heart of the European continent, Brussels is fast becoming an international
centre for modern and contemporary art. The cultural landscape is changing the face of
the city. New museums and exhibitions are making the Belgian capital one of Europe’s top
destinations, including opening a Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in collaboration
with the Centre Pompidou (Paris), in an Art Deco former Citroën building, (opening date
to be confirmed) alongside the canal. In terms of creation, Brussels’ assets are legion:
the streets are marked by countless galleries, collectors and art centres to please an
ever-increasing international audience. Not a day goes by without an event coming to
stimulate its cultural life: opening of an exhibition, fair or trade show, conference or guided
tour… Contemporary art is alive and evolving in all its forms. It’s even spilling out onto
the streets and walls of the city. Numerous players contribute to the richness of its arts
scene: the WIELS, BOZAR, the MIMA, the Centrale For Contemporary Art, Villa Empain
and the Vanhaerents Collection. In short, Brussels is as eager as ever to share its passion
for art with you!
