Local knowledge for Brussels

Where to stay

Saint-Gilles and the area around Place Flagey in Ixelles are where most budget travelers land. Both are a 20-minute walk from Grand-Place or a few stops on tram line 81, with bars and grocery stores priced for residents rather than visitors.

Getting around

  • Pick up a STIB/MIVB 24-hour pass (a few euros) at any metro ticket machine on arrival. It covers metro, tram, and bus across the city and pays for itself after three rides.
  • The Marché du Midi runs every Sunday morning around Brussels-Midi station until about noon. It is one of the largest street markets in the country and a cheap way to stock up on fresh bread, produce, and spices before the week starts.
  • The Royal Museums of Fine Arts and the Musical Instruments Museum are free on the first Sunday of each month. If you can time your arrival for a Sunday, it cuts your sightseeing costs considerably.

When to go

January and February are the slowest months for hostels and the easiest to find a cheap bed. July and August fill up fast, especially around the Ommegang festival at Grand-Place in early July, so book at least two weeks out if you are traveling then.
