Brussels stands as a vibrant testament to Belgium's rich history and its dynamic present. This city seamlessly blends medieval charm with avant-garde vibrancy. Stroll down cobblestone lanes leading to the magnificent Grand Place, then venture to the European Quarter, where sleek glass towers symbolize Belgium's role at the heart of the EU. From the aromatic waffle stands to the sprawling Parc du Cinquantenaire, Brussels is a feast for the senses, offering a kaleidoscope of experiences.

Many in their 20s see Brussels as a hub of European culture: from its grand architecture to the dynamic culinary scene that extends beyond waffles and chocolate. Young travelers often note that Brussels feels less frantic than nearby capitals and appreciate day-trip opportunities to Bruges or Ghent. At Voyista, we’ve tested the city’s diverse neighborhoods, singled out boutique hotels near the city center, and can help you weave in side excursions seamlessly. We know how to maximize your time, whether you’re in Brussels for politics, art, or just the gastronomic delights.
