❓ Brussels Travel FAQ
Is Brussels good for a weekend break?+
Excellent — the Grand Place area is compact, Bruges is just 1 hour by train, Ghent is 30 minutes. Very well connected by Eurostar from London.
Is Belgian beer worth trying?+
Absolutely — Belgium has 1,500+ beer varieties. Try Trappist ales (Chimay, Rochefort), lambics, and gueuzes at any proper Belgian café.
What are Belgian waffles really like?+
Brussels waffles are rectangular and light; Liège waffles are round, denser, and caramelized. Both are far superior to what is sold as "Belgian waffles" elsewhere.
Is Brussels expensive?+
Brussels is more affordable than Paris or Amsterdam. Restaurant prices are reasonable, and many world-class museums are free.
What language do people speak in Brussels?+
Brussels is officially bilingual (French and Dutch/Flemish). Most locals also speak excellent English. French tends to dominate in the city center.
