What you’ll do

Don’t waste your layover in Brussels waiting at the airport - how dull. Instead, join one of our local Brussels hosts on a short but sweet (we’re not just talking about the chocolate you’ll inevitably eat) journey around Brussels.

Based on your travel itinerary, you can squeeze in some of Brussels' iconic sites like Sint-Michiels Kathedraal and iconic statues and monuments like the cheeky Mannekin Pis, or immerse yourself in a local neighborhood to get to know how the locals live.

Your time is precious, so spend it exactly how you want to! The hours will fly as you enjoy a local meal after strolling through the streets, skipping out on the tourist traps your host will help you avoid.

A Belgian airport waffle just won’t taste the same as one freshly made in a local cafe, will it? With plenty to see, taste, and do, your host can’t wait to show you around beautiful Brussels, no matter how flying your visit is.
