Activities in Brussels

Brussels is the world capital of Art Nouveau, and a self-guided walking trail through Saint-Gilles and Ixelles reveals dozens of remarkable facades by Victor Horta, Paul Hankar, and their contemporaries — four of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

King Baudouin Stadium (formerly Heysel Stadium) is Belgium's national sports venue, seating 50,093. It hosts Belgian Red Devils football matches, the annual Memorial Van Damme athletics meeting, and major concerts.

The Comic Strip Route (Parcours BD) is a walking trail linking over 50 wall murals painted on building facades across central Brussels, each depicting a famous Belgian comic-strip character — from Tintin and Lucky Luke to lesser-known indie creations.
