Everything you should know before you book
Brussels comes into its own in the evening, when the Grand-Place is floodlit and the bars of the old town fill with locals over Belgium's UNESCO-listed beers. This list ranks the best after-dark experiences, from guided beer tastings to a high-energy pub crawl.
Beer is the signature Brussels night. A guided tasting or beer-and-food pairing explains the lambics, trappists, and gueuze in a relaxed setting, while the Brussels pub crawl is the social, budget way to hop between the best bars with a group. For a calmer evening, the Tootbus sunset tour shows off the lit-up Grand-Place, palace, and the Atomium from a comfortable seat.
