When is the Cheapest Time to Fly to Brussels?

Plan to visit the city during the shoulder seasons months of February, March, April, September and October if you want to find cheap flights to Brussels. Keep in mind that the biennial Flower Carpet is taking place in August 2018, so Brussels flights will increase around this period. Visiting the city for Christmas is more popular than ever, and Brussels flight prices rise in November and December consequently.

When is the Best Time to Book your Flight to Brussels?

For visits in the summer months and Christmas or trips that coincide with large events, such as the Flower Carpet, book at least three months in advance to find cheap flights to Brussels. Outside of these times, you are more likely to find great deals on last-minute flights to Brussels, but it is always best to be flexible with your travel dates in order to get cheap flights to Brussels.

Why Visit Brussels?

There’s more to Belgium’s capital than meets the eye. The Grand Palace at Brussels’s medieval core is transformed and decorated every two years. Its Christmas markets are some of the best in Europe, and there are entire museums dedicated to chocolate, TinTin and surrealist Magritte. Don’t forget to get up close and personal with its most famous statue, the tiny Manneken Pis, which shows a boy urinating.
The administrative capital of the EU has a hip café and bar scene as you’d expect – multi-cultural right down to the bone. But none of that has taken away from its historical legacy that can be felt in the grandeur of its bureaucratically occupied buildings. Enjoy weekends with some strong Belgian beer and the national dish of moules-frites (mussels and chips).

Don't Forget Before you Fly

British citizens do not need a visa to travel to Belgium. Your passport only needs to be valid for the length of your stay. Belgium uses the euro as its currency. ATMs and currency exchange offices are widely available and accept most international credit cards.
