Things to do in Brussels today and this weekend

Start on the Grand-Place, walk through the Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries and past Manneken Pis. After lunch, see the Magritte Museum on Place Royale or the Comic Art Museum. In the evening there is a concert at Bozar or the AB, or drinks around Saint-Géry. With an extra hour, take metro line 6 to the Atomium.

Brussels' Christmas market, Winter Wonders, runs from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 on the Grand-Place, the Bourse, Sainte-Catherine, the Fish Market, Place de la Monnaie and Place de Brouckère. It is open daily from 12:00 to 22:00, until 18:00 on 24 and 31 December, and entry is free.

Go indoors: the Magritte Museum and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, the Comic Art Museum, the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural Sciences or the Atomium. The Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries keep you dry between the shops and cafés. The rainy-day page lists what is indoors, with what is on there next.

The dinosaur hall at the Museum of Natural Sciences, the Atomium, the Comic Art Museum with Tintin and the Smurfs, and Manneken Pis in one of his costumes. From 27 November to 3 January, Winter Wonders adds an ice rink and a Ferris wheel in the centre.

In the centre, the bars around Saint-Géry and Sainte-Catherine and the LGBTQ+ bars on Rue du Marché au Charbon. On Thursdays expats meet at Place du Luxembourg (Plux). For clubbing, Fuse in the Marolles has played techno since 1994, on Friday and Saturday nights.

The flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle in the Marolles runs every day, until 15:00 at weekends. Walk through the Cinquantenaire, visit a museum, or catch an afternoon concert at Bozar or Flagey.

The weekend page lists the best events of the coming days across Brussels, from concerts at the AB, Bozar and Forest National to shows at La Monnaie. Until 3 January 2027 Winter Wonders fills the centre every day.
