Your meeting place, your business destination, your incentive for leisure trav el... Brussels offers opportunities for all and visit.brussels guides your activi ties.
The last couple of years have seen great disruption to the tourism and city devel opment model. We faced the new challenges head on and led the way towards the creation of a sustainable destination that embraces technological innovation and strives for the well-being and joy of visitors and residents.
Time to meet!
It’s time, once again, to meet face-toface and Brussels has all the assets for enhancing professional contacts and creating long-term business opportunities, as well as enjoying cultural and culinary experiences. The multinational character of its inhabitants and compa nies, the wide network of international associations, leisure spots and lively city districts make Brussels the perfect destination, whatever the season.
Brussels has quickly evolved into a genuine hybrid hub, with countless options for hybrid events. Numerous studios and venues, along with its multinational community of journalists and media professionals, offer a dynamic platform for all organisations.
Now a long-standing commitment, sustainability is our number one prior ity. Circular economy programmes and local cooperation within the hospitali ty sector are giving steady impetus to all sustainability initiatives.
By gathering partners to tackle ongo ing challenges and outline a vision for the future, Brussels has been proac tively proposing solutions. We proved to be a sold events partner, with all
venues and hotels working together to offer visitors a safe stay thanks to the Brussels Health Safety Label.
Brussels is the perfect setting, with state-of-the-art venues, an unparalleled richness of architecture mixed with cutting-edge services and endless oppor tunities for teambuilding, dining and leisure. Over 200 venues and 20,000 accommodation options offer you wide-ranging possibilities for any con cept or event you may wish to organise.
Brussels has all everything you need to develop a wonderful programme of ac tivities for any plans you may have!
Elisabeth Van Ingelgem Director Convention & Association Bureau, visit. brussels Patrick Bontinck CEO, visit.brusselsWhile obviously it has been a very difficult year for the whole sector of events, still we could welcome the opening of some new interesting venues in Brussels.
As for the venues, we’ll have to wait until 2023 for the grand opening of the Belgian Beer Palace, with its rooftop, large main room and, of course, museum about Belgium’s speciality. In Kanal Centre Pompidou, they’re busy renovating for the big opening in 2024. As of May this year, you do have the possibility to rent the smaller space Key One by Kanal. The works at La Cambre Abbey are ongoing.
In the EU district, Stam Europa opened its doors for smaller meetings with connections to the European institutions, and closed business club Cercle de Lorraine was spectacularly renovated into the social club The Merode, which can be rented by its members for exclusive events.
Silversquare, which provides coworking spaces as well as meeting rooms designed by a different artist for each of their six locations, will soon open their seventh location in Brussels' North district.
But the biggest news for Brussels’ MICE sector in 2022 is the opening of Cardo Brussels Hotel , Autograph Collection in Rogier with no less than 530 rooms, 13 meeting rooms, a rooftop bar, a Spanish food court, and a Japanese restaurant on the 30th floor.
The Hoxton will open their first hotel close to the Botanique in between Brussels’ North district and the city centre. It’ll boast a rooftop terrace, 198 rooms and co-working spaces. It’s good to see that Brussels’ North district is evolving and becoming more and more of a draw for international visitors!
A health safety label has been launched by the Brussels-Capital Region and visit.brussels in 2020. Created in partnership with the global certification company SOCOTEC, it aims at providing national and international visitors with reassurance around the quality and safety of Brussels’ tourist infrastructure.
The objectives for the label are to inform about the measures being taken by the venues and sites and ensure that the mandatory general rules are being applied within the tourism and other sectors.
After its launch in 2020, more than 150 hotels, venues and attractions in Brussels have obtained the Brussels Health Safety Label!
In order to obtain the label, all operators must respect generic measures and minimum prevention rules based on the protocol specific to each sector to ensure safe contacts and thus protect the health of the public.
The label is aimed at the tourism and cultural sectors. It applies to: Attractions & museums, Tourist accommodation, Guided tours, Restaurants and bars, Venues, Events & fairs.
In this brochure, the list of venues, hotels & restaurants indicates which one of them has the label. The list of the affiliated venues is also available here.
More info about the label & how to obtain it here.
The Penta Hotel: to obtain the label, the Penta Hotel has implemented a series of specific measures to make its guests' stay as pleasant as possible, with its "between us" concept. With floor markings, installation of hand sanitiser gel dispensers, adaptation of breakfast, provision of hooks to avoid touching door handles and lift buttons, they have done everything possible to make customers feel comfortable and reassured in their ("between us") bubble.
"We were immediately enthusiastic about getting the label. Customers who wish to continue travelling find it difficult to navigate the amount of information they receive on a daily basis. Can I still go to my destination? What security measures are in place? Which places are safe? Thanks to this label, guests no longer need to worry about finding a safe place to enjoy their stay with complete peace of mind. The label will show them the way," said Kristof Lemmens, Area General Manager.
Spa 30 (venue: congress hall) run by QED (event organiser specialising in European affairs): located in the heart of the European quarter, Spa 30 has quickly put in place a series of measures to reassure its Belgian and foreign clients. The concrete actions that have been implemented by the establishment include reducing the number of places in meeting rooms to ensure social distancing, taking temperatures at the entrance, plexiglass at the reception, regular cleaning and disinfection of the premises, provision of hand sanitiser gel and introduction of flow direction.
"Obtaining the label is really very important for us. We find it essential to show the public that measures have been put in place. The label allows us to certify that the measures we have taken are adequate and help to protect customers. This is an important sign to our clients. It is a tangible way of proving to them that it is entirely possible to enjoy a guided tour in complete safety," said Sacha Seggai and Dominika Figini Kasprzyk, President and employee respectively of Bruxelles Bavard asbl, with one voice.
"We have had to reinvent ourselves so that our customers can continue to meet with their contacts. In particular, we offer them semi-virtual/semi-face-toface meetings to limit the number of people present in meeting rooms. The entire QED team has been working to meet all the label's criteria. Obtaining the label is essential for us because it will enable us to reassure our Belgian and foreign clients and show them that it is still possible to organise meetings and conventions in the best conditions," said Alina Gervan, HR & Finance Manager.
Bruxelles Bavard: to meet the criteria for obtaining the label, Bruxelles Bavard asbl, an association of guides, used the award protocol established by visit.brussels, adapting it to its sector of activity. Before a visit, a list of rules is sent to visitors and guides to ensure everyone's safety. With audioguides to ensure
social distancing systematically cleaned after each visit, the provision of hand sanitiser gel, the wearing of masks and a ban on touching the monuments, everything is in place to allow visitors to discover Brussels differently and with complete peace of mind.
At visit.brussels we help you find the right location and partners to organise your hybrid event. We continuously adapt in Brussels to circumstances and deliver virtual solutions to the MICE sector during the times of pandemic. Virtual solutions are steadily evolving, giving new opportunities for those who mainly seek information, while we also take into account the needs of those who want to network when attending a conference in person.
The ongoing digital transformation is also spreading across Brussels meeting places. Numerous venues propose in-house or audio-visual partner options for your hybrid
event. We can start to consider Brussels as a real hybrid HUB with no less than 40 venues and hotels that have their own in-house studio and technical set-up for hybrid events, not to mention a lot more venues that have their fixed technical partner who can set up your hybrid event on demand..
On our venues listing you can find the complete list of venues offering the possibility of organising a hybrid event in Brussels plus in the services listing you find all the audio-visual companies that can help you set-up a hybrid event in Brussels.

In Brussels, your potential partners for your meeting and event are eco-label champions. A large number of accommodation providers, venues, caterers, restaurants, professional organisers and other partners, such as local transportation companies, stand builders and AV companies, subscribe to a sustainable (economic, social and environmental) approach and are officially accredited by official certifications and eco-labels (Green Key, Ecodynamic Organisation, EMAS, ISO 14001 and ISO 20121); making it very easy to find partners with sustainable policies in place to reduce water and energy consumption, and waste production. Trying to make sense of all the different eco labels and certifications is not always easy, so we have done it for you in the following pages.

Mobility and accessibility for your delegates is paramount. Our city is compact, which already helps. We help you choose the right event district for your venues and hotels; minimising transfers and maximising accessibility. Here, it’s easy to focus on proximity.
• We can develop a green mobility plan with alternatives to cars and taxis, with public transport and various soft mobility possibilities (walking, e-bikes and bikes, e-scooters and scooters…). A list of transport alternatives and practical apps is in the Practicalities section.
• Why not select “bike-friendly” accommodation, with facilities that cater for the needs of cyclists? More and more establishments offer a service for cycle visitors, creating a “bike-friendly” accommodation network in Brussels. For a list of bike-friendly accommodation, see the Hotels section.
3 Events that are accessible to all:
In Brussels, offering inclusive events is a major priority. We can help you make your event accessible to people with reduced mobility. We start by choosing accommodation, event venues and venues for social events accessible to all, with specifically fitted rooms to meet all needs.

Looking to go above and beyond? We can help you with that!
• Go a step further in your catering choices, with organic cuisine and Good Food label restaurants.
• Choose dedicated suppliers, and partners recognised and circular economy-recognised partners or solutions with cradle-to cradle models. Brussels is a leader.
• Propose recognised alternative accommodation, cost-effective and no less charming for your delegates: democratisation, globalisation, proximity. The city also offers a wide variety of recognised alternative accommodation, for anything from a single night to a full year, such as Bed&Business, home stays, studios or furnished apartments in private homes and home rentals.
• Encourage accommodation, venues and partners with a social staff policy.
• Participate in community initiatives, so they can achieve their potential for long-lasting social value: engage with social beneficiaries early in the process.

We spoke with Rachel Payne, the communication manager of the International Sport & Culture Association ahead of their Move Congress which will take place at Tour&Taxis later this year. >>> see interview on the next page >>>
our support
full-time is possible, and worthwhile!
The MOVE Congress 2022 by the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) will take place in Brussels on 17-19 November. What is the purpose of the congress?
We want to make the world a more physically active place! And the MOVE Congress is our flagship conference that gathers grassroots sport and physical activity stakeholders to discover new trends, to network, advocate and build new initiatives together. The MOVE Congress will leave our local and national partners in Brussels and Belgium with a powerful network, fresh ideas for implementation, and an event legacy that is focused on active, healthy lifestyles.
Why was Brussels chosen? What are its advantages over another destination?
Brussels is a phenomenal hub for the MOVE Congress. It offers political access to EU institutions, a unique culture, excellent service and a cosmopolitan feel. Not to mention great logistics.
How did the convention bureau of Brussels help you with the organisation?
The Brussels Convention Bureau/Visit Brussels is helping us with financial support, expertise and services that will help us optimise the MOVE Congress experience in 2022. ISCA and Visit Brussels are promoting MOVE Congress 2022 together internationally and locally to ensure the recruitment of attendees, partners and stakeholders, and enhance attendees’ experiences before and during the event.
How did the situation with corona effect the organisation of the Congress and how did you respond to it?
We have decided on a hybrid format to enable both offline and online engagement. The theme of the MOVE Congress 2022 is “Reconnect. Rebuild. Restart.” We believe the timing is perfect to address the challenges brought about by Covid-19 with a unique event to help community sport and physical activity providers build back better.
Did you plan already a leisure activity in Brussels after the meeting is over and you have some free time?
To wind down after the MOVE Congress, I’m looking forward to taking a long walk around the city and going on a “treasure hunt” to find some comic strip murals around the city. I think they’re fantastic. And along the way I would have to visit my favourite coffee place in Brussels, Corica, which even has coffee from Australia (where I’m also from)!
THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME AIMS AT BUILDING EXPERT NETWORKS, INCREASING THE VISIBILITY OF KEY CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE AND ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL EVENTS TO BRUSSELS.

Being close to the decision-making centre facilitates our work.

The European Quarter Area Management Association (eQuama) is proud to present you Stam Europa. Located in the heart of the European District in Brussels, Stam Europa is a public space bringing a new type of program in the area while curating conditions for dialogue between the inhabitants and the large institutions of the neighbour hood. The project defines a new temporary use of a former block unoccupied for 15 years. The vacancy is exploited to test a new pilot use of the building in shaking the monolithic program of the neighbourhood, providing a wider spectrum of scales and uses. In response to a general perception of the European institutions as hermetic, the space provides an open space for dialogue, attempting to re-establish a connection between the near yet detached institutions and citizens. The place may be rented by any (profit or non-profit) organizations that want to develop and enhance the democratic debate & dialogue. It may be booked for an hour, a half-day or even a whole day. The atrium is an ideal place for events (debates, (hybrid) conferences, dinners...) while the 2nd and the 3rd floors may be used for exhibition or art performance.

Cycle tourism is a steadily growing sector in Europe and responds to an actual demand and trend in the market . More and more establishments offer a service for cycle tourists and thus create a network of “bikefriendly” accommodation in Brussels. visit.brussels promotes accommodation with certain services and facilities that cater for the needs of cyclists and clients.
In collaboration with Pro Velo, visit.brussels carried out an accommodation questionnaire to find out whether whether Brussels' accommodation was suitable for cyclists and could satisfy customers who wanted to discover Brussels by bike. Several criteria were assessed, such as whether or not establishments:
• are located near to regional cycle routes (ICR), a Villo! station…
• have bicycle parking facilities or a secure bicycle room
• have a terminal for charging electric bicycles
• provide repair tools (pumps, screwdrivers, patches...)

The flourishing green facade of Hotel Indigo Brussels stands in lovely contrast to the sea of glass and steel office buildings that have sprouted up around the bustling Place Rogier. It’s hard to believe this area in the heart of the Belgian capital was once considered the countryside. Today, the nearby Botanical Garden of Brussels exists as a reminder of that pastoral era. Hotel Indigo pays tribute as well with 284 boutique rooms, each featuring one of three garden-inspired themes: floral, herbal, and tropical. While the Botanical Garden’s greenhouses now operate as cultural spaces rather than the cutting-edge botany labs of its past, the area’s link to science continues with the European Research Council located just next door. Hotel Indigo celebrates this cultural fusion of horticulture and urban life, from its decor to the unique, green dining experiences at SERRA. We use SERRA for most of our events, such as Afterworks with DJ Nikita, Terarrium Tribe workshops, Cocktail Masterclass, and Art & Joy sessions, but also for corporate events! The SERRA concept, style and personality don’t go unnoticed, and is one of the favourite locations in Brussels for impactful, unforgettable events!

The Magic Land Théâtre was born out of a collective dream in the 1970s. It now has its active, around fifty creations, several international tours and participation regular at most major Belgian cultural events. His multiple expériences artistic works carried out on so many fronts have allowed him to forge a style so particular, far re moved off the beaten track of classical theater. If we had to classify the «Magic land» in a category « popular theater «is undoubtedly the adjective which would suit best even if Patrick Chaboud its founder prefers to speak of a theater of ex changes, meetings, surprises, debates, emotions and forcing anger sometimes too. At the Magic land theater, the scenic barriers conventional have long since been abolished in order to build bridges between genders, heater, dance, music, circus, humor.

With its particularly rich historical and artistic heritage, Brussels continues to surprise and move visitors from all over the world.
Famed for its legendary Grand-Place (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998) and the no less famous Manneken-Pis, who is undeniably part and parcel of Brussels’ cultural heritage, the capital of Europe is also one of the cradles of Surrealism, of which René Magritte is a figurehead, and Art Nouveau.
By 1890, Horta, Hankar, Cauchie and Blerot were breaking boundaries to create a total and organic art, deploying its curves and arabesques in magnificent townhouses, furniture, decorative objects, and crockery. This movement, as creative as it was shortlived, was to evolve into the sleeker and more geometric Art Deco of which many listed examples adorn the streets of the city.

Royal greenhouses The Royal PalaceThe legacy of Art Nouveau (and to a lesser extent, Art Deco which developed in the 1920s) lives on in Brussels and flourishes with buildings in each of its neighbourhoods, particularly the well-to-do communes of Ixelles and Saint-Gilles. These houses – some 500 intact buildings including shops, cafés and private houses – can be found across the city. Belgium’s most prominent architect, Victor Horta, had caught on to the style just as it emerged and began to design brick-and-stone artworks of his own, which bore Art Nouveau's characteristics inside and out. The spiralling staircases resembled curving shells, the windows took their shapes from flowers and cosmic geometrics, the columns and walls seemed to dance to a harmony of colours and parabola.
In Brussels, the streets speak for themselves: it is a city where the creative genius of the fin-de-siècle bloomed, often understated, in the shadow of Europe’s other great metropolises. And yet, it is here that Art Nouveau remains inspired, unaffected, and immortal and shows its complex and exquisite beauty to the public.
Join us to commemorate the work of this extraordinary architect!
• Why not plan, during the BANAD festival in March or by private appointment, a guided tour of an exceptional Art Nouveau interior which is normally closed to the public

Brussels is fast becoming an international centre for modern and contemporary art. The cultural landscape is changing the face of the city. New museums and exhibitions are making the Belgian capital one of Europe’s top destinations.
The announcement of the opening of the brand new Kanal-Centre Pompidou art platform, built in the former Citroën warehouse - an imposing 38,000-square-metre ‘glass cathedral’ Modernist building - is going to play a major role in the presence and growth of contemporary art in Brussels.
In terms of creation, Brussels has many assets: the streets are dotted with countless galleries, collectors and art centres to please an ever-increasing international audience. Lots of international artists have made the Belgian capital their home. Not a day goes by without an event coming to stimulate its cultural scene: the opening of an exhibition, a fair or trade show, a conference or themed guided tour… Contemporary art is alive and evolving in all its forms. It’s even spilling out onto the streets and walls of the city. Numerous players contribute to this richness.

Brussels is known by many as a very green capital, with 28m² of natural space per inhabitant. Our urban landscape is also made up of historic parks, wonderful squares, wide tree-lined avenues, a forest and even farms!
But it is also the city where major sustainable meetings take place, where international organisations for renewable energies are established. Moreover, the city undertakes many concrete sustainable actions and is working towards having a circular economy.
This has been confirmed by Brussels' appearance in the Global Destinations Sustainability Index's ranking n°13 sustainable cities in the world, thanks to a focused approach to sustainability initiatives over the last few years (in November 2020).
Needless to say, there are many opportunities to experience nature, have outdoor adventures or experience innovative, sustainable campaigns individually or in a group. Sustainable features are everywhere in Brussels: on its roofs (such as the KBR - Royal Library’s urban allotment and the institutions’ beehives), in its Good Food restaurants, in its ecocertified accommodation and on Europe’s largest pedestrian area. This sustainable mindset enables objects to enjoy several lives, thanks to the composting workshops, “repair cafés” and vintage boutiques.
