Where to stay for the weekend

Brussels

Budget to luxury in Brussels →

The EU's bilingual capital — the gilded guildhouses of the Grand-Place, Art Nouveau facades, and a national obsession with beer, waffles, chocolate and frites. It's also the natural base for the Belgian Grand Prix: the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the forested Ardennes lies about 90 minutes southeast, its Eau Rouge the most revered corner in Formula 1.
