Brussels on new years eve offers something for everyone, with family friendly entertainment and spectacular fireworks, coupled with some of the most iconic city centre architecture in the world, plus a huge range of top bars, hotels, nightclubs and restaurants offering NYE celebrations.

As well as the many new year parties there's always loads to do in Brussels over the festive season, from the impressive and hugely popular Christmas market to the city's many tourist attractions, chief among which are the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the splendid Brussels Town Hall and of course the Place Royale.

Atomium Fireworks

If you're coming to Brussels on new years eve then chances are you've been attracted by the promise of the spectacular fireworks display, and you won't be disappointed.

The fireworks are free of charge to attend and get underway on the stroke of midnight. Last year saw 50,000 people gather at Place de Palais to watch the amazing pyrotechnics.

There's usually free public transport typically provided by the city until 5.30am on new years day to help the crowds get to and from the event.

Winter Wonders

If you're in Brussels over the festive season then we also highly recommend a trip to the city's famous Christmas market. The Winter Wonders event includes a sound and light show on the Grand Place, a ferris wheel, ice rink and traditional carousels as well as the numerous market stalls selling traditional Christmas fayre.

There are also Christmas markets in the city at Bourse and Place St Catherine.
