Two-day Brussels city break from Swiss gateways by rail

Illustration of Brussels

Railtour Suisse offers a two-day Brussels city break departing from Zurich, Basel, or Geneva. The package includes second-class rail travel and one night in the three-star Novotel Brussels City Centre. Brussels, capital of Belgium and home to European institutions, draws visitors for its Grand Place (a medieval plaza lined with ornate merchant houses), the Atomium (a 102-metre-tall structure), and Art Nouveau architecture throughout the city. The package highlights Belgian beer culture, with Lambiek beer featured and optional visits to the Cantillon Brewery. You can also explore the Royal Palace, Mont des Arts, and the comic-book heritage of Tintin and Snowy. The city's historic streets and neighbourhoods like Les Marolles (known for flea markets and vintage shops) offer scope for wandering. Museums including the Magritte Museum and Musical Instrument Museum are available as paid add-ons.
