BX is pretty exceptional in more ways than one. Still need convincing? Here’s a selection of unique Brussels experiences you won’t find anywhere else — and definitely not all in the same day!
1. Travel back in time
Have you ever marveled at how easy it is to jump from the Middle Ages to modern times with just a few pedal strokes or metro stops? We sure have!
Suggested tour with Floya:
- Discover the Beguinage of Anderlecht
- Stroll through the Karreveld Castle park
- Take the metro to the iconic Atomium
- Admire the decor at Pannenhuis station along the way
- Head over to the Coudenberg Palace
- Visit the Museum of Musical Instruments
- End the day with a cocktail at the Pharmacie Anglaise
2. Escape on the walls
Did you know Brussels is the comic book capital? No wonder street art is everywhere in the city! You’ll spot murals and playful tributes to the 9th art — especially around the historic city center.
Don’t miss out on the different Street Art itineraries to discover Brussels’ murals from a fresh perspective.
Good to know: a kick scooter is perfect for zipping between murals, but to really soak it all in, we recommend exploring each neighbourhood on foot.
3. Switch languages by switching transport
If there’s one thing that sets BX apart, it’s its multicultural vibe. Walk just a few hundred meters, and you’ll hear a mix of languages all around you.
Suddenly, language immersion becomes child’s play. Want to practice your Dutch? Just hop on a De Lijn bus and start an impromptu conversation table. Never thought of that before? Graag gedaan!
4. Be in 3 places at once
Nothing sums up Brussels better than standing on the Grote Markt, the Place de Belgique, or at the Carrefour de l’Europe to remind you that you are in three places at once!
Brussels is the heart of the Region, Belgium, and the European Union. This unique combo brings together an incredible mix of cultures, languages… and, of course, plenty of transport options!
A surreal little wink — just how we like it.
5. Pay for all your transport in 1 app
Getting around BX can feel a bit complex: different operators, separate ticket sales outlets, ever-changing traffic rules…
Luckily, Floya makes it all so much easier. It brings together all your mobility options in one place, and you can even pay for most of your rides directly in the app!
