Frequently Asked Questions
The great kids-friendly classics: the Museum of Natural Sciences (huge Dinosaur Gallery), Train World (giant locos and staging), Mini-Europe (models + quizzes), the Atomium (panoramic view), the Comics Art Museum (comics, Smurfs, etc.), and the Parlamentarium (European Parliament visitor centre, free).
Yes. On the STIB network, children under 6 years old travel free of charge (accompanied) and strollers are allowed; think of lifts/PRM spaces in the metro/tram. 6–11 year olds can benefit from a free “J” season ticket (MOBIB required). By train (SNCB/NMBS), up to 4 children under 12 years of age travel free of charge with a paying adult (“Kids Free”, also valid to/from the airport at no extra charge).
The most direct: the SNCB train from “Brussels Airport – Zaventem” to Brussels-Central/Midi/Schuman; fast, luggage space and free Kids Free (no airport supplement for accompanied children).
Several museums are free every 1st Sunday of the month (e.g. Museum of the City of Brussels, Museum of Fashion & Lace, Sewer Museum). The Magritte Museum is free on the 1st Wednesday afternoon.
Bet on interiors: Train World, Museum of Natural Sciences, Autoworld (cars), Comics Art Museum, Parlamentarium (free and interactive), or a chocolate workshop at Choco-Story.
The Bois de la Cambre (playground, boat/pedal boat at Chalet Robinson), the Parc du Cinquantenaire (playgrounds and lawns), the Parc Tenbosch (small shaded arboretum), and the Parc Josaphat (wide open spaces and areas).
Generally yes, but some stations/trams are old. STIB lists accessibility (lifts, ramps) and reminds people to give priority to wheelchairs; strollers are allowed in PRM areas.
As in any capital, vigilance against pickpockets around train stations and tourist sites. In case of emergency: 112 (ambulance/fire brigade), 101 (police).
In winter, “Plaisirs d’Hiver/Winter Wonders” (giant Christmas market, ice rink, Ferris wheel). In the autumn, the Comic Strip Festival (workshops, exhibitions, free activities).
Brussels is officially bilingual (French/Dutch) and most tourist sites also offer English. The Parlamentarium, for example, operates in all 24 official EU languages.
