Welcome to the new version of the official website of the Belgian Tourist Office-Brussels and Wallonia for the UK and Ireland!

In this new look website you will find even more content, tips and news on the mainly French-speaking areas of Brussels and Wallonia in the South of Belgium, with plenty of new features including profiles and interviews of Belgian personalities, musical backgrounds from a selection of tracks by up-and-coming Belgian artists, a “hot deal” section with special offers by Belgian and UK–based operators, new pictures and stunning slide shows.
