Brussels is a city for all seasons. The city wears a different hat in every season and each one of them is as interesting as the next. Brussels is blessed with a mild nautical climate that rarely touches the extremes at either ends. Yes, the winters can get cold, but not unbearably so.

One thing to bear in mind is that it rains in Brussels throughout the year. The warmest months of the year are also the wettest ones. This is considered the best time to travel to Brussels and the tourist influx is at its peak.
