a Power Cit y
All important EU decisions are taken in Brussels. That’s why the city is home to more than 1,000 international press representatives and Europe’s premier lobbying community; trade associations, multinational companies, regional authorities and NGOs all play a role in the consensusbased approach to EU policy making. Brussels signed an alliance with Washington DC in 2011. Recognising the two cities’ similar profiles as world political and administrative centres, the “Power Cities” alliance enables the cities to support one and other in the promotion of their respective destinations and share best practice, with the aim of attracting major conventions to their cities.
Multicultur al understanding
Everybody is welcome in Brussels. The capital of 500 million Europeans is a cosmopolitan city, with an art de vivre to be envied. The growth of EU institutions and international organisations has enriched this historical multi-culture, creating a truly cosmopolitan city.

Important military venue dating from the beginning of the last century, renovated with a respect for style and the existing materials.
The Royal Museums of Arts and History can offer much more than their important art-historical collections. The Royal Museums of Arts and History surrounded by the marvellous Parc du Cinquantenaire, the Chinese Pavilion and the Japanese Tower situated in the garden of the Royal Palace at Laeken and the Halle Gate (Porte de Hal) in the ancient heart of Brussels are unique venues to organize private evenings, receptions, gala dinners, press conferences, colloquia and other events. It is also possible to let your guests enjoy the splendor of the art treasures by combining the event with a visit of the Museum.
Sandstone brick walls, roof with “zinc” style cladding outside and of wood on the inside, smooth concrete flooring. Thanks to a single transparent glass roof, the setting benefits from daylight. Transformed into an adjustable 700 m2 space, it meets modern eventrelated, artistic, commercial or private needs. Member of “choux de Bruxelles”: Venue finder (see Activity / Service)
Capacity for dinners: until 600 guests (i.e. The Grand Narthex Hall with some of the famous Brussels tapestries). Capacity for receptions: until 900 guests (i.e. the Cloister, an attractive cloister garden surrounded by a neogothic building containing mediaeval stone sculpture and stained glass windows). Capacity for conferences: until 236 guests (i.e. modern auditorium).

New in Brussels Wolubilis: Treat yourself to a place fit to host your events. Located on the Boulevard de la Woluwe, one of the main entrance points of the commune and one of the most used major trunk roads, linked directly to the ring road and right next to the airport – the Wolubilis site is bordered by the Woluwe Shopping Center, the UCL campus, car parks and a metro station. This ideal location east of Brussels is an exceptional pole of attraction for cultural and business events.
Elegance and refinement Right from the beginning, in 1785, “Concert Noble” has been conceived as a meeting place. First it was restricted to noblemen and women and later it became a well cherished gathering place of people of distinction. This is still so today. Whether you organize a banquet or a ball, a fashion show or a press conference, “Concert Noble” offers you the most exclusive venue in Brussels. Located in the heart of Brussels, within walking distance from the European Institutions, you can hardly find a better location.
The state-of-the-art facilities of the Wolubilis theatre are ideal for hosting business events like press conferences, symposiums, seminars, concerts, advertising presentations, cocktail parties, corporate events... The hall and infrastructure of the theatre on three stories offer all the comfort and pleasures to be expected from an ultra-modern conference centre. A visit can be arranged beforehand and we can provide a detailed quote on request.

Chalet Robinson: Ile Robinson - Bois de la Cambre
The International Auditorium conference centre is located in the heart of Brussels, within walking distance of the Place Rogier metro station, the Gare du Nord railway station and Rogier and Manhattan car parks.
A renowned, out-of-the-ordinary location in the very heart of the Bois de la Cambre, on the Ile Robinson (Robinson’s Island).
The theatre style air-conditioned Auditorium provides seating for 200 and is equipped with 11 built-in translation booths and an LCD projector. Five meeting rooms, one of which is equipped with 6 built-in translation booths, offer natural daylight and seats for up to 72 persons. The lobby and restaurant complete the picture and make the International Auditorium conference centre a highly appreciated seminar and meeting venue.
Ravaged by fire in 1991, the Chalet Robinson has since been restored to its timbered charm of yesteryear. The Chalet Robinson comprises a series of spacious reception areas spread over two floors, and a splendid terrace. The island is reached via two electric ferryboats. It is an exceptional site, the perfect setting for events of all kinds - receptions, gala dinners, walking dinners, marriages and sports ceremonies – with the added enjoyment of the verdant surroundings of the lively Bois de la Cambre.

Mini-Europe, the most beautiful miniature park in Europe that gives a European dimension to your event is situated right next to the famous Atomium. In Mini-Europe you can find monuments recreated down to the smallest detail on a scale of 1/25th.
MIM (Musical Instruments Museum) joined the Brussels museum district on the “Mont des Arts” in June 2000, a lovely new setting for this museum founded in 1877, combining Art Nouveau of the former Old England store building by Paul Saintenoy and the neoclassic style of the Guimard building.
In this unique surrounding with easy access and parking facilities we can offer you 100% exclusivity in 3 different rooms with view on the park. In total we can welcome up to 650 persons,if you wish to organise an event for more guests we also have possibilities to provide extra tents.
On the four floors of exhibits, audio and visual displays intermingle by means of infrared headsets and an interactive sound area.
In the evening the park can be illuminated by a thousand and one lights with the possibility to organise exclusive fireworks.
The 200-seat MIM auditorium, on the 8 floor is an ideal host for conferences and lectures. And on the 10 floor, the MIM restaurant gives visitors a magnificent panorama of Brussels.
We also offer an outstanding catering service (not obliged) adapted to your budget!

Opting for the BELvue museum and the Coudenberg as your choice of venue for your prestigious events, is opting to travel through more than nine centuries of history in the heart of Europe.
The Latour de Freins Domain is situated in a green setting in Brussels, 20 minutes away from downtown. This conference and business center located in a 19th century castle in the middle of a quiet park is an outstanding place for your meetings, seminars, workshops, cocktail receptions and dinners.
From the 12th century onwards, successive monarchs transformed a small fortified castle into a sumptuous residential palace, one of the most beautiful European palaces and one of Charles V’s main residences. This prestigious building was severely damaged by fire in 1731 and it is beneath the place Royale that you will discover its remains, the archaeological site of the Coudenberg.
The conference center is comprised of 6 rooms, holding between 2 and 180 people, as well as tremendous covered outdoor terraces and lawns, which can accommodate up to 1000 people. All rooms are equipped with wifi and ADSL connections, and have natural light.
The BELvue museum will take you through the story of a small country, an amazing story of a piece of land called Belgium. The museum’s magnificent setting is a former 18th century luxury hotel that has recently been beautifully renovated and is itself steeped in history. It offers the visitors an exceptional view of the royal palace and its gardens.

In July, 1997, Michel Dehaes, Henri Sicard and Bernard Lemort inaugurated the Esprit Brasserie, immediately next door to the Esprit de Sel. In a traditional way, the room has its marble-topped tables lined up side-by-side. The style is, above all, that of a brasserie, with a décor recalling the beginning of the last century. The atmosphere is lively and congenial, the dishes are choice and tasteful, the setting friendly and with close attention to detail (tinted mirrors, brass metalwork, hand-blown white glass lampshades). Two years later, the rapidly growing success of the two independent restaurants inspired the three founders to bring them both together. Henceforward, the Esprit de Sel and the Esprit Brasserie became a single establishment : the Esprit de Sel Brasserie. Since then, an opening created in the party wall has made a useful connection between the two rooms, each of which still retains its own character, offering an intelligent choice to the customer who, according to the style or mood he wants, can choose whichever surroundings he thinks the more appropriate. Both rooms offer the same wide choice of food and drink. As a result of carefully thought-out ideas, the gamble has paid off. Today, the Esprit de Sel Brasserie has undoubtedly become an important meeting-place for visitors, regulars, gourmets, artists and other celebrities.

he largest parliamentary visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centre in Europe and the first to be fully operational in 23 languages, it uses an impressive array of interactive multimedia tools to give citizens, tourists
and local residents a unique insight into the European Parliament and the other European institutions. Visitors are able to get closer to politicians through interactive multimedia displays, take a virtual tour through Europe on a 3D map, see what the European Union has done for each country along the way, learn about the role of the European Parliamentâ&#x20AC;Ś and much more. The Parlamentarium is family-friendly and warmly welcomes adults and children from Belgium and all other countries. The Parlamentarium includes a role-play game for secondary school students wishing to take a crash course in the workings of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democratically elected parliament.
