Hire a car in Brussels with Hertz
As well as being the capital of Belgium, and its largest city, Brussels is the centre of European politics. Dating back to the 11th century, Brussels became the capital in 183 when Belgium gained its independence.
Due to its importance as the Capital of Europe, the city incorporates both of the official languages spoken in Belgium (French & Flemish). One its most famous attractions is the Grand Place (or Grote Markt in Flemish). Car hire in Brussels will allow you to explrore this UNESCO world heritage site, where the 15th Century town square is lined with cafes and bars, and plays host to many events throughout the year
Hiring a car in Brussels will allow you to take in the unique attractions which will make you visit truly extraordinary. One of the more interesting sites is the Manneken Pis, or the 'Peeing Boy' as it is known to tourists. This small statue attracts thousands of visitors each year, as they flock to see what outfit the tiny bronze boy will be wearing.
Rent a car in Brussels and head to the Grand Place, where you can watch the world go by in one of the many cafes that populate its perimeter. No trip to Brussels would be complete without visiting a chocolatier to buy traditional, handmade Belgian chocolates which make the perfect gift.
You can also travel further afield and discover some of Belgium's wonderful cities. An hour's journey up the A10 lies the picturesque city of Bruges. Steeped in heritage and artistic flair, just walking through its myriad of cobbled streets will inspire you.
Christmas is a perfect time to visit as you can enjoy the Christmas Markets and look for a hand crafted gift for loved ones. The city is equally as impressive in the summer, as you stroll along many of its idyllic walks on the canal banks; Bruges is truly one of the most romantic settings in Europe, and only a short drive from Brussels.
