Springtime, from mid-May to the end of June, is a particularly good time to enjoy Brussels. The city is a destination ideally suited for walking and temperatures are still mild during this period. Summers are usually hot, but could be a good opportunity to enjoy the city if you can cope with the high temperatures. The month of August in particular has better hotel rates as locals are on vacation, there are less business people going to the city and the European Union organizations are on a break. Spring, summer and mid-autumn also have the benefit of longer periods of daylight, hence enabling you to enjoy the city for long hours in natural light.
