The best time to visit Brussels is in the shoulder season in the months of March to May and September to October when the temperature ranges from 8°C to 19°C. Brussels sees the highest number of travelers during the shoulder season as the weather is perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Veteran travelers would say that one can visit Brussels all-year around, but for beginners, shoulder season is probably the best time to visit Brussels, the Belgian capital. The home to the headquarters of the EU, numerous ancient and medieval landmarks and the best chocolate in the world is a fascinating hub for tourists of Western Europe. From May to October, Brussels buzzes with tourists from all around the world.
March-May (8°C to 17°C)
March to May is a shoulder season for Brussels tourism, as the peak summer season is yet to begin. During this time, you will get a particularly pleasant climate, with a hint of cold left from winter and the spring slowly breaking into summer. There can be occasional precipitation, which would make the weather colder for a while, but not for long. This is the best time to visit Brussels if you want to enjoy the best of both worlds.
The most notable event during these months is Iris Day Festival which is held in May.
June-August (15°C to 20°C)
June marks the proper arrival of summer as well as tourists in Brussels. Officially, this is the peak season for European tourism and Brussels is a big part of it.
