Hotels near The Bourse and Place de la Monnaie

The area around the Bourse, the grand former stock exchange building, and the nearby Place de la Monnaie, home to the Royal Theatre of La Monnaie, links the different parts of the Brussels Christmas market. Chalets line the pedestrianised boulevard, selling food, drink and gifts.

The Place de la Monnaie has had an après-ski village atmosphere in recent years, with curling lanes, warming drinks and music, making it a lively place for an evening out.

The Bourse area also hosts some of the city's best Christmas illuminations, part of the Brussels by Lights programme that lights up streets across the centre.

Pro Tip: Grab a mulled wine or a Belgian beer in the Place de la Monnaie and watch a curling match. The boulevard around the Bourse is a good place to start an evening stroll.
