July in Brussels brings high temperatures of 22C and low temperatures of 13C. Sadly, half of the month is smarked by rain, too. However, the 6 hours of daily sunshine should at least provide enough time for you to exploreBrussels, Belgium and to enjoy the various events on offer this month.
Brussels boasts350 Bed and Breakfast places, many of which offer a 10% discount. You'll notice that many of these B&B places actually belong to the residents of the city, however, it may be more comfortable than at a hotel.
If a B&B is not your style, then maybe a cheaper or a budget hotel will satisfy your needs. Take for instance theFloris Arlequin Grand Place. This hotel has a good restaurant (7th Heaven, at the 7th floor), a separate bar and a fitness room to work off all that tasty fare.
For 3 days, from July 2nd to July 4th, one can attend theOmmegang Pageant - a celebration to honour Emperor Charles V who lived in the 16th century. There will be more than 1,400 performers attending, reliving history.
July the 5th marks the beginning of theBruxelles les Bains event in 2013, during which, one will have a lot of fun on an exotic beach, right in the middle of this European capital.
The 21st of July marks an important public holiday, Independence Day, so you'll notice many places will be closed for the day.
In July, there aren't many festivities going on, but exploring the city and its attractions such as the Brewery Museum is enough to keep most people happy and busy. Kids can visit the museum for free.
