With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we thought it was time to take stock of the most original gift ideas and outings to share this Friday, February 14, 2025 in Brussels. And since we thought that giving a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates was out of fashion, we’ve come up with something much, much better. We’ve got just the thing to make Cupid jealous.
Candlelight for the sweet tooth
What could be more romantic than to be lulled to sleep by the sweet melodies of the 7art’s greatest classics (La La Land, Cinema Paradiso, Moulin Rouge!, Love Actually, Twilight…) and the most beautiful hymns to love performed by a virtuoso pianist under the subdued glow of thousands of candles? What’s more, in a venue as prestigious as the Concert Noble? Don’t think twice and treat yourself to a memorable evening to mark Valentine’s Day.
📍Address: Concert Noble, Rue d’Arlon 82, Brussels, 1000
Fondue with a view and cocktails at Rooftop Perché
Imagine yourself perched atop one of the city’s hippest rooftops, with a breathtaking view of Brussels’ finest monuments under a mountain of melted cheese! No, it’s not a dream, it’s simply the new hotspot for the capital’s discerning foodie couples. Le Rooftop Perché invites you to the heart of the city, on the 7th floor, to enjoy a tasty, vertiginous fondue and a cocktail. Take your better half up to the 7th floor!
📍Address: Chaussée de Charleroi, 132, Saint-Gilles, 1060
Admire the sunset from Place Poelaert
Forget the Atomium (too busy) or the Koekelberg Basilica (too out of the way): the ideal place for a breathtaking, romantic view over the whole city is definitely Place Poelaert. Located at the foot of the Palace of Justice, it offers a breathtaking view of the Belgian capital. From here, you can even see the Grand-Place! Come at sunset… and get your ring out!

Stroll hand in hand through the gardens of the Van Buuren Museum

Here, you and your other half can marvel at the beauty of the heart-shaped hedges, while counting your blessings in one of Brussels’ most romantic gardens!
Sail a boat on the Brussels canal
If you’re a Titanic fan, this idea is for you (as long as you don’t end up in the water)… Companies like Rivertours offer year-round boat rentals for lovers to glide along the gentle waters of the city’s canal. Just make sure your partner isn’t seasick; otherwise, your romantic excursion could turn into a disaster!
