Brussels 2025: Win a copy of the new pocket-sized guide to the capital

The ‘Hotlist 100’ is a pocket-sized, one-stop guide to Brussels’ top cultural outings in 2025 published in English.

Packed with must-see exhibitions, festivals, concerts and surprise venues, the latest edition is in city bookstores now.

It offers a preview of the major cultural events staged in Brussels next year, as well as a handy monthly calendar. The listings include flagship exhibitions and festival being staged next year, as well as the capital’s outstanding jazz and comedy clubs and its top architectural sights.

As a bonus for this new edition, the guide is enhanced with original photos and exclusive humourous drawings by Michel Van Dyck.

All the ideas for the cultural events have been selected by eight journalists with a passion for what’s happening in the Belgian capital: Sarah Crew, Ana Fota, Richard Harris, Laura Jones, Mylène Mistre-Schaal, Liz Newmark, Sarah Schug and Estelle Spoto.

“In the age of omnipresent digital technology, BRUSSELS 2025 reaffirms the pleasure of a rich, inspiring paper diary designed for culture lovers,” says coordinator Guy de Bellefroid.

The guide is a creation of the Foundation for the Arts, in collaboration with visit.brussels. It is available for €10 from the BIP Meeting Centre of visit.brussels and bookstores around the city.
