Brussels Generation Europe

City

Brussels is where the action’s at. It’s a big city that lives up to its status as the capital of Belgium – and of Europe. It’s a grown-up city with a simple, humble heart. And it’s all the better for it!

Generation Europe is right at the thick of the action, just a 15 minute walk from Grand Place and a 10-minute stroll from the atmospheric Place Saint-Géry, Place Sainte-Catherine and the Dansaert district. Perfect for partying, doing a spot of tourism and exploring new things!

The hostel is the ideal base for the Iris Festival, the Brussels Summer Festival, Couleur Café, Belgian Pride, Rock Werchter, Tomorrowland, the Flower Carpet, the 20 km of Brussels, and much more besides. And while you’re here, why not take a trip further afield to visit the Lion’s Mound and the battlefield of the Battle of Waterloo (only 20km from Brussels)?

The hostel is open to solo backpackers, friends, families and groups of all shapes and sizes. It boasts a great outdoor communal area, plus the capital’s only camper van and motor home parking spaces and facilities.

Testimonials

  • Loved the neighbourhood (quiet, 10-15 mins away from city), one tram into the city. The features here are really good, and the vibe is nice and friendly always. Beds are comfy and showers were clean.
