The label focussing on health safety for the Brussels tourism sector

06 May 2022

In order to enable the sector to reopen as safely as possible, the Brussels-Capital Region and visit.brussels launch a health safety label, created in partnership with the global certification company SOCOTEC. It has the simple aim of providing national and international visitors with reassurance around the quality and safety of Brussels’ tourist infrastructure.

The protocol behind this label was created in close collaboration with tourism-sector federations and partners. It will evolved based on the National Security Council’s guidelines and must support the sector over the months to come.

The objectives for the label

Informing and reassuring the national and international public about the measures being taken by the brussels tourist venues and sites they plan to visit.
Ensuring that the mandatory general rules applicable to all sectors as well as those specific to each sector are adhered to.

Who can get the label?

The label is aimed at the tourism and cultural sectors. In other words:

Attractions & museums
Tourist accommodation
Guided tours
Restaurants and bars
Venues

In this link you will find lall the certified establishments listed.

The principles to be respected in order to obtain the label

In order to obtain the label, all operators must respect generic measures and minimum prevention rules based on the protocol specific to each sector to ensure safe contacts and thus protect the health of the public.

How to obtain the label?

The label is available free of charge to all tourism partners should they wish to apply for one.
All they need to do is send an application form containing the required files.

We have determined a specific protocol for tourist residences and homestays. Please contact us at label@visit.brussels for more information.

For each document, we have prepared either a template that you can simply complete, or an example that you can use as a basis. Click here to download all templates and examples. When sending your files, please respect the nomenclature of your files (structure of the names of the documents) as indicated in the list of required documents.

Your application should be sent to label.visit.brussels@socotec.com and label@visit.brussels

Once the application has been accepted, the partner will receive a certificate and all materials (such as visual materials and a poster) to put up on its front or in its window. In addition to being visible at these sites, the label will be promoted via a communications campaign coordinated by visit.brussels.

In order to ensure that the label is properly implemented, establishments bearing the label will be randomly checked by visit.brussels’s certification partner, SOCOTEC, which has worked in the safety industry for more than 20 years. These checks will set out to ensure that the rules required to receive the label are being implemented and followed.

Autoworld

An impressive historic building in Brussels, linked with automotive history, is home to Autoworld, the Belgian National Automobile Museum. Situated in the ‘Parc du Cinquantenaire’, the neo-classical building commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1880.

Sewers Museum

Why not visit the Brussels sewers and the Sewers museum during your next excursion in Brussels. A visit of Brussels' sewerage network - led by experienced guides or ex-workers - is extraordinary, full of surprises, but above all fascinating. The sewers have become vital to our way of life, so much so that it's hard to imagine what it was like before they existed. A visit of the Sewers Museum (and a real sewer!) is therefore an amazing, unusual and thrilling experience. Brussels' first sewerage network came into use in the 17th century, but they were very limited and a large part of the city's waste still found its way into the river Senne. The river carried waste and carrion and regularly overflowed, or dried out in the summer, leaving behind less-than-pleasant smells. It was partially due to this, that the government in the second half of the 19th century decided to completely transform the Senne and its neighbouring streets by building great boulevards to cover the insalubrious area. Between the two world wars a second transformation: a portion of the Senne was diverted and then covered over. The sewerage network improved and grew over the years, going from 45 km in 1847 to the 350 km that we have today. The entrance to the museum is housed in one of the toll pavilions that used to collect taxes on goods that entered the city.

Sewers Museum

Atomium

Halfway between sculpture and architecture, the Atomium was designed and built for the Brussels World's Fair (1958), for which it was the flagship building and emblem. Representing an iron unit cell (9 iron atoms) magnified 165 billion times, the monument with its unique silhouette has, over time, grown to become the symbol of Brussels and Belgium. On the inside the Atomium offers, not just the most beautiful view of Brussels, but also an entirely astounding and surreal ride through its interior spaces and volumes which alone makes a visit worth it. The Atomium ticket automatically includes the entrance to the Design Museum Brussels (150m away).

Comic Strip Museum (Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée)

An accomplished attraction located in the heart of Brussels, the Belgian Comic Strip Center has been honouring the creators and heroes of the 9th Art for more than 25 years.

Tintin and the Smurfs lead the way towards further adventures, an encounter with a world where creativity has no limits. Enhanced by an exceptional Art Nouveau home designed by Victor Horta, the Belgian Comic Strip Center is just as much a tribute to the pioneers as a glimpse of contemporary comics art. Open every day (7/7) in July and August and during Belgian school holidays.

Art & marges museum

Museum of outsider art. Since its founding in 1984 and the first exhibition of 1986, Art & Marge – now the ‘art )&( marges [margins] museum’ – promotes artists outside the mainstream. These self-taught artists, often called “outsider artists”, work either individually or in creative workshops in institutions for people who are mentally unwell or who are mentally challenged. In addition to the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions will establish a dynamic dialogue with paintings by professional artists from the mainstream who are active in their cultural surroundings – the boundary between ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ art? The ‘Art & Marges’ museum is not a ghetto museum but a venue for exchange, where individuality is of prime importance and where all efforts are made to make all target groups feel at home. Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 11.00 am and 5.30 pm by appointment only.

Focusing on visual arts, but granting a particular attention to the crossings and interactions with other disciplines, the centre wishes to present contemporary art in all its diversity and to offer a permanent dialogue with the developments and the most recent debates of the art world.

Coudenberg Palace

Once upon a time, the Coudenberg Palace towered over the city of Brussels. Charles V and many other of the most powerful rulers ever to reign in Europe made this princely residence their home between the 12th and 18th centuries, until it was consumed by a terrible fire. Every trace of this prestigious palace simply disappeared underground for many years. Today, however, these ruins constitute a fascinating archeological site incorporating a network of underground passages and chambers. When you visit it you can explore the principal buildings of the palace and enjoy a stroll along the Rue Isabelle, which is now underground. In the Coudenberg Museum, located in Hoogstraeten House, the finest of the archeological discoveries made during the various excavations of the Coudenberg site are displayed.

Theatre la Balsamine

La Balsamine defends the need for Art for Art but wants to make it accessible to as many people as possible. It is a creative house that hosts and accompanies artists who are daily confronted with the need to question the meaning, the context in which they practice their art, the style they develop and the values they represent. Contemporary creation is a moving and perpetually questionable form that confronts the audience to its ability to create meaning and live his relationship with the world. It challenges us on our own creativity and our ability to express who we are. It questions norms, including those of taste.
