Advice Brussels with a 77-Year-Old Mother

[SuitcaseSeeker]

I'm planning a special trip to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday in May 2025, starting with Paris and then heading to Brussels. I'm looking for advice on making Brussels enjoyable and comfortable for her. She loves history, art, and good food but isn't up for too much walking. Any recommendations on must-see attractions that are senior-friendly, cozy cafes, or any tips for navigating the city with an elderly parent? Also, if there are any specific areas or accommodations that would be ideal for us, I'd love to hear about them.

What a wonderful way to celebrate your mother's birthday! Brussels has plenty to offer for history and art lovers, and many attractions are senior-friendly. The Grand Place is a must-see and relatively easy to navigate, with stunning architecture and nearby cafes where you can rest. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts are also worth visiting, with elevators and seating areas for breaks. For a more relaxed experience, consider a guided bus tour to see the city's highlights without too much walking. As for accommodations, staying near the city center or the Sablon district would be ideal—both areas are charming, walkable, and close to many attractions. Have you thought about exploring the city's chocolate shops? They're a delightful treat for any celebration!
