Want to indulge in chocolate without breaking your budget? You don't have to buy a whole box of chocolates from a chocolate shop. You can buy chocolates, truffles, etc., by the piece. Ask for a mix in a bag, choose the ones you want and enjoy them at a low price!
Arsene 50 is a great plan for discounted tickets to shows, up to 50% off tickets to plays, concerts, etc. taking place on the same day.

Going to a club? A small tip to the bouncer is generally appreciated.
What budget to eat Bruxelles - Brussel?
You can get by for less than €10 in a French fry shop. In restaurants or brasseries, à la carte main courses will generally cost between €20 and €35, or even more in gourmet restaurants. As for drinks, you'll pay a little more for wine than in France, but you can make up for it with beer (price and variety).
A special beer will still be quite expensive (usually between €4.50 and €8, depending on the location), but there's always a selected beer of the month on special offer. Or happy hour at certain times of the week. Keep your eyes peeled for good places!
As in restaurants, service is included and you don't have to leave a tip, unless you want to.

As always, last-minute booking websites can be an interesting way of finding good prices for comfortable or luxury hotels.
Travel budget Bruxelles - Brussel and cost of living
You will quickly notice that except for beer, the cost of living is a bit more expensive in Belgium: restaurants, shopping, hotels, transportation, museums... For smaller budgets (for example, staying in a youth hostel dormitory), count on at least 60 €/day. In restaurants and bars, service is included in the bill, so there is no need to tip, unless you want to reward particularly attentive service.
