About Brussels, in a nutshell
Brussels is one of the most interesting cities on the old continent. When you arrive from IaČi in the capital of Belgium, you are surrounded by art, culture and history. To get there, it is enough to take a flight from IaČi. After a few hours you land at Charleroi and then stop in the very heart of Europe.
Why visit Brussels?
Brussels is a city you should see at least once in your life: famous sights, cosy cafés, authentic chocolate, Belgian waffles, lively pubs and local beer. The culture of Belgium’s capital attracts thousands of tourists every year.
A quick overview of what a city-break in Brussels with a flight from IaČi looks like:
Direct IaČi–Brussels (Charleroi) flight, around 2 hours, low-cost airlines and promo fares starting from about €20 when booked smart.
Easy access from Moldova: about 140 km from ChiČinÄu to IaČi by bus or train, with regular connections during the day.
Hotels for any budget: from smart 3ā economy options to emblematic and luxurious 5ā properties in central Brussels.
Must-see sights: Grande Place, Manneken Pis, Atomium, Royal Palace, museums and the European Quarter with EU institutions.
Flexible Admiral.Travel packages: “flight & hotel” only or all-inclusive with excursions, transfers and full on-trip support.
Tailor-made approach: your route and trip style are adapted to your budget, interests and how long you stay in Brussels.
IaČi – Brussels flight: the beginning of the journey
IaČi Airport is the cheapest and closest gateway for travellers from Moldova heading to Brussels. After about 140 km from ChiČinÄu, covered by bus or train with regular departures, tourists can fly to Belgium from as little as €20. If you catch the right promotion, the ticket can be even cheaper.
From IaČi to Brussels, low-cost airlines RyanAir and WizzAir operate flights. Services run almost daily. A IaČi–Brussels flight takes about two hours, landing at the well-known Charleroi Airport.
WizzAir operates IaČi–Brussels flights four times a week, while RyanAir offers three IaČi–Brussels flights weekly.
Fast & convenient: direct IaČi – Brussels flights
The big advantage of a direct IaČi–Brussels flight is savings. There are also flights from ChiČinÄu to the Belgian capital operated by the Moldovan airline FlyOne, but the prices are significantly higher. If you add the round-trip cost of public transport to IaČi, you can still save around €100.
For travellers who want to fly to Brussels, location matters. For example, residents of Moldovan districts bordering Romania often have a cheaper, easier and more convenient route to IaČi Airport than to ChiČinÄu Airport.
Tours to Brussels – from city walks to all-inclusive
The first rule of Admiral.Travel experts is to create a personalised tour to Brussels with flights from IaČi for every traveller. Some people want only tickets and a hotel, others prefer an all-inclusive package, while some need help with planning the route or choosing excursions around Belgium.
For maximum comfort we recommend an all-inclusive package. Together with our partners, Admiral.Travel will make sure you get a good-value flight from IaČi, a great hotel, smooth transfers, delicious food, a comfy bed, beautiful places to discover in Brussels, Belgian beer to taste and a shop where you can find original souvenirs.
Any wish our clients have becomes a rule. Admiral.Travel specialists turn into magicians when they select the right offer based on each client’s interests, budget and preferences.

What to do in Brussels during a short trip
Beyond classic sightseeing, Brussels is a city of experiences: flavours, smells, contrasting neighbourhoods and relaxed evenings.
Start your morning at the Grande Place before the crowds arrive, then slip into a side-street café for a proper Belgian waffle breakfast. Around lunchtime, museums are a great idea – from the Magritte Museum to the Museum of Instruments – depending on what you enjoy most.
In the evening, head to a local bar to sample Belgian beer, stroll through the illuminated streets around the Grande Place, browse chocolate boutiques and finish the day with a dinner of local specialities such as mussels, fries and rich desserts.
If you wish, Admiral.Travel experts can recommend themed walks, guided tours or combined itineraries that include other Belgian cities.
Suggested 1-day itinerary in Brussels
If you only have one day in the Belgian capital, you can still make it rich and enjoyable:
In the morning, start in the Grande Place, admire the architecture and enjoy coffee and waffles in a nearby café. Then walk to Manneken Pis for the classic photo and continue uphill towards the Royal Palace, passing through green parks and elegant boulevards.
At lunchtime head to the European Quarter to see the buildings of the European Parliament and other institutions. In the afternoon, choose one museum – for instance the Magritte Museum or the Royal Museum – depending on your interests.
In the evening, go back to the centre, taste Belgian beer in an authentic pub and end the day with dinner featuring mussels, fries and a chocolate dessert.
Suggested 2-day itinerary in Brussels
Two days in Brussels give you enough time to mix the big sights with slower moments and shopping.
On day one you can focus on the classics: Grande Place, Manneken Pis, the Royal Palace, the European Quarter and one museum. In the evening explore the centre and enjoy a Belgian beer tasting in a cosy bar.
On day two, start with a visit to the Atomium and its surroundings – going up offers fantastic panoramic views of the city. Then head back towards the centre for shopping on Avenue Louise or relax in Kinderdijk Park.
Throughout your stay, Admiral.Travel can adjust the itinerary to your real arrival and departure times so that every hour in Brussels is used to the fullest.
