Belgium Formula One Grand Prix - Motorsport tours from Sports Event Travel, Robert Broad Travel

A weekend in Brussels is a delightful experience. The Grand Place is the historic centre with grand architecture, flower markets and traditional cafes. There are plenty of late night eateries in the narrow, winding streets behind the Grand Place and in the Summer months it is lively into the early hours. There are designer shops and nightclubs on the Avenue Louise and in the Sablon you will find the antique dealers and tucked away bars and restaurants. You can spend three or four nights with us at the 2011 Belgian Grand Prix in Brussels flying from a selection of UK airports or by Eurostar train from London St Pancras. Daily track transfers to the Spa-Francorchamps F1 circuit are, of course, included.

The Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix circuit is so close that driving is also a popular option. Our 2011 Belgian Grand Prix hotels are in Liege or the village of La Gleize just ten kilometres from the Spa-Francorchamps track. In the heart of the Ardennes, the scenery is majestic with steep, densely-forested hills and deep river valleys. The flexibility of driving to the Grand Prix circuit each day also gives you the chance to explore some of the towns and villages in the area and to find some excellent restaurants.
