La Travel Clinic des Hôpitaux Iris Sud propose des consultations pour les adultes et les enfants, avec des infectiologues spécialisés en médecine du voyage. Nos spécialistes vous informent sur les vaccins en vigueur et vous donnent des conseils médicaux pour préparer votre voyage à l’étranger.

Selon votre destination et votre mode de voyage, certains vaccins sont vivement recommandés et obligatoires. Par exemple, la vaccination contre la fièvre jaune est exigée pour franchir la frontière de nombreux pays africains et sud-américains. La vaccination contre la méningite est quant à elle obligatoire pour les personnes qui se rendent en pèlerinage à La Mecque.

Pendant la consultation, nos infectiologues feront le point avec vous concernant les vaccins nécessaires pour entrer dans le pays où vous souhaitez vous rendre. Emmenez-y votre carnet de vaccination ainsi que le questionnaire complété  (vous pouvez le télécharger via le lien à droite).

Remarques :

  • Suite à de nouvelles dispositions légales, le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune ne peut être administré que sur notre site Etterbeek-Ixelles.
  • La vaccination des enfants en Travel Clinic se fait via le service de pédiatrie.

Conseils avant votre voyage

Que ce soit en Afrique, en Asie ou en Amérique latine,  chaque pays met en place des recommandations sanitaires propres. Les médecins de la Travel Clinic peuvent vous renseigner et vous conseiller en fonction du type de voyage que vous avez choisi.

Ces conseils peuvent porter sur :

  • Les actualités infectieuses et les épidémies en cours (Zika, Ebola, variole du singe, etc.)
  • La prévention de la malaria
  • La prévention des IST (Infections Sexuellement Transmissibles)
  • La diarrhée du voyageur
  • Le mal d’altitude
  • Les activités sportives
  • Les morsures d’insectes et d’animaux
  • La pharmacie d’urgence à emmener avec soi

Certains voyageurs sont plus à risque que d’autres : bébés, femmes enceintes, malades chroniques, seniors. Des conseils sont adaptés à chacun d’entre eux pour que leur voyage se passe au mieux.

Quand prévoir la consultation ?

Pensez à vous faire vacciner à temps ! Il en va de la garantie de la tolérance et de l’efficacité des traitements et des vaccins prescrits.

Voici, à titre d’exemple, le nombre de jours à prévoir avant votre départ :

  • 30 : Hépatite B
  • 21 : Malaria 
  • 10 : Fièvre jaune, fièvre typhoïde, méningocoque
  • 7 : Hépatite A
  • 1 : Jour du départ

Nous vous conseillons donc de prévoir une consultation au minimum un mois avant votre départ pour que toutes les possibilités de vaccins et médicaments puissent être envisagées.

Vous vous êtes déjà fait vacciner auparavant ? Attention, certains vaccins sont à refaire.

Après votre voyage

Vous vous sentez malade ou avez de la fièvre depuis votre retour ? Rendez-vous aux urgences du site Etterbeek-Ixelles en mentionnant votre récent voyage. L’équipe des Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales sera immédiatement prévenue.

Information for travellers

Information for travel clinics and professionals .

Travel clinics aim to:

  • provide explanations and prescriptions with a view to possible self-treatment while travelling (e.g. for diarrhoea or altitude sickness).

In addition to providing vaccines and advice before the planned trip, the travel clinic also offers the possibility of advice during or after the trip.

There is a safe and effective vaccine to prevent TBE. It is recommended for all people (usually from the age of 3) who are exposed to ticks in a risk area (all of Switzerland except Ticino).

The vaccination consists of three doses (0, 2-4 weeks, 6-12 months). A booster is recommended every 10 years.

Must-see attractions in Brussels

11 March 2022

Are you a first-timer in Brussels? Don’t worry, then: you're in good hands. We've put together a list of must-see attractions for you. This way, you can discover our capital through its best-known and most valuable treasures. An excellent introduction to the city!

An absolute must: the Grand Place, and the neighbouring galleries

Visiting Brussels without spending some time in the Grand Place is simply unthinkable. Here you’ll see the town hall (one of the most beautiful in the country), the Maison du Roi , which is home to the Brussels City Museum, and a series of private houses built at the end of the 17th century. The architectural richness of this square is simply overwhelming.

Just a stone's throw away from the Grand Place are the Royal Galleries , one of the oldest covered galleries in Europe, as beautiful by day as by night.

Manneken Pis: it’s not the size that matters

Since the 15th century, the  Manneken Pis  sculpture has adorned one of the public fountains that supply the city with drinking water. Over time, this wee little man became a kind of mascot, with the people of Brussels seeing him as a symbol of the local temperament, a unique combination of mischievous, irreverent and droll. A much coveted symbol, since the present statue is a copy. The original, which has been stolen several times, is now safely housed in the Brussels City Museum . Nearby, you can discover the vast wardrobe of Manneken Pis at the GardeRobe MannekenPis Museum.

Comic Strips in the streets: the Comic Strip trail

Brussels is the undisputed capital of the comic strip. The ninth art can be found everywhere, in shops, galleries, flea markets, festivals and more. And since 1991, the city's walls have been gradually covered with frescoes that pay tribute to the authors and their many heroes. You can turn down a street and come face to face with Tintin , Cubitus, Billy and Buddy , Blake and Mortimer or Corto Maltese . In all, there are more than 80 murals immersing locals, visitors and tourists alike in the wonderful world of comics.

An 18th century masterpiece: the Royal Quarter

The Place Royale, which was built on the ashes of the Coudenberg Palace , has retained its historical function as the “executive power district”. You’ll find the Royal Palace , the “office” of the Belgian King, at the Place des Palais, bordering the Place Royale. Opposite is the Parc de Bruxelles or Royal Park. The streets bordering the park are also part of the same neoclassical ensemble. For instance, on the other side of the park, you will see the  Palace of the Nation , the seat of the Belgian Parliament. At the Place Royale, with the statue of Godfrey of Bouillon at the centre, you’ll discover the Church of St. James on Coudenberg that resembles a Greco-Roman temple and a series of similar, harmonious mansions.

Culture with a view: the Mont des Arts

The Mont des Arts is the junction between uptown and downtown Brussels and offers a delightful view in all seasons. Below, you can sit in the sumptuous gardens that lead to the statue of Albert I. The “knightly king” faces his love, Queen Elizabeth, whose statue stands on the small Place de l'Albertine on the other side of the road.The Mont des Arts is home to the KBR , the country's main library, and the KBR Museum , which houses the library of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Archives & Museum of Literature (AML). On the other side of the Mont des Arts you’ll find the Brussels Congress Centre Square . Within walking distance you’ll also find major museums and cultural institutions such as Bozar , the BELvue museum and the Museum of Musical Instruments (MIM), to name but a few.

Spotlight on the masters: the Royal Museums of Fine Arts

As beautiful from the outside as it is from the inside, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is a treasure trove of art. In fact, it is the most visited museum in Brussels. Its pluralised name reflects the fact that it contains several sites, covering a variety of periods and themes. Near Place Royale, you can visit the Old Masters Museum , dedicated to European painters from the 15th to the 18th centuries, and the popular Magritte Museum . Not far away, in Ixelles, you can admire the Wiertz and Meunier museums.

The Marolles district: authentic and diverse

This district is arguably the most authentic part of Brussels. Here, you can often still hear the Brusseleir dialect being spoken. The Marolles have it all, from traditional cafés to trendy bars, family-run establishments to stylish new art galleries. Place du Jeu de Balle is the beating heart of this quarter, where the " Vieux Marché ", a gigantic flea market, is held every day.

When size does matter: the Palace of Justice

The colossal Palace of Justice was inaugurated in 1883. It was designed by the architect Joseph Poelaert, and towers over the working-class district of the Marolles at a location where, for centuries, death sentences were carried out. At the time of its construction, this monument of 40,000 m2 of usable space was the largest building ever built and it’s still one of the largest courthouses in the world today. However, restauration works have tarnished its visual spectacle since the 1980s, to the point that scaffolding had to be erected to ensure the renovation... of the scaffolding already in place! (currently not accessible)

The Atomium: the landmark

Created for the 1958 World Fair, the Atomium with its 9 balls represents an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times!  (It is often mistakenly thought to represent an atom, but in fact each ball represents an atom of iron). The significance of this construction is to celebrate scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. Inside, you will find exhibitions and, most importantly, a stunning view of the Brussels-Capital Region from the top ball. Only a short walk away, embark on a tour of all Europe’s wonders in miniature, thanks to  Mini-Europe . Design lovers won’t want to miss the  Design Museum Brussels  only a stone’s throw away, born following the Atomium’s acquisition of a private collection.

A cultural crossroads: the European Quarter

Far from being a neighbourhood of grey and austere offices, the European Quarter combines European institutions with community life, parks, museums and more. In this district, you can attend plenary sessions in the Parliament's hemicycle and learn more about the Union thanks to the Parlamentarium , the House of European History and Experience Europe . You can also stroll through Léopold Park , a green space that recalls the days when the bourgeoisie moved in en masse from the bustling heart of the city. The district is also a landmark for fans of contemporary and Art Nouveau architecture.

Triumphal splendour: the Cinquantenaire

Built in 1880 to celebrate Belgium's 50th birthday, the Cinquantenaire attracts locals who appreciate its formal garden , history buffs who visit the Art & History Museum , car fans who flock to Autoworld and curious minds who are amazed by the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History . The latter, an often underestimated attraction, also offers access to the arches for a 360° panoramic view of the city.

Once upon a time: the Institute of Natural Sciences

The Institute of Natural Sciences tops the list of the world's best dinosaur museums, which is hardly surprising given that it houses Europe's largest dinosaur gallery. With rooms covering all aspects of life on earth, the evolution of human beings, urban species and the creatures of the seabed, the Museum has something for visitors of all ages. You can even take a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific institute to which it belongs.

Dinosaur skeleton at the Institute of Natural Sciences

The Horta House: quintessential Art Nouveau

Between 1898 et 1901, the architect Victor Horta built Horta House , which consisted of two buildings: his office and his personal home. This prolific pioneer of the Art Nouveau style was responsible for many architectural gems in Brussels. In his own house, which has been converted to a museum, you’ll find all the hallmarks of the Art Nouveau style. The house, now a museum, is one of the many Art Nouveau gems dotted along the streets of the capital .

The Koekelberg Basilica: house of the holy

Legend has it that the idea of building a national basilica in Brussels came to King Leopold II after a visit to the construction site of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris. The construction of the basilica started in 1905, only to be completed in 1970. Some see it as the largest Art Deco church in the world, others as an excessive and ostentatious folly. We’ll let you decide for yourself.
