What is the cost of living in Brussels, Belgium?
Can you provide me with a general list of prices (e.g. rent for a one-bedroom, furnished apartment, food, entertainment, taxes, clothing, travel, etc). Thank you all in advance.

The Mercer yearly study will give you some info. for instance for a furnished 80 sq. meter flat you would pay 800 euros (heating expenses included). Restaurants can vary between 15 to 35 euros. Max for a movie 10 euros but if you buy a card of 5 seats it will go down to 6 euros. A public transport ride is of 1,1 euros (with A 10 ride card). Taxes are directly taken from your pay and is high. Therefore ask to the employer how much you would get, net after tax. Hope it helps!

a normal one-person's flat will cost you appr. 600-700 euro a month + water & heating food is not that expensive (you can easily find cheap restaurants that offer good quality) entertainment can vary a lot, depending on what you're looking for. in clubs you can count about 20 euro entry fee, and 10 euro for a long drink. clothing is in my opinion way too expensive in brussels, you can find better places not so far from there (leuven, namur, wavre, antwerp, ghent)

Appartment 400-650 without heating, mines are about 450 Euro excl.heating & electricity. Electricity is about 25-35 Euro per month (on meter). Heating 75 Euro per month provision and 200 Euro yearly cost. Water is about 49 Euro for 3 months (it depends what you use all on meter). Food, since the Euro came in it's 3 x the price, a bread is now 1,85 Euro. Taxes a 1/3 of the montly salery. Clothing can be expensive or cheap it depends what you want. Travel look out on the internet Sunjets is sheaper then Jetair abd have the same hotels. Entertainment, well cheaper then London, but yes the shows are not de same.
