If the Mondial de Paris honestly had lost its luster in 2022this is not the case for Fair in Brussels which is getting bigger. The Belgian fair celebrates her 100e edition this yearand it does it in style, over 9 days, from January 14 to 22 (find our 2023-2024 show guide here).
Practical information
It’s up again Heysel Palace that the show will take place not far from the Atomium. In everything, 5 halls will be stormed by the exhibitors and by the more than 500,000 visitors expected.
They can book their ticket online in advance by choosing a specific date the very correct amount of € 12.50 (7.50 for children) until January 13. From January 14, online or on location, the price will be 15 € (10 € for children).
This can be put into perspective with the entrance ticket for the boring Parisian fair, which can amount to €30 for far fewer exhibitors. Finally about the prices, parking for the day is not more exaggerated since it only costs 10 €.
As for opening times, the palaces are open from 10am to 7pm.with the exception of Monday, January 16 and Friday, January 20, which benefit from nightly openings until 10 p.m.
Finally, the election of the car of the year 2023COTY (Car of the Year), usually held at the Geneva Motor Show (exported to the Middle East), takes place in the margins of this Brussels Motor Show.

Also on this point, the Brussels show is far removed from its Parisian counterpart. Indeed, while the fairs seem to be increasingly avoided by manufacturers, Brussels announces the presence of no fewer than 50 exhibitors, including the largest car brands.

While Nissan, though a member of the Alliance, is among the Asian brands the palace 7 which also receives BMW and Mini. We find BYD, Kia, Lexus, MINI, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota.
The palace 9, for its part, receives BAIC, DFSK, Dodge, Seres and Smart. Finally, the palace 6 opens its doors to Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, Maxus, Mazda, MG, Polestar, SsangYong, Silence, Suzuki, Tesla.
But it will also receive the luxury brands (Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes) located on “The Avenue”.
