Lucht Hasselt

Why Hasselt?

Make the right choice and choose Hasselt as the hub for your event or meeting because Hasselt has it all. Good taste, nature, music, knowledge, or art; with a bit of luck, you can even combine them. It’s the perfect base to offer your guests more than just a meeting. 

Captivating Hasselt

Did you know that the cassette tape was invented at what was once the Philips site in Hasselt? Another leading tech site has since taken up residence in its place: Corda Campus. This vibrant biotope for start-ups and high-tech companies is an inspiring place to put down roots and sprout ideas. The Jessa Hospital, a medical pioneer in the region, sits on the edge of the city centre. Both the Jessa and Corda Campus are strongly linked to Hasselt University, where leading professors dedicate themselves to scientific breakthroughs every day.


The various institutions firmly rooted in Hasselt are also breaking boundaries with unique musical education courses, like the PXL university college’s Pop and Rock Music bachelor programme, unique for the Benelux! Talented artists of all kinds can find a suitable stage and audience here. 


In short, Hasselt is a meeting point for knowledge, scientific research, start-ups, and innovation. Perhaps it can be the meeting point for you and your team, too?

Hasselt’s Good Taste

For years, Hasselt has been known as the ‘Capital of Good Taste’, where fashion, contemporary art, and gastronomy are reason enough to make you want to visit the city. 


From breakfast to dinner, casual to chic, intimate to large groups, Hasselt has plenty of places to pamper you and your colleagues or business partners with culinary delights. By the way, did you know that Hasselt is the jenever city par excellence in Belgium? Put yourself and your team to the test in the Jenever Museum or learn more about putting together the perfect cocktail in one of the trendy cocktail bars before you sit down at the meeting table.


The city’s cosy streets and lanes are home to over 80 works of art by international artists. Feel free to book a guided tour to discover some of them. Are you more of a fashionista? Then let us take you on a tour of the Hasselt Fashion Museum’s beautiful collection and exhibitions. Z33 – House for Contemporary Art, Design & Architecture is also an international innovator that’s just moved into a beautiful new building. Did you know that you can also hold meetings or corporate events at both locations?


All you need to do is arrange things the way you want them. Of course we’re happy to help you with that.

For the love of nature

Hasselt is one of the few capital cities where you can find so much nature so close by. The city centre is teeming with welcoming squares and places to relax or hold meetings. 


Take the Japanese Garden, for example; it’s the largest in Western Europe! It would make a very special location for your next meeting or a tai chi session with your colleagues. Or jump on a bike for a guided team trip to explore the region (such as Bokrijk or the Herkenrode Abbey Site). It sounds unique, and it is, because not only are each of these locations surrounded by verdant nature, but there are many one-of-a-kind options for your corporate functions, team building events, or meetings.
