As the capital of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union, Brussels is a city of rich contrasts — where medieval squares, art nouveau architecture, and world-class chocolate sit alongside bold modernism, buzzing cafés, and global diplomacy.
At its core lies the Grand Place, one of Europe’s most stunning central squares, adorned with ornate guildhalls and the majestic Town Hall. Just around the corner, you’ll find quirky icons like the Manneken Pis, elegant shopping in the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, and a trail of comic murals celebrating Belgium’s graphic novel heritage.
Brussels is also a culinary delight — from crispy frites and fluffy waffles to rich chocolates and over 1,000 types of beer. Explore local markets, sample traditional moules-frites, or enjoy gourmet dining in a city that takes food seriously.
Culturally diverse and effortlessly cool, Brussels blends historic charm with contemporary energy, making it the perfect base for discovering the heart of Europe.
