Brussels, the Belgian capital, is at the heart of Europe. When you think of Brussels, you think of politics and the burgundian atmosphere. This is not surprising, as the European Parliament is located here. Besides, you can find a chocolatier, a beer café or a chip shop on every street corner!

Sightseeing in Brussels

Enjoy the burgundian, Belgian atmosphere in the lively heart of the city, the Grand Place. Surrounded by many guild houses, this square has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. Besides the cultural and historical events, you will find many bars, restaurants and terraces here. During your first city break to Brussels, don't miss a visit to Manneken Pis and the Atomium. Brussels is also called the capital of Europe, as it is home to the European Parliament. The Parliament building is partly open to the public. Take a look in the impressive Chamber, learn more about the functioning of the Parliament on a multimedia tour or visit the House of European History to learn more about the events of the 20th century.

Discover Brussel

Apart from the cultural and political excursions, there is much more to discover in Brussels. Top of the list, of course, is the Burgundian life. You can't leave Brussels without eating a delicious Belgian waffle, for example. You can also visit the miniature park Mini Europa, where you can see the whole of Europe in one day. Besides the many museums and cathedrals you can visit, there are often flea markets that are worth a visit.
