Capital of 🇧🇪 Belgium with a population of around 150 thousand people.

In Brussels, grandiose Baroque architecture stands next to ultramodern skyscrapers, while traditional Belgian pubs share the streets with world-renowned Michelin-starred restaurants. It’s a city that’s constantly alive, buzzing with energy from the thousands of bureaucrats and lobbyists who work in the EU district, as well as the students and tourists who come to explore its history and culture. Start your exploration in the heart of the city at the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Take in the ornate Town Hall and the soaring spires of the Saint Michael and Saint Gudula Cathedral, then wander the narrow streets that surround the square, stopping in at one of the many chocolate shops or waffle stands. A few minutes’ walk from the Grand Place is the Manneken Pis, a small bronze statue of a boy urinating

What people say about Brussels

I visited Brussels right after there was a terror attack at the airport, and there was armed military personnel everywhere, even two standing guard outside our hotel at all times. This of course affects my feeling of the city. I also think that I can't really be fair to Brussels as I visited on a three-city-combo with Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels. And Paris and Amsterdam are really some of the top cities in Europe, while Brussels is just completely fine. It is nice to walk around, drink Belgian beers, eat Belgian chocolate, and have Belgian fries with mayonnaise. It felt a little boring after just a day or two though, and even though I won't avoid Brussels in the future, I am not in a hurry to go back.
