Brussels, the capital of the kingdom of Belgium and the heart of Europe, has a lot to offer in terms of leisure, culture and shopping. A stroll through the picturesque Parc Royale de Bruxelles or a visit to the Mont des Arts is just as enjoyable as discovering the Atomium, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts or the famous opera house La Monnaie. At the Museum of the European Parliament, immerse yourself in the history of the EU in a fascinating and interactive way. Don't miss the majestic Palais de Justice, an emblematic symbol of the city.
Let yourself be charmed by this magnificent metropolis while strolling through the historic center, enjoying a portion of crispy fries and a delicious waffle, on the Grand Place or relaxing in one of the many picturesque street cafés. Take a walk through the city center or from the tower of the city hall (Hôtel de Ville) and you'll be able to admire both modern and historic buildings.
Brussels is particularly renowned for its impressive Art Deco architecture, with gems such as the Flagey building and the Villa Empain. But that's not all, the city is also a hotbed of Art Nouveau, largely thanks to the work of the illustrious architect Victor Horta. His many buildings include the Hôtel Tassel, the Hôtel Solvay and the Maison Horta, all of which are must-sees for architecture fans.
Discover Saint-Gilles, Ixelles with its ponds, le Bois de la Cambre and the Marolles for an urban and natural immersion in Brussels.
Shopping enthusiasts will love the elegant Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, the lively Avenue Louise and the many boutiques, markets and antiquarian shops around the Place du Grand Sablon.
