City: Bruselas (Bruxelles / Brussel)

Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the de facto heart of the European Union, is a fascinating city of contrasts. It is a place where the golden opulence of the Grand-Place, one of the most beautiful squares in the world, coexists with the modern architecture of the European Quarter. Famous for its incredible cuisine – from mussels and fries to world-class waffles and chocolate – and an unparalleled beer culture, Brussels is also the birthplace of Art Nouveau and the comic book capital of the world. It is a multicultural and polyglot metropolis, at once historical and bureaucratic, surreal and pragmatic, which always offers something new to discover.
