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.

Tips for Gastronomy

Understand your French fries ('Frites')

Belgian 'frites' are an art. They are fried twice and served in a paper cone with a variety of sauces. The 'andalouse' and the 'samouraï' are local classics.

Brussels Waffle vs. Liège waffle

The one from Brussels is light, rectangular and crunchy, and is usually eaten with toppings such as fruit and cream. The one from Liège is denser, rounder and has caramelized sugar crystals in the dough.

Beer is a religion

Don't order 'a beer'. Each type (Trappist, Lambic, Dubbel, Tripel, etc.) is served in its own specific glass. Explore the menu and let the waiter advise you.
