Capital of the kingdom of Belgium is also the capital of Europe.Of course, it's well known for its Grand-Place, its Atomium, its Manneken-Pis, its beers, its waffles and its chocolates . But, just one tip: take the time, too, to soak up the very special atmosphere of its many different districts. You'll discover a Brussels thats in the spirit of the times, a capital thats relaxed and comfortable, as much in its history as in its present-day reality. Very fashionable. Very designer. Very creative.
Every year Brussels delights locals and visitors alike with its yuletide festivities and displays complete with giant Christmas tree, ice rink, illuminations, festive events and carousels. 240 wooden chalets sell all manner of gastronomic specialities, handicrafts and
other unusual stocking-fillers and over a period of three weeks, shops remain open all weekend.
The ice rink in the Place Ste Catherine is reputed to have the best ice in Europe. There will be a new sound and light show this year on the Grand Place,
