Attractions in Brussels

Attractions in Brussels

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and over 1000 years old. The European Union decided that Brussels should be its administrative centre, hence Brussels is known as the capitol of Europe.

There is a mix in population of French and Flemish contributing to its diverse culture and this is a great influence on the architecture too. Both Dutch and French are the official languages of the city, it is however a very cosmopolitan city and, as such, many different cultures live closely and a different language can be heard on every street corner!

The architecture in Brussels is quite diverse, from magnificent Gothic Cathedrals to beautiful art deco and art nouveau houses. The Grand Place is the historic market square at the heart of Brussels; it offers a spectacular Gothic Town Hall and delightful guild houses.
