It doesn’t get more Belgian than Brussels. It’s as easy as that. This metropole might also be the capital of Europe and host to some of the most important European institutions, but it’s mostly an urban blend that mixes all of Belgium’s intricacies together. Here you’ll enjoy high and low brow culture side by side. It’s both elegant and extremely easygoing. No-nonsense, yet not that easy to get to know completely. Brussels is a city whose layers you’ll need to peel away one by one. But if you do, you’ll probably discover why the locals call it “Bruxelles, ma belle”.
