Brussels
Brussels is the unofficial capital of Europe — home to EU institutions, NATO headquarters, the magnificent Grand Place (one of Europe's finest squares), and the world's best chocolate, waffles, and beer. Belgium's multilingual capital punches well above its weight for art and cuisine.

Frequently Asked Questions about Brussels
Is Brussels good for a weekend break?
▾
Excellent — the Grand Place area is compact, Bruges is just 1 hour by train, Ghent is 30 minutes. Very well connected by Eurostar from London.
Is Belgian beer worth trying?
▾
Absolutely — Belgium has 1,500+ beer varieties. Try Trappist ales (Chimay, Rochefort), lambics, and gueuzes at any proper Belgian café.
What are Belgian waffles really like?
▾
Brussels waffles are rectangular and light; Liège waffles are round, denser, and caramelized. Both are far superior to what is sold as "Belgian waffles" elsewhere.
Is Brussels expensive?
▾
Brussels is more affordable than Paris or Amsterdam. Restaurant prices are reasonable, and many world-class museums are free.
What language do people speak in Brussels?
▾
Brussels is officially bilingual (French and Dutch/Flemish). Most locals also speak excellent English. French tends to dominate in the city center.
