About 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.

❓ FAQ
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.
