The city of choice for Eurocrats, Brussels is sumptuous, historic and luxuriously cosy. With artistry richer than chocolate, architecture as graceful as its cuisine and diversity frothier than the beer, Brussels is an heirloom of northern culture at its best.

Get lost in a dense circuit of cobblestone alleys before emerging suddenly into the magnificence of the Grand Place, with its baroque guildhalls, splendid Gothic town hall and ringside gaggle of pavement cafes and intimate restaurants. Then see what else the backstreets of Brussels have to offer.
