• Brussels

  As the artistic heart of the EU, Brussels is necessarily multicultural, a vibe that’s only accentuated a feeling that the city’s always been divided – half French, half Flemish - though both halves seem to enjoy their mussels and take their ‘pomme frites’ with an unusual and hefty side of mayonnaise.
  
  The Belgian capital even has an African quarter where you can snack on dried caterpillars, though the more obvious features are in the winding medieval alleyways of the lower city and the stately buildings and boulevards of the upper half. The famous Manneken Pis (a statue of a little boy engaged in endless urination) is the lower half’s primary attraction, while you’ll also find the ornate columns of the Grand Palace highly picture-worthy, and the multiple artistic museums (incorporating anything from cartoons to renaissance portraits) are world class. The new Magritte-museum is worth visiting. Don't miss the unique statue a few kilometres out of town centre: The Atomium. A futuristic monument what was built for the World Exposition in 1958.
  
  The upper half, on the other hand, hides numerous parks, the glorious Royal district (which hides the Palace of Justice) and eventually leads to the bustling ambience of the ‘European District’, home to all things EU and a businesslike ambience to suit. The whole thing was polished to a glimmering shine as part of Brussels successful bid to become the European capital of culture in 2000, and to date the city’s aging buildings manage to look as shiny and new as they have in years.
  
  Of course, it wouldn’t be Belgium without a huge array of succulent smelling chocolate shops, each home to its own long-practiced specialties and selling what invariable amounts to the richest and most addictive chocolate you’re ever likely to try. The chocolates play their role in Brussels addictive café culture, too, appearing next to your coffee on the riverside, while Brussels beer customs – another of Belgium’s alluring exports – are strong and vibrant, too.
  
  Belgium’s Europe-wide reputation is that the country’s boring, and somehow less worthy of visiting than nearby Holland or romantic France. While Brussels certainly has a slower pace to it, there’s no denying that it’s now at the heart of European progress, and the city center and its highly personalized products are as alluring as anywhere.

  Brussels is the capital of Belgium with a population of about 1 million while the population of Brussels cosmopolitan district is about 2 million. The official languages of the city are French and Dutch but those who speak French are in the majority. As a result of this, there are two names for every street and they may not sound the same.

  English is also commonly spoken due to the presence of some international institutions like the European Parliament, NATO and European Commission. However, it is important for you to note that tourist or general information is not written in English. Majority of train stations make use of French and Dutch for public announcements but larger stations like Zuidstation/Gare Du Midi will include English and at times German. On trams, buses and metros, English is used at the last resort for passing across information like terminal stops and line transfers. If you think you don't understand what is being said, you should ask from those close you.

• Roger Arets
  This 1958 iconic Brussels landmark was originally built for the World's Fair (Expo) and is now a museum where you can visit the permanent exhibition 'from symbol to icon' as well as several other exhibitions. At the top you have a nice view over the landscape and there is a small bar located inside. Nice to kill an hour or two when you're here.
• Debra Rand
  Good way to spend a few hours, there is a fast lift to the top, not ideal if you don't like being squashed in but its only takes a few seconds, you have to take the lift you cannot walk up to the top, but it is managed by staff so is in an orderly fashion, the sight is amazing you can see for many miles. You can take the stairs and escalators to the other floors to look at various arts and the original plans/drawings of this attraction, and some old film footage of the attraction. Just to inform that there is quite a few stairs going up to other levels. At the ground level outside there is a snack /coffee shop and a perfect photo opportunity with this structure in the background.
• Rocky Gurung
  Loved the Atomium. The Rene Magritte exhibition was great which is there only for a few days/months? The 360° city view from the top is priceless. Mini Europe is right next to it. Or you can go for a little peaceful stroll in the woods.
• Dan Scott
  Loved the Magritte temporary exhibit... Very well done! We wish there had been more interactive elements of the exhibits, though. The panoramic view was enjoyable too. Worth a trip in our family's opinion!
• Giles Hutchings
  Incredible building really worth seeing! We only had a day in Brussels and are very glad we went. I think it’s a lot better to go when the weather is nice, because you can get nicer pictures and see further with the views. The expo and museum tour included in the price is well worth the price - the rooms on Magritte were especially good.
