The Townhall

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the administrative centre of the European Union. This has earned the city the title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels has been given its character by the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavour to its atmosphere. The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.

You get as usual the best shoppingtips, 20 nightlife tips, and 35! restaurant tips! As Brussels is multicultural, you can find the finest world-cuisines here, with influences from Asia, Spain, Greece,Turkey, Marocco, Vietnam, Thailand, ....

Brussels is divided in 2 most important neighbourhoods : Brussels central (1000) and Elsene (1050 postal code). You can take the metro or go by foot if you like to explore the city.

Have a nice day @ our capital!
