When you think about Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the first things that come to mind are its iconic medieval streets, the imposing Grand Place, and, of course, the delicious smell of chocolate and Belgian beer. But the city has so much more to offer: it is a cultural, historical, and political center that combines tradition with modernity, making it one of the most fascinating European destinations to discover with your Royal Holiday membership.
WHY IS BRUSSELS FAMOUS?
Brussels is globally recognized as the European Union capital, housing important institutions like the European Commission and Parliament. This international relevance gives it a unique cosmopolitan environment where different cultures and languages interact.
But beyond its political role, Brussels is famous for its architectural patrimony. La Grand Place, declared World Heritage by UNESCO, can dazzle everyone with its baroque and Gothic buildings. Another unmissable symbol is the Atomium, a surprising metallic structure representing an iron crystal magnified millions of times. Choose the best time to travel!
The city is also famous for its culinary traditions. There is no trip to Belgium that is fulfilled without trying their authentic craft beer, a crunchy waffle, or the famous Belgian fries, served with a great variety of sauces.
And for chocolate lovers, Brussels is simply a paradise: here, you can find some of the most prestigious chocolate factories in the world.
ART, CULTURE, AND DAILY LIFE
Art has a special place in Brussels. The Magritte Museum pays tribute to the famous surrealist artist, while the streets turn into an outdoor gallery with their colorful murals inspired by comics like Tintín. Additionally, its vibrant cultural scene includes music festivals, exhibitions, and local markets that show the best of the Belgian spirit.
The city is also an excellent starting point if you want to visit other jewels of the country, like Bruges or Ghent, destinations that look like a fairy tale and that are only a couple of hours away by train.
