This metropolis is a collection of 19 municipalities, each with its own romance, quirky rules, and face. From a colorful African neighborhood to a sort of Manhattan, world-famous squares to dozens of sustainable restaurants.
Brussels:Huge. Brussels:GOOD.
Old and new
The city of Brussels has over 56 museums where you can admire all the pearls of art and design. You can even find a club in an old horse stable and a neighborhood full of chocolate shops.
Are you secretly a romantic? Then you can indulge your heart among all the impressive 17th-century buildings and countless parks. But you'll also get a glimpse into the future, because although this is a historical city where culinary traditions like sweet waffles and stewed meat are maintained, it has nearly 70 sustainable restaurants, countless fashion stores from young and established designers, and a daily vintage market.
Full of parks and gardens
Okay, you need a good bike and a sturdy pair of calves to tackle all the hills, but that way you can discover a different cozy park in every neighborhood.
Of course, you can also take the old metro to explore this city or take a tram to the giant Tervuren Park, where you can wander undisturbed or take a selfie in the royal garden. Wherever you go, the locals will show you how to really enjoy life.
All in one
More than half a million people from all over the world call this metropolis their home and "steek" their weekly fries here.
In a web of cobblestone streets, you'll find an enormous café culture. There, hardworking residents blow off steam on the weekend with a pint brewed in Brussels. In this city of extremes, there is room for everyone and the good news: you can get there while sleeping!
