DISCOVER BRUSSELS
Brussels is the capital of Europe, home of the European Union and of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
Monuments and sites to visit
Market Square (Grand-Place) : the 15th and 17th centuries gave us the “most beautiful square in the world” and its town hall.
Manneken-Pis,
There are many legends concerning this symbolic figure of Brussels. The most popular is that which relates how, by dint of doing what comes naturally, it extinguished the burning fuse of a bomb destined for the Grand-Place.
Law Courts (Palais de Justice) : Designed by Polaert
Place du Grand Sablon,
Here you will find essentially quality antique dealers, typical restaurants and chocolate shops.
The Cathedral of Saint Michel and Saint Gudule,
This building is of different styles (Roman, Gothic, ***primaire tardif and Renaissance). The remarkable 16th-century stained-glass windows and the furniture are not to be missed
The Atomium,
This was inaugurated at the International Exhibition of 1958, and represents a crystalline molecule of iron magnified 165 billion times. The most beautiful views of Brussels and Brabant are to be had from the upper sphere.

Mini Europe is situated at the foot of the Atomium. It is the only park where it is possible in a few hours to travel throughout Europe.
