Brussels, Belgium Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Brussels, Belgium.

Brussels is the capital city of Belgium and of the Brussels Capital Region. It is entirely surrounded by Dutch-speaking Flanders and its constituent Flemish Brabant province. As headquarters of many European institutions, Brussels might also be considered as the capital of the European Union. 

Being at the crossroads of cultures (the Germanic in the North and the Romance in the South) and playing an important role in Europe, Brussels fits the definition of the archetypal "melting pot", but still retains its own unique character. The population of the city of Brussels is 1 million and the population of Brussels metropolitan area is just over 2 million.
