Why Visit Brussels, Belgium

Have you heard of the Belgian town that inspired Martin McDonagh’s comedy "In Bruges"? Whether you're a fan of modern cinema or classic art, Bruges won't disappoint. The town offers a charming escape from bustling cities with its serene squares, romantic canals, historic bridges, and scenic chapels that capture its medieval essence.

Start your visit at the iconic Belfry of Bruges. This elegant tower, once an observation point, is now a major local highlight. After admiring the Belfry, stroll around Market Square, where you can shop for souvenirs and enjoy the melodious chimes of the 47-bell carillon. Bruges also has an impressive array of museums. While the Groeningemuseum showcases masterpieces by Van Eyck, Bosch, and Magritte, the Diamant Museum reveals the history of the diamond industry. For a sweet treat, visit "Choco-Story," the Museum of Chocolate, and don’t miss the Frietmuseum, which celebrates Belgian fries with tastings and history.

The capital of Belgium and the European Union, Brussels, is a perfect blend of the old and the new. Often referred to as "the city of chocolate," Brussels offers numerous chocolatiers and places to sample high-quality Belgian treats. Local waffles and beer are also must-tries. Despite its relatively small size, Brussels has much to offer. The Grand Place, with its well-preserved 17th-century buildings, is a must-see for first-timers. Don’t miss the petite bronze statue Manneken Pis, created in 1618. For a leisurely stroll, visit Jubelpark (Cinquantenaire) with its grand U-shaped complex built in 1880. The Atomium, a futuristic landmark built for the 1958 World Fair, is also worth a visit. Top attractions include the Grand Place, Maison du Roi Museum, Royal Palace, Brussels Town Hall, Atomium, Parc du Cinquantenaire, and Mini-Europe miniature park.
