Brussels is undoubtedly one of the most cosmopolitan, sophisticated cities in Europe. Famed for its gastronomic cuisine and wonderful variety of restaurants. The lively Place de Brouckere has all the specialist seafood restaurants whilst Rue des Bouchers offers an amazing choice from modest pizzerias to international gastronomic fare at reasonable prices.
Visit the traditional cosy bars on the Grand Place and enjoy a wide selection of Belgium beers and local specialities. Brussels is a shoppers paradise with something for everyone - from trendy boutiques to large department stores. Meander through the cobbled streets around the magnificent Grand Place lined with restored Renaissance and Belle Epoque Houses. There is also a daily flea market on the Place du Jeu Balle or the weekend antiques market on the Place du Sablon.
