Discover BRUXELLES - BRUSSEL
The capital of Belgium, but also of Europe, is inevitably cosmopolitan and polyglot. A city that's always lively and welcoming. It's a patchwork of cultures that coexist in all their diversity, with French and Flemish speakers in almost equal measure, and English spoken in its offices. The city is also the capital of the zwanze, a relentless, unpretentious sense of humor that is uniquely its own. The extent of its former suburbs, born with the 19th century, has created urban cores outside the historic center, which we detail in dedicated chapters in this guide. With over 40 museums and monuments to visit, the city abounds in cultural and historical attractions, restaurants, bars and cafés. But Brussels is also a truly green capital, with numerous parks. What's more, it organizes a host of festivals that are well worth discovering.
