Brussels Vacations

Escape to the classic European city of Brussels, Belgium’s capital city and one of Europe’s must-see cultural destinations. With cultures and traditions of its own, this metropolis is historic and current at the same time. Indulge in great shopping, fabulous restaurants, beautiful parks, and almost 90 museums. You’ll walk past trendy restaurants and bars, Art Nouveau architecture, and famous sites.  In Brussels, you’re sure to eat and drink well. Taste fine foods, enjoy a beer tasting tour, and experience the lively pub scene and heavenly chocolate shops. Grand Place, the most notable place in Brussels, is the central square and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s packed with people, baroque and gothic architecture, a collection of guildhalls, cafes, and sculptures.
