Beer, waffles and festivals - if this is what you’re looking for you will find them in abundance when you visit the Belgium’s capital city (pop: 1 000 000). Brussels is the major gateway for the country: it is on the main route heading inland from the Channel ports via the Flemish art towns, and it is also a convenient stopover on the train between France and the Netherlands. Brussels took its name from “Broekzele”, or “city of the marsh”, which developed in the sixth century on the trade route between Cologne and Brugges / Gent. Under the Habsburgs the town flourished, eventually becoming capital of the Spanish Netherlands. In the 19th century it became the capital of the newly-independent Belgium. Although nowadays, the city is often primarily regarded as a destination for businesspeople or diplomats — it is the headquarters for the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) — there is plenty to see and do for other travelers. ‘Manneken Pis’, plenty of impressive museums, delicious chocolate and a city centre divided into the upper and the lower town with a beautiful cathedral and the Grote Markt where you can enjoy your Belgian beers. Brussels requires a minimum of two nights to get a feeling for the city but an even longer stay should be planned if there is a festival in town. While Brussels is a safe city, some areas are prone to crime, especially at night. Be careful when walking near the westward arc between North and Midi railway stations and Rogier and De Brouckere Metro stations. Note: Brussels is an international city, and there is a parity between the French and Flemish-speaking Belgians. As a result, every instance of the written word, from road signs to the yellow pages, appears in both languages.

Pivo, vafli i festivali - ako je to ono što tražite ćete ih naći u izobilju kad posjetite glavni grad Belgije (pop: 1 000 000). Bruxelles je glavni gateway za zemlju: to je na glavnom putu naslova u unutrašnjosti od luke preko kanala flamanski umjetnosti gradova, a to je isto zgodan zaustavljanja na vlak između Francuske i Nizozemske. Bruxelles je dobila ime po "Broekzele", ili "grad močvara", koji se razvio u šestom stoljeću na najbliži trgovački put između Kölnu i Brugges / Gent. Pod Habsburgovcima grad je procvjetao, na kraju postaje glavni grad španjolske Nizozemske. U 19. stoljeću postao glavni grad nove nezavisne Belgije. Iako danas, grad se često smatra prvenstveno odredište za poslovne ljude i diplomate - to je sjedište za Europsku uniju (EU) i Sjevernoatlantski savez (NATO) - ima dosta toga vidjeti i učiniti za drugim putnicima. 'Pis Manneken', dosta impresivan muzeja, ukusna čokolada i centra grada dijeli na gornji i donji grad sa lijepim i katedrale Grote Markt gdje možete uživati u belgijskih piva. Bruxelles zahtijeva minimalno dvije noći kako bi dobili osjećaj za grad, ali čak i duži boravak trebaju se planirati ako se festival u gradu. Iako je Bruxelles je siguran grad, neka područja su skloni kriminalu, a posebno noću. Budite oprezni prilikom hodanja u blizini zapad luk između Sjeverne i Midi kolodvorima i Rogier i De Brouckere Metro stanica. Napomena: Bruxelles je međunarodna grada, a tu je paritet između francuskog i flamanskog govornog Belgijanci. Kao rezultat toga, u svakom trenutku, od pisane riječi, od ceste putokaze na žute stranice, pojavljuje se u oba jezika.
