around the world. Apart from being political centre of Europe, it’s famous
among tourists as well. Tourists usually add Brussels in their Europe tour. It
may not be as famous as Paris, Amsterdam or Zurich, but receives a large amount
of footfalls.
Begin with a coach tour of the
city making stops on the way to take pictures of this beautiful city. There are
amazing sights and scenery here. See one
of Europe’s famous landmarks – The Atomium.
Built for the 1958 World Fair, this space age structure gained
popularity in the recent years. Moving

at the Old Town, take a walk along the narrow streets and experience the
bustle. You will also find sophisticated

The Centerpiece of the Old Town
is the spectacular Grand Place. It is
one of the finest squares in the world. Just a short distance away, is one of
Brussels more amusing sight – The famous Manneken-Pis. At just 2 feet tall, it will raise a
smile on your face. Don’t forget to purchase a souvenir of the same. Besides,

Food in Brussels is mostly local.
You may not find too many multi-cuisine restaurants, but the local cuisine is
worth exploring. Experience the Belgian
Café culture, and do taste the famous Belgian Beer. Brussels is also famous for
its Waffles. You may find it all around the city. Make sure to try the famous
Godiva chocolates. This Belgian chocolate is famous all around the world. As

you spend more time in exploring the city.
