Brussels Travel Guide, Belgium. Brussels has been the de facto capital of the European Community (and now European Union) for decades, and for a good reason.

The city's gothic and baroque-style squares, set between medieval streets, are the playgrounds of international politicians and adventurous tourists alike. Authentic Belgian fare offers full three-course meals, and daily doses of chocolate and beer are worth every cent.

Brussels is cosmopolitan in ways other cities are not it's truly multilingual (French and Dutch) and almost a third of its residents aren't Belgian. The multicultural influences have led to an explosion of museums, marketplaces, restaurants and boutiques that make it far more than just a sleepy alternative.

These Brussels tourist attractions will keep you and children well entertained during your Brussels vacation. They are best visited during daytime.

And during evening, you can enjoy some of the great Brussels restaurants and bars. The best way to see Brussels attractions comfortably is the well known hop-on hop-off bus.

Also worth considering is the Brussels card, which features discounts for Brussels attractions, free entrance to museums and public transport pass. .
