Brussels is not only about the beer, waffles and chocolate! This amazing city is more than a 1000 years old. Today the name Brussels stands for the meeting point for all the diverse cultures in Europe. It is a cosmopolitan city where many different cultures live together and where different languages can be heard on each street. Brussels also has an important international vocation: as the european capital, the city is home to the European Commission and to the Council of ministers of the European Union (EU).

Variety and contrast can be found in the different architectural styles of Brussels, the former capital of the medieval Duchy of Brabant. Gothic cathedrals and churches are next to – and sometimes in stark contrast with – gracious classical facades like the buildings around the Royal Square.
