| Brussels ……..The Beautiful Capital | |||
| |||
| |||
 russels is a city overflowing with spectacular architecture, history and friendly people. Brussels is the administrative centre for Belgium and much of Europe, adorned with many parks, gardens and woodlands. As well as loads of beautiful medieval churches, it is the food that will captivate visitors and perhaps bring them back for more.
Brussels' city centre is basically pentagonal, and all roads lead to the centre of tourism, Grand Place.  An aerial view of Brussels would show a surprising amount of greenery and water, all not too far from the heart of the city. The south-eastern part is called the upper city. The Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Place Royale, Palais de Justice Parliament and Parc de Bruxelles, the primary park in this district, are located here.
A lovely way to see Brussels is by horse and carriage. These can be found at Grand Place and are very popular with tourists. From the carriages you can absorb Brussels' wonderful atmosphere and get a great view of all the lovely historical buildings. Brussels can be easily navigated on foot. Start at the Grand Place Square, the impressive Cobblestone Square in the centre of the city surrounded by wonderful monuments, restaurants and cafes. From there seek out the famous pissing boy - the famous Manneken Pis, visit some of the 70 plus museums on offer, There are two bonuses to sightseeing in Brussels: Number One, most attractions are queue-free. Number two, discounted passes are available for the tight budgeted travelers. 
If walking all this way is not really your thing, the Metro is one of the cheapest ways to see Brussels. All over the city you'll see signs for the Metro with a huge blue "M" on a black and white background. There are 48 metro Stations in and around the city.
Whether you are looking for theatres, cinemas (movies are shown in their original language with subtitles), nightclubs, jazz bars, or theatre restaurants there is no shortage of entertainment in Brussels. Brussels boasts six opera houses; the most grand of these is the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. For those who enjoy a dinner show there are restaurants such as Adagio, Le Beau Bruzell, le Black Bottom, Garden Restaurant and many more all offering an excellent meal and a floor show. Brussels nightlife does not end at the stroke of midnight. There are a number of late-night restaurants dotted around the city such as Le Loup Voyant, Café de Paris, Le Mozart and more. These restaurants are great for people who do not want to have to restricted by time when all they really want is a great night on the town. 
There are also a huge number of wonderful shops in Brussels where you can purchase antiques, jewellery, the famous Belgian lace, the equally famous Belgian chocolates, books, crystal and the list just goes on and on.
Great seafood in great restaurants, the smell of hot waffles on a cold winter's day, cafes and pubs that never close, the cosmopolitan but neighborly feel, forests practically on the doorstep, pheasant and truffles in autumn, comic strips and designer shops are what makes Brussels special.
