Sightseeing

Brussels is more than the home of the European Parliament and has much to offer with something to suit every interest, taste and timetable:
•    Grand Place – a must see on any trip to the city. Marvel at the ornate guild houses, admire the magnificent Town Hall and absorb the buzzing atmosphere in what is possibly the most beautiful square in Europe.
•    Manneken-Pis – a small bronze statue of a urinating boy, said to represent the “irreverent spirit” of Brussels. If you’re lucky you may even see the statue dressed up in one of his several hundred costumes.
•    Atomium – the 335ft (102 metre) tall representation of an atomic unit cell. Made up of nine steel balls, the windows of the top sphere offer stunning panoramic views of the city.
•    Museums – the city boasts over 90 museums – some internationally renowned and some small and quaint.

Brussels boasts an efficient and comprehensive transport system:
•    Metro – with six lines that cross the city. Identified by a blue sign with a white “M”.
