Some of the great places to visit are The Grand Place a UNESCO World Heritage site situated in the heart of Brussels. Built in the 13th century visitors will marvel at the architecture as they wander round the square and the Hotel de Ville is probably the finest examples and a tour inside will reveal fine tapestries and pieces of art. The square has fine terraced cafes allowing you time to sit and watch Brussels go by and in the summer spectacular flower festivals will brighten any day. The King of Belgium resides in Brussels in the aptly named Royal Palace and if the Belgium flag is flying proudly then the King is home.

For theatres, luxury stores and cafes under one glass roof then the very first European shopping arcade of the Galeries St Hubert has the lot. After a busy day visiting the many wonderful sights,museums, parks, markets, shops then a meal in one of the restaurants and a drink in a trendy bar in the Place du Grand Sablon will round it off nicely. One of the classic meals is Moules Frites followed by a creme brulee all washed down by one of the hundreds of Belgium beers on offer.

Your visit to the chocolate capital of the world is not complete without buying a box of finest Belgian chocolates to enjoy on the train home or if you have the will power when you arrive home!
