Flemish Region

Brussels is known for its tasty chocolates, beer and innovative pastries, and has long been a foodie favourite. Because of its convenient transport connections to Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt, and a continuous flow of immigrants from other European countries, it is also a fascinating cultural melting pot. A cosmopolitan mix of cultures, architecture and excellent food here comes together in the regal surroundings of the Belgian capital.

The diamond capital of the world is both historically rich and refreshingly modern, with 16th-century architecture and a thriving avant-garde arts scene.

Medieval architecture, meandering channels and top notch chocolate and beer; no wonder more than 2 million tourists visit this Belgian city each year.
