Flemish Region

Brussels is known for its tasty chocolates, beer and innovative pastries, and has long been a foodie favourite.

A cosmopolitan mix of cultures, architecture and excellent food here comes together in the regal surroundings of the Belgian capital.

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