Brussels is famous for being the capital of Belgium, is the headquarters of the European Union and has a wide variety of cultural events for all kinds of tastes any time of year. Some of the many options available to visit in Brussels are the following: Grand place: a beautiful, beautiful square in the heart of Brussels is surrounded by magnificent buildings which include: “Hotel de ville”(city hall) building to the highest tower has a height of 96 m. which was the only one that survived the bombings of 1695 and in which the tip is adorned with a statue of St. Michael defeating the devil.

The Manneken Pis: a symbol which is very representative of Brussels, and his story that the boy put out a fire in the Brussels saving disaster. Around the Grand Place is a great variety of restaurants, bars and taverns where you can enjoy delicious dishes and a variety of beers. Another of the attractions of Brussels is the "parc du Cinquentenaire built to commemorate 50 years of independence from Belgium, a beautiful park where they are located in the museum of arms and history and the Automobile Museum and a large proportion of green areas .

Finally I speak of the “Atomium” to us for the Universal Exhibition in Brussels in 1958, a large building in the form of atom in which there are exhibitions and various cultural events and where the highest field is a viewpoint which you get a lovely view of the city.
