Spend your holiday in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and you will feel like you are in the heart of Europe. This is because the city is the headquarters for the European Union. Even with its glass office buildings, Brussels has retained its medieval history. Visitors are attracted to Brussels for its ancient architecture, excellent wining and dining and famous upmarket shopping.
