Brussels is a very multicultural city but with old and beautiful areas. It's very green with a lot of parcs and large avenues. It's also an international business city with modern buildings in the center
    When in Brussels one must visit center of town,the richcorners as well as the popular ones, the big market, the old stones,narrow little streets and little
restaurants ...
The country's biggest tourist attractions are Brussels town, Ghent, Brugge, the northsea side, the Ardennes, the
whole Belgium in fact!
There are lots of carnivals during summer, jazz and song festivals, theatre and movie specials, zinneke parade (worth looking at) and other musical,
theatre and shows in open air, a lot in the summer ...

     We do different things in the winter, as it is not the warm weather that is the most typical !! mostly
people have fun in going to movies, theatre, concerts or good
restaurants ... there are lots and lots, and visiting of houses or places
restaured, also jazz or concert café's or just good old bars/cafés where you can drink good espresso's or eat very good ice or cakes with a good warm
coffee ...
For food, steak with french fries and tomatoes is mostly the national typical dish, but good salmon/oysters or other fish is also current, not so
very spiced but rather sauced ... for people who like to eat, it's wonderful

at the northsee side we have lots of fish, shrimp, trouts etc etc, with chips mostly, and good white or rosé wine... not to forget the belgian beers, very famous!!!
