World’s largest chocolate selling point - Belgians love their chocolate, and so do the visitors. It’s no wonder that Brussels International Airport is the largest chocolate selling point in the world. Some of our favorite Brussels chocolate spots are: Maison Pierre Marcolini, Neuhaus, Maison Dandoy, Mary Chocolatier, and Elisabeth Chocolatier…to name just a few.
Foodie Capital - With 138 restaurants per square mile, Brussels is a gastronomic paradise. From delicious street food to unique fine dining experiences, you will definitely not go hungry exploring this city. What we recommend is to try the Moules Frites (mussels and fries), a dish originating from Belgium. Le Pré Salé or Le Zinneke are great restaurants for a true local experience. Image
The centre of Europe - Brussels isn’t just known for its food and creative side – it’s also known as the heart of Europe. It hosts the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (N.A.T.O.), making it a centre of international trade and legislature. This unique geographical and political position means Brussels has been at the centre of all the great technological changes of the 21st century – making Brussels a modern city that loves trends and innovation.
