Brussels Travel Guide - Travel to Brussels, Belgium
Travel to Brussels, Belgium - Why visit Brussels? Brussels, the capital city of Belgium, is the major gateway for the country. As headquarters of many European institutions, Brussels might also be considered something of a capital for the European Union. There are plenty of things to see and do for travelers in Brussels: Manneken Pis (also known in French as the petit Julien), plenty of impressive museums, delicious chocolate and a city center divided into the upper and the lower town with a beautiful cathedral, and the Grote Markt where you can enjoy your Belgian beers.
When to visit Brussels? Brussels is alluring any time of year. Most visitors arrive between May and September, when the weather is at its best. Although, the lovely temperate beauty of the place can be undermined by considerable crowds at tourist sites and a scarcity of lodging. From November to March, the weather is often wretched, and the number of tourists falls off dramatically. If you pack the right clothes and keep in mind that the daylight hours will be short, you can make the most of uncrowded museums and markets.
